The Problem

Most B2B SaaS teams treat LinkedIn Ads like a single channel. It's three — and each one needs a different approach.

You're targeting too broadly.

"More reach" doesn't mean more results. It means more irrelevant clicks eating your budget.

Same ad, same message, every stage.

Awareness prospects get a demo CTA. Decision-ready buyers get a blog post. Nobody converts.

You're picking ad formats randomly.

Document ads, video, lead gen forms — each one has a job. Use the wrong format at the wrong stage and it underperforms.

You're measuring the wrong things.

Impressions at the top, conversions at the bottom. Mix those up and you'll either overspend or pull budget too early.

This guide fixes the system. Not the symptoms.

What's Inside

What's in the guide

The same approach we use with B2B SaaS clients. Not theory — what we actually run.

Targeting that stops the budget leak

Who are your buyers? What do they care about? Where are they? Answer these three questions and your budget stops leaking.

Message-to-stage matching

Good targeting with the wrong message still fails. You'll see what to say — and when to say it.

Ad types that convert

Single-image, video, document, lead gen — each format has a job. You'll know which one to use where.

What to measure (and what to ignore)

Most teams track the wrong numbers. Here's what actually tells you if it's working — at each stage.

Retargeting without wasting budget

First touch rarely converts in B2B. Here's how to stay visible without annoying people or burning cash.

Launch checklist

ICP defined? Campaign Manager configured? Tracking connected? Run through this before you spend a krone.

The Framework

Three stages. One connected system.

Each stage has its own goal, ad types, and metrics.

Top of Funnel

Create demand

Decision-makers don’t know you yet. Show up with something useful — not a demo request.

Ads: Single-Image, Text, Video

Track: Impressions, Frequency

Middle of Funnel

Generate interest

Prospects are researching solutions. Give them webinars, e-books, and testimonials. Retarget everyone who engaged in the awareness stage.

Ads: Document, Lead Gen, Retargeting

Track: Conversions, Engagement Rate

Bottom of Funnel

Capture demand

They’re comparing options. Use lead gen forms for demos and trials. Fewer fields, faster conversion.

Ads: Lead Gen (hard CTA), Retargeting

Track: MQL Rate, Demo Requests
