- Seniority level appropriate for offer (L05)
- Matched Audiences active: retargeting + contact lists (L06)
- ABM company lists uploaded (up to 300,000 companies) (L07)
- Audience expansion OFF for precision campaigns, ON for scale (L08)
- Predictive audiences tested, replaced Lookalikes Feb 2024 (L09)
Creative Quality (20% weight)
- Thought Leader Ads active, ≥30% budget allocation for B2B (L10)
- Ad format diversity: ≥2 formats tested (L11)

Thought Leader Ads (TLA) Assessment
Thought Leader Ads use employee/executive personal posts as sponsored content. Non-employee members eligible since March 2025. 2-5x higher engagement than standard Sponsored Content.
- CPC typically $2.29-$4.14 vs $13.23 for standard Sponsored Content
- CTR typically 2-3x higher than corporate-branded ads
- 2-5x higher engagement (includes non-employee member TLAs since March 2025)
- Best for: B2B thought leadership, brand awareness, engagement
Evaluate:
- Are TLAs being used? (If not, HIGH priority recommendation)
- Are they getting ≥30% of total LinkedIn budget?
- Are the right employees selected (industry credibility, active posters)?
- Is post content authentic and valuable (not salesy)?
Ad Format Benchmarks
| Format | Key Metric | |--------|-----------| | Document Ads | 7.00% engagement rate | | Conversation Ads | 50-60% open rate |
Note: EU Sponsored Messaging (InMail/Conversation Ads) discontinued since Jan 2022.
LinkedIn Audience Network
Expert consensus is OFF. Quality is poor, and it dilutes campaign performance data. Disable LinkedIn Audience Network unless specifically testing with isolated budget.
ABM Strategy Assessment
For B2B Enterprise accounts:
- Company list uploaded and segmented by tier (Tier 1, 2, 3)
- Custom content per tier (personalized messaging)
- Account penetration tracking (contacts reached per target account)
- Integration with CRM/ABM platform (Demandbase, 6sense, etc.)
