LinkedIn Advertising: Costs Per Campaign Objective

LinkedIn Advertising Costs for Video Views

Is visibility, specifically views of your video, the goal of your LinkedIn campaign? Then you choose the campaign objective of video views, where the algorithm looks for people within your target audience inclined to watch the video.

On average, for a campaign budget of €100, we achieve about 6,125 views in video campaigns.

LinkedIn Advertising Costs for Website Traffic

Is your focus on driving traffic to your website? Then you use the campaign objective of website traffic, focusing on clicks. While we focus less on the number of views or reach for comparison, it’s still useful to know this.

On average, for a campaign budget of €100, we achieve 3,846 views and 22 clicks.

LinkedIn Advertising Costs for Lead Generation

Perhaps the ultimate LinkedIn campaign objective: lead generation. In our experience, this works excellently for companies with a B2B audience. When you choose this campaign objective, you offer your audience something in exchange for personal details, such as a whitepaper, factsheet, or e-book.

On average, we generate 2.6 leads for a campaign budget of €100.

Costs of LinkedIn Advertising

As you can see, the costs vary greatly depending on the campaign objective. Additionally, we observe strong differences in audiences, both geographically and in personal characteristics, and content forms. In our opinion, advertising on LinkedIn is worth it for B2B audiences, and we are using it more and more!

Costs are, of course, an important consideration when deciding to deploy LinkedIn campaigns. Besides the costs, think about the returns, how specifically you can tailor your audience, and whether you can reach this specific audience in another way at lower costs.
