LinkedIn Ads audience targeting

Stop paying to reach interns and the wrong titles.

In Campaign Manager you pick job functions, seniority and company sizes from long lists, and nothing tells you if the picks fit your product. This LinkedIn Ads audience targeting drafts them from what you sell, as one sentence you edit. You see how many members it reaches before you pay.

How it works

An audience of buyers, sized before you spend.

01

Your product

Drafted from what you sell

The first time, Hero Marketer drafts your job functions, seniority and company sizes from your product, as one sentence.

02

Your edit

Pick the levels your buyers hold

Each part is a checklist you tick or untick. Seniority runs from Entry to Owner. Unpaid and Training aren't on the list.

03

The size check

Too small is caught first

You see about how many LinkedIn members the audience reaches. Under 300, LinkedIn can't run the ads, so you widen it before anything is written.

Fewer than 300 members. LinkedIn needs more to run, so widen the audience.

After launch

See who you reached

Hero AI's deep dive reads who you reached by job function, seniority and size. It can't change a running audience, so you do that in Campaign Manager.

What comes next

Audience research is where
a LinkedIn campaign starts.

Choosing an audience changes nothing in your LinkedIn account until you launch. Audiences are job functions, seniority and company sizes. There are no saved audiences, matched audiences, lookalikes or company lists.

Audience research

An audience you can read in one sentence.

No facet lists to scroll. You see who the campaign is for, about how many LinkedIn members that is, and what to widen when it's too small.

Common questions

What to know before you try LinkedIn Ads audience targeting.

Is this better than choosing the audience in Campaign Manager myself?

It can be, if you would rather edit an audience than build one. Hero Marketer drafts the job functions, seniority and company sizes from your product, and you change any part. You still decide who the campaign is for.

Can I explain this audience to my CEO?

Yes. The audience is one sentence: who works in which job functions, at what level, at companies of what size. Under it you see about how many LinkedIn members that is, using the rounded count LinkedIn gives.

What if my audience is too small?

You find out before you spend. Under 300 members, LinkedIn can't run the ads, so Hero Marketer asks you to widen the audience and doesn't write the ads until you do.

Will it change my LinkedIn account, or a campaign that already runs?

No. Picking an audience changes nothing until you launch a new campaign. Hero AI can't change the audience of a campaign that already runs. It shows who that campaign reached, and you change it in Campaign Manager.

What does LinkedIn audience targeting cost?

Signing up is free. The first audience for a product costs about 0.05 credits, and every campaign after that starts from it free. Writing the ads uses credits too. Credits come in $20 packs with no monthly fee, and unused credits are refundable within 90 days of purchase.

Our leads cost more this month. Is it Google or LinkedIn?

LinkedIn. Its cost per lead rose from $180 to $260, and 46% of its clicks came from people at entry level, who rarely become leads for you. Google held at $74 a conversion, so leave it alone.
