How to use Looker Studio to get Better Performance out of your LinkedIn Ads

Looker Studio is so much more than a reporting tool. Learn how to use it to gain valuable insights into your LinkedIn Ads campaigns and access hidden data.

Optimize your LinkedIn Ads Using Looker Studio

Want deeper performance insights into your LinkedIn Ads campaigns? Use Looker Studio.

Looker Studio is so much more than a reporting tool. You can use it to gain valuable insights into your LinkedIn Ads campaigns by analyzing data in ways that you can't within the ad platform.

The problem: Limited insights within the LinkedIn Ads platform

When looking at your performance data in the LinkedIn Ads platform, you are limited to looking at your data from a campaign group or campaign perspective.

With a good naming convention and segmentation, you can gain a lot of insights and can even dig deeper by filtering for elements and looking at the summary row.

This is great.

The problem is that even with good naming and campaign segmentation, a single campaign will often include multiple industries, seniority, job functions, and company sizes.

Overcome limited insights with Looker Studio

With Looker Studio, you can analyze your data by looking at the performance of these exact dimensions, unlocking a wealth of information about what segments are performing well or not well within your campaigns.

It takes understanding your campaign data to a whole new level.

How to set up your report

Here is how you can use Looker Studio to examine each member dimension in a table using the steps in the image below.

Using Member Dimensions to analyze your data

Here are the main member dimensions you can analyze performance by

Member industry
Member Seniority
Member Job Function
Member Company Size

Analyzing the data

With this new information, you can optimize your account by excluding what performs poorly and putting more budget towards what performs well.

Always think big picture, if a CEO is converting a cost 2X that of a Senior member, don’t exclude CEOs. 😋

PS. My Looker Studio connector of choice is PowerMyAnalytics for its performance and fair pricing.

Better insights = better performance

By digging deeper into your data, you will be able to optimize your campaigns for better performance and make more informed decisions that guide your overall marketing strategy.
