LinkedIn Ads reporting without getting lost in Campaign Manager

A CPL 5× higher than Google Ads — hard to justify to clients without structured reporting that shows the real value of the leads generated.

Campaign Manager: an austere UX and exports that don't tell the story — the available columns don't match the questions B2B clients actually ask.

No unified view across LinkedIn and your other B2B channels — comparing LinkedIn CPL against Google Ads CPA means shuffling data by hand.

LinkedIn conversion tracking (Lead Gen Forms, website conversions, CRM) is siloed and hard to reconcile with real pipeline data.

Why is the CPL on LinkedIn Ads so high?

LinkedIn CPL is structurally higher because its professional targeting (function, company, industry) is unique and its audiences are smaller. The value sits in lead quality. Mindy helps you calculate the true acquisition cost by relating CPL to the deal value generated.
