001 / B2B GTM Engineering · LinkedIn Ads Model ·

LinkedIn ads, engineered.

A live ballpark of what account-based LinkedIn ads actually cost. Set your target accounts, buyers per account, and frequency -- the model handles LinkedIn's audience floors and shows the spend.

Targeting inputs

Who you're putting ads in front of. Numbers update the audience panel on the right.

01/Dynamic
Dynamic account ads
Target accounts
Accounts that get a creative built for them -- their name, footprint, and signals in the ad. Runs in rotating flights to respect LinkedIn's per-campaign minimums.
Buyers per account
The people you actually want seeing it. LinkedIn pads every campaign audience to its 300-member floor -- the model accounts for the filler.
02/Generic
Generic pooled ads
Target accounts
Smaller accounts pooled into shared audiences -- one message tested across the whole segment. No 300-per-account floor.
Buyers per account
Only your buyer titles get targeted -- the pool is 100% ICP.
03/Frequency
Impressions per person / month
How often each person sees an ad. 2-4 is a sane awareness cadence; 6+ is a surround-sound push behind active outbound.

Cost inputs

What LinkedIn charges and how long you run. Spend forecast on the right.

01/Rate
CPM ($ per 1,000 impressions)
B2B SaaS sponsored content averages $30-50 CPM; narrow senior ABM audiences clear $50-100+.
02/Engagement
Click-through rate (%)
B2B SaaS sponsored content averages 0.45-0.65%; top quartile 0.65-0.8%+. Account-personalized creative sits at the top of that.
03/Duration
Campaign length (months)
ABM ads compound with the outbound running alongside them -- a quarter is the honest minimum read.
04/Conversion
Visit → lead rate (%)
Share of ad-driven visits that book a demo or fill the form. B2B SaaS landing pages average 2-4% across all lead types; demo-request pages on cold paid-social traffic run 1-2%. Direct only -- ads also lift reply rates on the outbound running beside them, which this doesn't count.
