LANE — B2B SAAS
We run LinkedIn® Ads for B2B SaaS companies that already have product-market fit — one channel, against cost per SQL, pipeline created and CAC payback.
Minimum ad spend $10,000 a month. Teardown delivered in 3 business days.
THE SCOREBOARD
A cost-per-lead comparison usually decides against LinkedIn before the channel is understood. The comparison that actually decides whether LinkedIn belongs in your mix is cost per qualified opportunity, and what those opportunities are worth once they close. A channel with a worse cost per lead and a better lead-to-opportunity rate can still be the cheapest pipeline you buy — and the only way to see that is to send the qualified stage back into the platform.
01
Ad spend divided by the leads your sales team confirmed were worth working.
02
The value of opportunities opened from this source, in the period they opened.
03
How many months of gross margin it takes to earn the acquisition cost back.
04
Whether LinkedIn opportunities close at a different rate from everyone else’s.
FIT
A good fit
An average contract value high enough that a B2B click price is rational
$10,000 a month or more in LinkedIn ad spend
A CRM we can import qualified stages from
A defined ICP, even a rough one
A named offer: demo, trial, assessment, benchmark report, webinar
Not a fit yet
Pre-product-market-fit
No CRM and no plan for one
Low-price self-serve with no sales motion behind it
A team that needs a pipeline number guaranteed in writing
Anyone who wants MQL volume reported back as success
OBJECTIONS
Sometimes that is true, and we will tell you on the teardown rather than after you have signed. The cost that decides it is cost per opportunity, not cost per lead, and you cannot see cost per opportunity until qualified stages are imported back from the CRM. That import is the first thing we build.
There are four common causes, and they are the four we look for first. An audience too small to deliver, or far broader than the ICP. Audience expansion left on, quietly widening the targeting. A single image ad pointed at a homepage. Or conversions counted at the form instead of at the stage that matters. All four are visible in the account itself, which is what the teardown looks at.
Then the account is optimizing toward the wrong event. Lead Gen Forms make it very easy to collect people who will never buy, because the form costs the member nothing to complete. The fix is not more questions in the form — it is teaching the bidding what a good lead looked like three weeks later.
Per click and per lead it usually is. It is also capped by how many people are searching for what you sell. LinkedIn is not a demand-capture channel and it should not be judged on demand-capture math.
FORMATS
DOCUMENT ADS
A useful document read inside the feed. It fits a benchmark report, a teardown or a checklist, and it can collect a lead without sending anyone to a landing page.
LEAD GEN FORMS
The form is pre-filled from the member’s own profile, so nobody retypes their details. LinkedIn supports them on single image, carousel, video, event, message, document and conversation ads — not on Text Ads, Follower Ads or Spotlight Ads.
SINGLE IMAGE AND VIDEO
The workhorses. We use them for retargeting and for driving a demo request onto a page you control, where your own tracking is.
CONVERSATION ADS
Several call-to-action buttons inside one inbox message. Useful against a short named account list, and billed per send rather than per click, which changes the math completely.
THOUGHT LEADER ADS
An existing organic post promoted under its author’s name, with their permission requested and granted in Campaign Manager. Only single-image or single-video posts are eligible, and the single-image and video versions carry no call-to-action button — so it is a familiarity play, not a direct-response one.
Format availability and its limits are LinkedIn’s, not ours, and they change. Every line here is checked against LinkedIn’s own documentation before it is published.
OFFLINE CONVERSIONS
01
From a Lead Gen Form or from your own landing page, with the campaign and ad set recorded against it.
02
Sales marks it qualified, or does not. That judgment is the only one that counts.
03
Through the Conversions API, or by CSV where the CRM cannot. LinkedIn deduplicates events sent by both the Insight Tag and the Conversions API, so running both does not double-count.
Conversion windows are configurable, and the attribution model can credit every ad set a member touched or only the most recent one. We choose both deliberately and we tell you which we chose, because the same month reads differently under each.
SCOPE
Which of these are in scope at your tier is set by the tier table on the pricing page. Anything restricted to a tier is named as such there and here.
THE FIRST 90 DAYS
01
Conversion definitions written down, the Insight Tag verified, the CRM import built, the naming convention set. Spend stays flat until the numbers can be trusted.
02
A document or Lead Gen Form offer at the top and retargeting underneath, each ad set funded long enough to leave the learning phase.
03
Qualified stages start feeding the bidding, the losing half is cut, and the report moves from form fills to opportunities.
PROOF
No SaaS results are published here yet. A case study appears only once that client has signed off on its numbers in writing. The teardown is the fastest way to see the standard of the work without waiting for one.

You pay PeakSearch Digital. PeakSearch Digital then pays LinkedIn, and the analytics software your campaigns use, on your behalf. That spend is passed through at cost with no mark-up, and it is separate from the management fee.
QUESTIONS
No. We report the qualified stages your own sales team has confirmed, plus the leading indicators that predict them. MQL volume is easy to move and tells you almost nothing about whether the channel pays for itself.
No. Your campaigns run inside PeakSearch Digital's LinkedIn Business Manager, and PeakSearch Digital pays LinkedIn for your ad budget. You are not asked to open or fund a LinkedIn ad account yourself. Your existing account and its history stay where they are and we do not touch them. We read them once, in the teardown, with read-only access you can withdraw in one click, and what we learn from them shapes what we build.
Then connecting it is the first two weeks of the work. Without it every number on the report is a form fill, and form fills are the reason this channel has the reputation it has.
Yes. A list has to match a minimum number of real members on LinkedIn's side before it can be used in targeting, so we upload and check the match rate before promising a campaign built around it.
Where an automated campaign type is available in your account, we test it against a campaign we built by hand and report both. Automation takes over the levers a specialist uses — targeting, exclusions, placement, bidding and creative selection — so it is something to test on your account rather than something to assume. We check what is actually available in your account instead of describing a product page.
90 days, then 30 days. This platform needs a quarter before its numbers mean anything, and a shorter commitment means you pay for the learning and leave before the learning pays you back.
