Campaign Manager performance metrics help you measure the effectiveness of your ad campaigns. These metrics can be seen in Campaign Manager when viewing your campaign, and they can be downloaded as performance reports.
Here's a tip
The metrics shown are based on the objective and ad format selected. For example, if you have LinkedIn Conversion Tracking set up, you’ll see Conversion metrics.
The performance metrics are:
-
Spent: Amount you spent on ads impressions or interactions.
-
Key Results: Number of times your campaign achieved an outcome based on your objective and campaign settings. Note: Key results aren’t available for legacy campaigns.
Important to know
Some ads running on the LinkedIn Audience Network might use Group Identity to deliver and measure ads. In such instances, some key results might come from audiences that sometimes align only partially with your targeting criteria. -
Cost Per Result: Average cost per result. This is the total spend on your campaign divided by the number of results based on your objective.
- For Brand Awareness campaigns, the cost per result is the total spend for your campaign divided by every 1,000 member accounts reached.
-
Impressions: Number of times your ad was displayed.
- As of March 2018, we record an impression of your Sponsored Content in your LinkedIn Campaign Manager reporting whenever the ad is at least 50 percent in view on a device screen or browser window for at least one second on desktop or 300 milliseconds on mobile.
- For Sponsored Content ads shown on the LinkedIn Audience Network, an impression is counted when the ad renders on the partner’s page.
