Your buyer, from your results · confidence high

Owners and directors, including the US, at manufacturers and service firms. Half the leads are US.

Geo from the country pivot, not from the account name.

Not a typed-in target audience: the people and companies that actually converted, from your CRM, your lead forms and your landing page clicks, in that order of trust.

This is inferred from your results, not something you told us. If your ICP is different, add it. It never changes the numbers.

Manufacturing converts at 1.3 to 1.65x. The US converts. The inferred ICP said UK and EU.

Senior, Entry, and Product Management are the zeros. About £2,060.

Index = share of conversions ÷ share of delivery. Shares stay inside one dimension. LinkedIn pivots inflate absolute counts, so dollars are never summed across dimensions.

Section 06 · the no-CRM north star

Is the right audience seeing real people?

Funnel stage is read from the audience (website, engagement, or video retargeting is the middle), not from the objective.

  • Audience Network off before any TLA number is judged.

Section 08 · leads by type, never averaged

Demo, content, booking, and site visits each have their own band.

A lead gen form campaign is not judged on landing page clicks. A message ad to a URL is not judged on form opens.

Document ads complete. Single-image demo forms do not.

Document ads complete far more often than single-image forms on the same lists. The form copy that decided demo vs content is the type chip.

Without your CRM we're blind after the click. Connect HubSpot, Pipedrive or Attio and this ladder fills in, direct and influenced, with a cost at every stage.

What connecting unlocks
  • Which leads became opportunities
  • Direct vs influenced pipeline by stage
  • Cost per opportunity once 25 CRM accounts are in the panel

Per-format influence is a labelled slot until the company-by-campaign join exists. Message ads have no company pivot.

Lessons for this account
  • Leads by company is the proxy until a CRM is connected.
  • View-through is not a lead.

Leads by company when the form has a company field

Company reach is LinkedIn's top-100-per-day pivot, so shares are a lower bound. Message ads have no company pivot.

Section 12 · the panel, after your own data

What advertisers like you do differently.

A finding is dropped if it asks for a bigger audience, if the cell is unknown, or if your own paired campaigns contradict it.

Your own document ads beat single image

The panel said shift to single image. Your paired data says the opposite, so the panel line is not shown.

The cheapest leads in the cohort, and a grade that said otherwise. The grade was the bug. Document ads stay. The single-image demo forms and the Calendly messages do not.
