What is a LinkedIn Ads report?

A LinkedIn Ads report is a tool that consolidates data from LinkedIn Ads to track and display key performance indicators (KPIs) (e.g., CTR, CPC, conversions), enabling teams and agencies to monitor campaign performance and create presentations for clients and executives. 

LinkedIn Ads reports are typically created using flexible tools like Google Looker Studio, Power BI, Google Sheets, or platform-specific solutions to enable high customization and integration of LinkedIn Ads data.

What to include in a LinkedIn Ads report?

An actionable LinkedIn Ads report balances context and specificity based on the audience (executives, managers, and analysts) and their use cases.

Executive LinkedIn Ads reports

Executive reports for CMOs, CEOs, and clients show LinkedIn Ads' bottom-line impact. Reviewed weekly, monthly, or quarterly, they include:

  • ROI analysis: by campaign, using attribution for large budgets (≈100k/mo).
  • Unit economics analysis: CAC, LTV, payback, ARPU from LinkedIn-acquired customers
  • Cohort analysis: retention, expansion, and LTV by customer cohort (sign-up period, acquisition channel)
  • Add text for additional context to translate metrics for non-technical audiences. Present in slide decks and simplified Looker Studio reports.

LinkedIn Ads manager reports

Manager reports have campaign views with drill-downs to see performance by client, brand, region, team member, funnel stage, and campaign. They help align teams, define tactics, and include:

  • Campaign reporting: overall campaign, product, client, or region reporting
  • Goal tracking: compare current performance vs objectives
  • Audits for prioritization and spotting issues 
  • Competitive analysis for tactic mapping
  • Audience research

Operational LinkedIn Ads reports

Operational reports for analysts and channel managers have granular, customizable KPIs to solve technical issues. Monitored hourly, daily, or weekly, they cover:

  • Budget pacing, engagement, creative performance, CPA
  • Post metrics, follower growth, engaging topics

Operational LinkedIn Ads reports are highly customized, built in flexible tools like Google Sheets or Looker Studio to enable data cleaning, blending, annotations, and integrating LinkedIn Ads data.
