Whether you’re a small business looking to expand your reach or a large enterprise aiming to connect with decision-makers, LinkedIn Ads offer powerful tools to achieve your goals. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essential steps to set up your LinkedIn Ads account, ensuring you’re ready to launch effective campaigns:
Create a LinkedIn Account:
If you don’t already have a LinkedIn account, the first step is to sign up. Go to LinkedIn’s homepage and click on “Join now.” Fill in your details and complete the registration process.
If you already have an account, simply log in.
Access LinkedIn Campaign Manager:
Once logged in, navigate to the LinkedIn Campaign Manager by clicking on the “For Business” icon in the top-right corner and selecting “Advertise on LinkedIn.”
Campaign Manager is where you’ll manage your ads, track performance, and access all LinkedIn advertising tools.
Set Up an Account:
Click on “Create Account” in Campaign Manager.
Enter your account name, associate it with your LinkedIn Page (if you have one), and choose your currency. It’s essential to select the correct currency as you won’t be able to change it later.
Add Billing Information:
To run ads, you’ll need to enter your billing details. Navigate to the “Billing Center” in Campaign Manager and add a payment method. LinkedIn accepts major credit cards, and in some regions, you may have the option to pay by invoice.
Understanding LinkedIn’s billing structure is important. You’ll be billed based on the campaign budget you set, either per click, impression, or lead.
Set Up a LinkedIn Page (if not already done):
A LinkedIn Page is crucial for businesses as it allows you to promote your brand and connect with followers. If you don’t have one, go to the LinkedIn Pages section and create one. Fill out all necessary information, including your company name, logo, and description.
An optimized LinkedIn Page helps increase brand visibility and credibility, making it easier for users to engage with your ads.
Don’t forget to link your Page to your Ad Account! some text
Sign in to Campaign Manager.

A month or so ago, I shared the beginning results of an ad I was running. I decided to give you an update! I shared the real results of this Facebook Lead Ad below. But, since I also get the question, "Are your leads good quality?", I decided to also share the results of the bulk verification of all of these leads.Gone are the days where beginners or non experts can run their own ads successfully, thanks to Plai

Plai has really changed our business for the better. Having all ad platforms in one place is so much better than what we were doing before. They listen to customer requests and develop new features incredibly fast. Plai is easy to use even for less techy people.

One of the best apps and white label services!Plai is an awesome platform - Logan and his team are amazing! This app replaces all of the overpriced (and underwhelming) white label marketing agencies on the market. We love it!

We've launched our first two Spotify ads, and the engagement, clicks, and listen- through rates have been really amazing - and cost-effective. This is a spectacular addition.

I waited to post this to see if support was great on the backend. I'm blown away! Support is incredible and product is hands down an undiscovered diamond.Been in digital marketing real estate niche for 12 years. Every realtor says the same thing after I taught a class. Love what you said but can you make it easier.Logan and the team have done an incredible job in the white label version. I have tried HEX, High Level and multiple platforms. The problem I always run into is onboarding and simplicity. Been looking for this for four years! Hands down product of the year! Congratulations guys great job!
