LinkedIn Ads + Salesforce review

Previous: 1–28 January. Current: 29 January–25 February. Both periods contain 28 days. Monetary values use USD and all timestamps use UTC. The example compares acquisition measures with CRM deal progression. A submitted lead and a qualified deal are different events, with different reporting dates.

What Hendrik checks

  1. Lead definition and delivery

    Check LinkedIn conversion rules, campaign and creative delivery, then compare the same lead definition across periods.

  2. Opportunity and campaign definition

    Check Salesforce record type, stage history, campaign membership, and identity coverage before using opportunity movement.

  3. Explain the divergence

    LinkedIn Ads: reported leads (count, 28 days) changed from 120 to 152. Salesforce: qualified opportunities created (count, 28 days) changed from 28 to 24. Compare the timing and definitions before attributing one change to the other.

Requirements and data limits

What you need

  • Use one explicit 28-day comparison window, time zone, market, and legal-entity scope before comparing values.
  • Connected LinkedIn Ads account with lead and delivery reporting for the stated window.
  • Connected Salesforce org with agreed lead, opportunity, and stage definitions.
  • Keep provider-specific definitions visible and use an identity or product mapping only where it is established for this workspace.

Keep these differences in mind

  • A platform lead is not automatically a qualified lead, deal, or paid customer.
  • CRM campaign and opportunity records require an established identity relationship before attribution claims.
  • Campaign membership alone does not establish LinkedIn causal credit.
