For business owners, heads of marketing, founders, and CEOs, advertising on LinkedIn is going to be your best bet to promote your company, product, or service offering (especially for lead generation in B2B markets). We dive into the targeting differences between LinkedIn and Facebook in our Social Media Marketing Guide. What makes marketing on LinkedIn unique is that it allows you to target by company lists (something that Facebook and other social media networks do not offer). You can upload a company list, which enables you to target specific individuals at a company. All social media networks will allow you to upload email lists, but company lists can expand your reach even more.

Using LinkedIn Matched Audiences in your ad campaigns are a great way to narrow down to either a list of prospects you have, a list of companies, previous customers, “abandoned cart or drop-off” leads, or people who visited your website but then bounced.

Step 1: Add the Companies If you have less than 300 companies you want to target, then you can simply add in each company by their company name. If you have more than 300 companies, download LinkedIn’s Company List upload template.
