B2B Strategy
How does LinkedIn compare to Google Ads?
The two platforms serve different purposes.
Google Ads captures existing demand. People search because they're already looking for a solution.
LinkedIn Ads creates demand by placing your offer in front of professionals who may not yet be actively searching.
For example:
A Google search for "CRM software" shows immediate buying intent.
A LinkedIn campaign targeting Sales Directors introduces your CRM before they even begin researching vendors.
Many successful B2B companies use both platforms together.
