About LinkedIn Ads
LinkedIn Ads is a pay-per-click (PPC) advertising platform that allows businesses to display ads to LinkedIn users, the world’s largest professional network on the internet with 875 million members in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide. LinkedIn is a professional networking platform, so the users are typically professionals and decision-makers in their industries. LinkedIn Ads offers a number of targeting options that are specific to the professional context, such as job title, industry, company size, and location. This can make LinkedIn Ads a particularly effective way to reach a business-to-business (B2B) audience.
