Pros
LinkedIn Ads
Unmatched B2B targeting (job title, company name, company size, industry, seniority)
lead gen forms reduce friction
high-quality leads for B2B sales teams
excellent for ABM strategies
WordStream (by LocaliQ)
Simplifies PPC management for non-experts
free Google Ads Performance Grader is genuinely useful
"20-Minute Work Week" concept reduces ongoing management burden
Cons
LinkedIn Ads
VERY expensive — CPMs and CPCs are 5-10x higher than Meta Ads
limited optimization compared to Google/Meta's sophisticated bidding
smaller audience
creative options are limited
conversion tracking is less mature
WordStream (by LocaliQ)
Adds a layer between you and the ad platforms (less control)
optimization suggestions are basic compared to manual expert management
