When you use UTM parameters in your #LinkedInAds, you can track web form submissions all the way down to the specific ad (for those with high click volume).
Here are the four UTM parameters that we like to use for our own ads [THREAD]:
If I'm using LinkedIn Ads to drive web traffic, my source will likely be "linkedin".
2/ Medium
For medium, I like to specify the ad format that I'm using. So if I'm sending traffic to my site with Sponsored Content Ads, I might use "sc" as my medium.
3/ Campaign
The campaign parameter is great for including information about either the actual campaign I'm sending traffic from or a description of the audience. That way, I can go into Google Analytics and see all of my reporting by specific audience segment.
4/ Content
Lastly, I use the content parameter to create a unique identifier for every ad I launch. What's cool about this is it allows me to see the exact image and ad copy that drove website activity.
This includes the date ads were launched and the number of ad in a set.

Campaign performance can be attributed to an audience quickly and easily when it's named after your audience targeting, rather than the asset.
Micro-segmenting your audience into multiple campaigns can help you gain even deeper insights.
2/ Paying too much for your clicks, especially at the start of a campaign.
Your relevancy score rides on the strength of historical campaign performance. So if you're creating a new campaign for every new asset, costs will likely be higher in the beginning.
