## Benchmarks

| Metric | Good | Average | Poor |
|--------|------|---------|------|
| CTR (Sponsored Content) | >0.8% | 0.4-0.8% | 3% | 1-3% | $10 |
| CPM | $60 |
| Cost per Lead (Lead Gen) | $150 |
| Lead Gen Form completion | >15% | 10-15% | 25% | 15-25% | 0.5% | 0.3-0.5% |  carousel for awareness (simpler, higher CTR)
- Document ads for lead gen (native PDF viewer, no landing page needed)
- Video with captions (85% of LinkedIn video watched without sound)
- Refresh creative every 4-6 weeks (frequency fatigue sets in fast)

### Targeting
- Start broad, then narrow based on performance data
- Layer max 2-3 targeting dimensions (avoid over-segmentation)
- Use exclusions aggressively (exclude converted leads, competitors)
- ABM: combine company list + seniority for precision

### Lead Gen Forms
- Max 3-4 fields (pre-filled from profile = high completion)
- Include a thank-you page with next step
- Integrate with CRM (Zapier, native, or API) for instant follow-up
- Speed-to-lead matters: contact within 5 minutes = 9x higher connect rate
