Create a LinkedIn Ads campaign

Updated 2026-10-17

In CustomIQ a LinkedIn Ads campaign is created from the IQ chat: type "Create an ad campaign on LinkedIn.", the agent asks for goal, professional audience and budget, generates the ad images and copy and leaves them in Campaigns, where you review them, approve the budget and deploy. You can also create it by hand with Add Campaign in Campaigns.

What is a LinkedIn Ads campaign in CustomIQ?

An ad campaign aimed at professionals by industry, role or company, which the agent designs with image and copy and publishes to your Campaign Manager account.

How do I create it in the chat?

Type "Create an ad campaign on LinkedIn." in the IQ chat. The agent asks for goal, audience, offer and budget, presents the plan and, once approved, generates the ads.

What do I do from the dashboard?

Review, approve and deploy in Campaigns. On LinkedIn the current flow is create, review, approve the budget and deploy; adding creatives, optimizing and retargeting are not available on this channel yet.

What do I need first?

LinkedIn Ads connected in Connections, a complete brand profile and, if the offer is a document, have it ready.

What does it cost?

Generation consumes credits with the amount visible before you confirm; ad spend is charged by LinkedIn.
