LINKEDIN AD TARGETING

Your Ads Should Follow Your Intent Signals

Stop targeting cold audiences. Warmly automatically syncs high-intent accounts and buying committee members to LinkedIn Ads. Your budget goes to people who are actually in-market.
LinkedIn Ad Targeting is an intent-driven audience sync that automatically populates LinkedIn Matched Audiences with high-intent accounts, buying committee members, and website visitors — updating in real-time as signals change, coordinating with outbound sequences, and providing full attribution from ad impression to closed-won pipeline.

Budget spent on awareness

Can't connect ad spend to revenue
Full attribution to deals
Too Broad
Title targeting hits everyone, not buyers
LinkedIn targeting by "VP Sales" reaches millions — but how many are actually evaluating solutions right now?
Result: Budget spread across cold audiences
No Intent
Reaching people who aren't shopping
Your ads reach people with relevant titles but zero buying intent. Classic awareness spend with no pipeline result.
Result: Low conversion, high cost per opp
No Coordination
Ads and outbound don't work together
SDR sends email while prospect sees different ad messaging. Disjointed experience, wasted impressions.
Result: Multiple touches that don't reinforce
No Attribution
Can't prove ads drove pipeline
CFO asks "what did that $50K ad spend produce?" and you have no answer connecting impressions to closed deals.
Result: Marketing budget cut next quarter
Crush your quota
The loop closes:Ad impressions lead to site visits, which Inbound Agent converts, and attribution connects it all.

When accounts show intent, they're added. When intent fades, they're removed. Your targeting reflects reality.

Intent-Driven Ad Personalization

Most agencies use intent data for targeting. Warmly uses it for personalization.
The typical approach
Run the same creative to everyone who shows intent. Hope one message resonates with all buyers.
The Warmly approach
Use intent signals to inform which ads people see.
Intent Signal
Ad Creative Strategy
Researching "sales automation"
Serve automation-focused messaging
Visited pricing page 3x
Decision-stage CTAs, ROI calculator
Competitor comparison searches
Differentiation content, feature comparison
Multiple stakeholders from account
Committee-stage messaging (consensus building)
High Bombora surge on your category
Awareness-stage thought leadership
Why this matters:Most ad agencies test hundreds of creatives hoping something works. Intent signals tell you what will work before you spend. When someone's researching automation, show them automation. When they're comparing vendors, show them why you're different.

The attribution problem
Someone sees your ad, visits your site, browses around... and leaves. No form fill. In most systems, that's a dead end. You can't connect the ad spend to what happens next.
The Warmly solution
We identify visitors at the person level and connect them to ad impressions. When that person eventually books a meeting — whether it's from a chat conversation, an SDR sequence, or coming back later — we can attribute it back to the ad that influenced them.
What Warmly Tracks
Data Point
Details
Accounts that saw ads
Company-level tracking from LinkedIn
Cookied visitors after ad exposure
Person-level even without form fills
Who clicked
Person-level when possible
Site visits after exposure
Attribution window (configurable)
Meetings booked
Conversion events from any source
Pipeline created
Influenced deals
Deals closed
Closed-won attribution
Why this matters:Traditional attribution requires a form fill to connect the dots. Warmly's person-level identification means we can see that "Sarah Chen saw your LinkedIn ad on Tuesday, visited your pricing page on Wednesday, and booked a meeting through chat on Friday." The full journey, without requiring a form.
