In October, LinkedIn announced that it will be adding Sponsored Content to the available ad units that can be tracked by Google Campaign Manager. This integration gives Digital Marketers the power to track impressions and interactions for the following Sponsored Content:
- Video
- Carousel
- Lead-Gen Forms
- Text
- “Spotlight” Dynamic Ads
The measurement integration with Google Campaign Manager allows Digital Marketers to see LinkedIn ad performance alongside all of their paid ad spend. In addition, it helps track a prospect’s full journey across websites, ads and devices with their business on LinkedIn before converting.
To enable LinkedIn Sponsored Content tracking via Google Campaign Manager, click the “Manage Tracking” icon after creating your Sponsored Content campaign as a “Draft’.
Then, add both the impressions and clicks tags, and hit “Save”.
