LinkedIn vs. Other Channels for B2B Marketing

LinkedIn focus

Professionals actively seek business solutions, services, and expertise. Their mindset is professional and growth-oriented. B2B buyers are active on LinkedIn during work hours.

Targeting power

Filter by job title, seniority, industry, company size, and location. Reach precisely the decision-makers who need your service. No wasted impressions.

Long-term ROI

LinkedIn content continues to perform. A thought leadership article still reaches prospects months after publication. Organic visibility grows cumulatively through consistent posting.

Why LinkedIn is the most important B2B channel for SMEs

The advantages of LinkedIn marketing compared to other channels

Professional context: People are in work mode on LinkedIn. You reach prospects when they are thinking about business solutions, not during entertainment.

Decision makers directly accessible: CEOs and managers are active on LinkedIn. No gatekeepers. You build direct relationships with decision makers.

Combine LinkedIn marketing with Google Ads?
Absolutely. LinkedIn works for upper-funnel awareness and relationship building. Google Ads captures search intent at the bottom of the funnel. Together, they generate 2-3x more leads than separately. Read more about allocating your marketing budget →

Frequently Asked Questions

Does LinkedIn work for every type of B2B company?
LinkedIn works excellently for service providers, consultants, SaaS companies, agencies, and B2B e-commerce. If you sell to businesses and want to reach decision-makers, LinkedIn is the strongest channel.
What does LinkedIn marketing cost at ClickForest?
LinkedIn programs start from €1,200/month (excl. ad budget). This includes strategy, content creation (weekly), campaign management, and monthly reporting. A one-time setup & strategy audit is €850.
How much time will this require from me each week?
With ClickForest, your time investment is limited to 1-2 hours per week for strategic input and content approval. We handle the execution (copy, design, ads, technical setup).
What is a realistic cost per lead?
On average, the cost per qualified lead ranges between €75 and €150 for service companies, €50-100 for SaaS, and €100-250 for high-ticket projects. Quality takes precedence over quantity.
How do you measure success?
We focus on hard metrics: the number of qualified leads, booked appointments, and pipeline value. Vanity metrics such as "views" or "likes" are secondary.
Why work with ClickForest instead of a large agency?
At agencies, you're often just a number assigned to a junior account manager. At ClickForest, you work directly with founder Frederiek Pascal (25+ years of experience). No miscommunication, direct lines of communication, and strategic input at an entrepreneurial level.
Do I need Sales Navigator?
For active outreach, we recommend Sales Navigator (€99/month via LinkedIn). This provides access to advanced search filters to find your exact ideal customers.
When will I see results?
Ads often generate leads within 2-3 weeks. Building organic content and authority takes 3-6 months before it becomes a consistent flywheel. That's why we work with a long-term vision.
