The best LinkedIn Ads agencies for B2B share one discipline: they treat LinkedIn as the most expensive precision channel a company runs, and they earn their fee by turning that spend into pipeline rather than a feed of cheap clicks. LinkedIn reaches decision-makers by role, company, and seniority in a way no other platform matches, but it also charges a premium for that reach, so the agency managing it decides whether the budget produces qualified pipeline or an expensive lesson. This guide profiles 11 LinkedIn Ads agencies, with the account structure each runs, the results they can prove, the pricing model they use, and the type of B2B company each is built for.
We wrote this for founders, demand generation leads, and marketing teams at B2B companies who are considering LinkedIn Ads, or already spending on the platform and unsure their agency is buying pipeline instead of impressions. Whether you need a LinkedIn-only specialist, a paid-media team that runs LinkedIn alongside search, or a full-funnel demand-gen partner, the agencies below cover what B2B companies actually hire for in 2026.

How we selected these LinkedIn Ads agencies
Any list of the best LinkedIn Ads agencies is only as trustworthy as its criteria, so here is how this one was built.
Verified results. Every agency here has at least one named client result published on its own site or a reputable source. LinkedIn marketing is full of round-number claims, so where a figure could not be independently confirmed, it is attributed to the agency rather than stated as fact, and older or short-window numbers are flagged.
LinkedIn specialization, not a side service. LinkedIn Ads punishes generalists. Its auction, its Lead Gen Forms, and its Conversion API behave differently from Google or Meta, so agencies that run LinkedIn accounts every day were weighted over shops that treat it as an occasional add-on.
Pipeline and cost per lead, not impressions. LinkedIn is expensive enough that vanity metrics get costly fast. The strongest agencies report on cost per lead, sales-qualified opportunities, and pipeline, and each profile notes which think that way.
Honest limitations. Each profile states who the agency is not built for, and whether it is a true LinkedIn Ads specialist, a paid-media team, a demand-gen strategy firm, or an outreach service that touches paid.
Fit to the buyer. A five-person startup testing its first LinkedIn campaign and an enterprise running named-account ABM need different partners. The decision framework near the end maps common situations to names.
What a LinkedIn Ads agency actually does
Before comparing names, it helps to be precise about the work, because LinkedIn Ads is a distinct craft. A LinkedIn Ads agency plans and runs paid campaigns on LinkedIn with the goal of qualified leads and pipeline, and the good ones treat the whole path, from first impression in front of a buying committee to a booked demo or sales-qualified opportunity, as their responsibility.
Audience targeting and account structure. LinkedIn's advantage is precision: targeting by job title, seniority, function, company, industry, and account lists. A strong agency builds that targeting into a clean account structure, separating cold prospecting from warm retargeting, and layering matched-account lists for ABM. Loose targeting is where most LinkedIn budgets leak.
Ad formats matched to intent. Sponsored content, message and conversation ads, document and thought-leader ads, and text ads each fit a different stage. A capable agency maps formats to the funnel, using single-image and document ads to reach cold audiences and Lead Gen Forms or conversation ads to convert warm ones.
Retargeting as the engine. Cold LinkedIn traffic rarely converts on the first touch, so the agencies that perform build a retargeting layer against video viewers, page visitors, and engaged accounts, then concentrate conversion budget there. A prospecting-only program burns money; a prospecting-plus-retargeting system compounds.
Conversion tracking and the LinkedIn Conversion API. LinkedIn's Insight Tag and its Conversion API let an agency feed real conversions and CRM outcomes back to the platform so bidding optimizes toward pipeline, not form fills. With signal loss tightening across every channel, this measurement work is now a core part of the job, not an afterthought.
Lead quality and pipeline reporting. Reaching the right title is only half the work. The best agencies filter for lead quality, feed closed-won data back, and report on cost per qualified lead, sales-qualified opportunities, and pipeline rather than raw form completions.
The 2026 LinkedIn Ads market
Three shifts are reshaping how B2B companies buy LinkedIn Ads this year, and each changes what a good agency looks like.
Costs are high and still climbing. Industry benchmark data for 2026 puts the cross-industry LinkedIn cost per click around $6.50, up roughly 8% year over year, with cost per click running from about $4 in education to $15 or more in financial services. Cross-industry cost per lead sits near $94, and B2B SaaS commonly pays $103 to $160 per lead. At those prices, a careless account wastes real money, which is exactly why a specialist who tightens targeting and structure earns the fee.
Measurement has become the edge. LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms convert at roughly 6% on average in 2026, close to five times the rate of off-platform landing pages, because they autofill from the profile. Paired with the Conversion API feeding closed deals back to the platform, this lets bidding optimize to pipeline rather than clicks. The agencies that win are the ones with the measurement discipline to use both, not just the ones who can launch a campaign.
LinkedIn is a committee and ABM channel. B2B purchases now involve large buying committees across long cycles, and LinkedIn is the one platform that can reach every role on the committee by name and company. That has pushed the platform toward account-based targeting, retargeting, and thought-leader formats, and rewards agencies that design for multi-stakeholder buying rather than single-lead capture. It also explains why LinkedIn works best run alongside search that captures the demand it creates.
With the craft and the market defined, here are the eleven agencies, starting with the pick for LinkedIn Ads run alongside search.
MarketinGO 1. MarketinGO: best for LinkedIn Ads run alongside search for B2B
Founded: 2020 · HQ: remote, serving the US and Europe · Team: ~10 specialists · Website: marketingo.com
MarketinGO is a paid media agency for US and European B2B companies that treats LinkedIn as one channel in a system rather than a silo. Because LinkedIn reaches the buying committee at a premium price, MarketinGO runs it next to Google and Microsoft search, so the demand LinkedIn creates gets captured cheaply when buyers start searching, and the whole program is measured on pipeline. Senior operators sit on every account, and clients describe going live fast, often within about a week.
What they do. LinkedIn Ads for precise targeting of roles and companies, paired with Google Ads and Microsoft Ads for high-intent capture and Meta where it fits, backed by conversion tracking, the LinkedIn Conversion API, and landing page work that ties spend to leads and pipeline. MarketinGO structures LinkedIn into cold prospecting and warm retargeting, uses Lead Gen Forms and document ads to reach committees, and feeds CRM outcomes back so bidding optimizes to qualified pipeline. Because the team is paid media only, every account sits with an experienced buyer rather than being spread thin.
Verifiable results. For an AI compliance SaaS company, a lean Google Ads and LinkedIn Ads launch grew demo requests 66%, reaching 10 qualified demos per month with no increase in budget. For a regulatory-compliance company, MarketinGO cut cost per lead 64%, from $112 to $40.25, and added 557 high-value leads while spending less. William Turcan, founder and CEO of SmartGlass Technologies, reports cost-effective leads at $35 to $45 each and 1,000 to 1,200 leads per month, and praises the fast go-live and US-market alignment. Sunita Verma, president of Sync Resource, cites outstanding lead quality and a forecastable pipeline.
Ideal fit. B2B and high-ticket service companies, from SaaS to professional services, that want LinkedIn Ads run by senior operators alongside search, measured on cost per lead and pipeline, with fast execution and fluency in the US market. Founders selling into the US from Europe get local-grade paid media without a local office.
Where it stops. MarketinGO is paid media only. Companies that want automated LinkedIn outreach and connection requests, SEO, content marketing, or a fractional CMO handled in-house should pair MarketinGO with a specialist for those. It is a paid media partner that runs LinkedIn as part of a funnel, not an outreach tool or a full-service shop, and that focus is the point.
Certifications: Google Partner and Meta Business Partner. Pricing. A managed monthly engagement, shared transparently on a discovery call, matched to your pipeline goals.
B2Linked 2. B2Linked: best for a LinkedIn-exclusive performance specialist
Founded: 2014 · HQ: Lehi, UT (remote) · Team: ~20 · Website: b2linked.com
B2Linked is the LinkedIn-only agency the rest of the industry cites, founded by AJ Wilcox and built around obsessive account structure and bid and budget efficiency on the one platform it serves.
What they do. LinkedIn Ads and nothing else: audience research, granular account structure, rapid offer and format testing, and manual bid and budget management aimed at the lowest viable cost per lead. The single-platform focus means the team knows LinkedIn's auction and quirks deeply.
Verifiable results. For Plannuh, B2Linked reports permanently lowering cost per lead 66% to a range of $30 to $40 through bid and budget management and offer testing. For Qualio, it reports a 52% pipeline increase and 550% return on ad spend, which led the client to scale budget 60%. Across a five-year partnership, it scaled Hired into one of LinkedIn's largest global advertisers while cutting cost per qualified applicant 87%.
Ideal fit. B2B companies that want a pure LinkedIn Ads specialist focused relentlessly on account structure and cost per lead, and that have search and the rest of the funnel handled elsewhere.
Where it stops. Companies wanting a single partner to also run Google, Microsoft, or Meta, since B2Linked deliberately does only LinkedIn. It is a channel specialist, not a full-funnel paid-media team.
Certifications: LinkedIn Marketing Partner. Pricing. Percentage-of-spend or flat-fee models; effective minimums suit established budgets.
Impactable 3. Impactable: best for retargeting-led LinkedIn at scale
Founded: ~2016 · HQ: Chicago, IL (distributed) · Team: ~50 · Website: impactable.marketing
Impactable is a LinkedIn-centric B2B agency led by Justin Rowe, known for a retargeting-first philosophy that concentrates budget on warming and converting engaged audiences rather than spraying cold reach.
What they do. LinkedIn Ads built around a multi-stage funnel, cold awareness content, then heavy retargeting of video viewers and engaged accounts, supported by its own DemandSense signal platform and paid social where it extends the program. The model runs efficiently at both lower and larger budgets.
Verifiable results. For Altium, Impactable reports tripling conversions within 60 days while holding ad spend flat at about $20,000 per month. For an Amazon-services client, it reports growing from 6 leads in month one, spent building a retargeting audience, to 55 leads in month two once the retargeting layer and a lead magnet were live.
Ideal fit. B2B companies that believe in retargeting and want a high-volume LinkedIn specialist that can run efficiently, including brands with mid-size budgets that need every dollar working.
Where it stops. Buyers wanting deep Google or Microsoft search management in the same shop, or a small test with no content to retarget against. The engine needs top-of-funnel activity to feed it.
Certifications: LinkedIn Marketing Partner. Pricing. Published tiers starting at accessible monthly retainers, lower than most specialists.
Powered by Search 4. Powered by Search: best for LinkedIn with a pipeline guarantee
Founded: ~2009 · HQ: Toronto, Canada · Team: ~30 · Website: poweredbysearch.com
Powered by Search is a paid-media and demand-gen agency for B2B SaaS with LinkedIn Ads as a named strength and a positioning built around sales-ready opportunities on a guarantee.
What they do. Paid advertising led by LinkedIn Ads and Google, plus Microsoft, SEO, ABM, and HubSpot RevOps, aimed at producing sales-ready opportunities rather than raw leads. LinkedIn lead-gen campaigns and account targeting sit at the center of the B2B work.
Verifiable results. For PointClickCare, Powered by Search reports 2,063 leads at roughly $10 cost per lead through LinkedIn lead-gen ads. For iWave, it reports 251% lead-volume growth and triple the MQLs across Google and LinkedIn, alongside 278% year-over-year paid-media revenue growth.
Ideal fit. Post-product-market-fit SaaS and B2B companies that want LinkedIn-led paid media inside a broader demand program with a pipeline guarantee.
Where it stops. Early or pre-product-market-fit startups, one-off projects, and buyers wanting a bare-bones single-campaign test.
Certifications: Meta Business Partner, Google Partner, Bing accredited. Pricing. Not public; effective minimums reported in the mid five figures per month.
Directive 5. Directive: best for LinkedIn inside full-funnel customer generation
Founded: 2014 · HQ: Irvine, CA · Team: ~200 · Website: directiveconsulting.com
Directive is a full-service B2B customer-generation agency whose paid-social practice runs LinkedIn as part of an attribution-led program tied to pipeline, not leads.

Verifiable results. For dbt Labs, Directive reports beating a signup goal by 124% at 55% under target cost per signup. For WordPress VIP, it reports 607% more enterprise opportunities, and for OneSpan, 300% more sales-qualified leads in a target market.
Ideal fit. Mid-market to enterprise SaaS and tech that want LinkedIn run inside a full-funnel, attribution-led demand program rather than as a standalone channel.
Where it stops. Small budgets and buyers wanting a lean, LinkedIn-only team. Directive is full-service, not a channel specialist.
Certifications: Not directory-verified; confirm partner status before relying on it. Pricing. Not public; enterprise-leaning.
KlientBoost 6. KlientBoost: best for LinkedIn Ads paired with landing pages
Founded: 2015 · HQ: Costa Mesa, CA · Team: ~95 · Website: klientboost.com

What they do. LinkedIn Ads alongside Google, Meta, and Microsoft, with in-house landing pages, offline-conversion and CRM integration, and high-volume creative and offer testing across a large client base.
Verifiable results. For cybersecurity SaaS Alert Logic, KlientBoost reports 32% lower cost per MQL, 39% lower cost per conversion, and 62% more lead volume. For Base CRM, it reports cost per lead roughly halved.
Ideal fit. B2B companies that want LinkedIn ads and conversion pages from one team and value fast, high-volume testing tied to CRM outcomes.
Where it stops. Tiny budgets, slow brand-led approaches, and enterprise ABM-only mandates. The model is high-volume testing, not white-glove named-account work.
Certifications: Google Premier Partner, Microsoft Advertising Partner, Meta Business Partner. Pricing. Publishes a pricing page; management commonly cited from a few thousand per month.
Upgrow 7. Upgrow: best for account-targeted native LinkedIn ads
Founded: ~2019 · HQ: San Francisco, CA · Team: ~15 · Website: upgrow.io
Upgrow is a performance agency with a focused LinkedIn Ads practice built around native creative and tight account targeting, positioned to book demos and meetings rather than fill a lead form with the wrong titles.

For MobyCap, it reports 1,733% more conversions, 800% more qualified leads, and 82% lower cost per conversion over 11 months.
Ideal fit. B2B companies that want a senior, hands-on LinkedIn Ads team focused on account targeting and native creative, paired with search.
Where it stops. Enterprises needing a large multi-market ABM operation, and buyers wanting a broad full-service marketing team. Upgrow is a focused performance shop.
Certifications: LinkedIn Marketing Partner. Pricing. Not public; mid-market retainers.

Founded: 2002 · HQ: Oxfordshire, UK (global offices) · Team: ~500 · Website: tmpb2b.com
The Marketing Practice is a global B2B agency built for enterprise account-based marketing, where LinkedIn is one instrument in a coordinated named-account program spanning media, content, and sales activation.

Verifiable results. For O2 Business, The Marketing Practice reports generating £42m of pipeline against a £28m goal, retaining all key accounts, winning two new logos worth over £5m in-year, and adding 583 C-level contacts to the CRM. The campaign won at The Drum Awards for B2B.
Ideal fit. Enterprises running named-account ABM at scale that need LinkedIn coordinated with content, media, and sales rather than run as a standalone channel.
Where it stops. SMBs, startups, and anyone wanting a simple LinkedIn Ads retainer. This is a large, strategic ABM operation with enterprise pricing to match.
Certifications: Full-service; enterprise ABM specialist. Pricing. Not public; enterprise engagements.
Refine Labs 9. Refine Labs: best for demand-generation strategy
Founded: 2019 · HQ: Boston, MA · Team: ~50 · Website: refinelabs.com
Refine Labs is a demand-generation strategy and measurement firm that uses LinkedIn and paid social to create demand, worth including as the strategy contrast to a hands-on media hire. Note that founder Chris Walker exited in 2025.
What they do. Demand-creation strategy, dark-social and content amplification, and paid social support weighted to LinkedIn, measured through its own pipeline framework rather than day-to-day account management.
Verifiable results. For Splash, Refine Labs reports 83% more hand-raisers and 80% more of its core pipeline metric. For Clari, it reports 67% lower ad-driven customer acquisition cost and 36% lower cost per sales-qualified opportunity.
Ideal fit. Mid-market and enterprise B2B ready to invest in a demand-creation philosophy on LinkedIn, with measurement to match, rather than pure lead capture.
Where it stops. Anyone wanting hands-on LinkedIn campaign execution and daily optimization. This is strategy and measurement first.
Certifications: Not applicable. Pricing. Not public; premium retainers.

Founded: ~2015 · HQ: Leeds and London, UK · Team: ~20 · Website: digitallitmus.com

Cleverly 11. Cleverly: best for high-volume, done-for-you outreach on a budget
Founded: 2018 · HQ: Los Angeles, CA · Team: ~50 · Website: cleverly.co
Cleverly is a high-volume LinkedIn lead-generation service best known for done-for-you outreach and connection campaigns, with LinkedIn Ads offered as an add-on. It belongs here as the budget, high-throughput option, with an honest caveat about what it is.
What they do. Primarily LinkedIn outreach: automated connection requests and message sequences at scale, plus a LinkedIn Ads management service, aimed at SMBs and agencies that want appointments and leads without building the function in-house.
Verifiable results. Cleverly reports serving 10,000-plus clients and generating 224,700-plus B2B leads and $312m in client pipeline in aggregate, with one IT client cited at 294 leads and a 41% reply rate. These are self-reported program totals rather than a single verified LinkedIn Ads case, and public reviews note that outcomes vary widely by client.
Ideal fit. SMBs and early-stage teams that want inexpensive, high-volume LinkedIn lead generation done for them, and that understand the core service is outreach rather than paid media.
Where it stops. Companies that need paid LinkedIn Ads run to a pipeline standard, enterprise ABM, or verified per-account results. This is a volume outreach service, not a pipeline-attribution ads shop.
Certifications: Outreach specialist; not a certified ad-channel partner. Pricing. Public, low monthly plans starting in the few hundreds per month.

What LinkedIn Ads agencies charge
Pricing for LinkedIn Ads agencies is often opaque, so here is the shape of the market. Management fees commonly run from about $2,000 to $10,000 per month for a focused LinkedIn or paid-media engagement, with enterprise ABM and full-service demand-gen models reaching $20,000 or more, all separate from your ad spend. Outreach-led services sit far lower, from a few hundred per month, because the work is automation rather than media management. Agencies bill as a flat retainer, a percentage of spend, or a performance-based fee.
Two points matter when you compare. First, LinkedIn carries a real minimum budget to work, so most specialists expect ad spend starting around $5,000 per month before management makes sense; below that, the platform rarely gathers enough data to optimize. Second, a percentage-of-spend model can misalign incentives, since the agency earns more as you spend more, whether or not the extra budget drives pipeline, so a flat fee or a pipeline-linked model is cleaner. Judge the agency on the cost per qualified lead and pipeline it can defensibly move, not the invoice alone.
Questions to ask before you sign
A short, sharp set of questions reveals more than any pitch. Ask a prospective LinkedIn Ads agency: who specifically manages my account, and how senior are they? How do you structure campaigns to separate cold prospecting from retargeting, and how do you build matched-account lists for ABM? Do you set up the LinkedIn Conversion API and feed CRM and closed-won data back so bidding optimizes to pipeline? How do you use Lead Gen Forms versus landing pages, and how do you filter for lead quality rather than volume? Can I see two B2B case studies in my category with verifiable cost per lead and pipeline numbers, and speak to those clients? Clear answers separate an agency that buys pipeline from one that buys clicks.
Whichever agency you shortlist, the honest first step is knowing what LinkedIn has to deliver before you commit budget to it. A free ad audit will show where your current spend leaks, and the lead generation ROI calculator will tell you what a qualified lead can cost before the channel stops paying for itself. Our LinkedIn Ads service page covers how we run the channel alongside search for high-ticket B2B companies, and the SaaS and AI case study shows what 66% demo-request growth looked like on a lean Google and LinkedIn setup with no budget increase.
