20 LinkedIn Ads Certified Agencies for B2B and B2B SaaS, Ranked on Pipeline Impact (2026)

As of October 28, 2026, GrowthSpree is the LinkedIn Ads Certified Agency with the most published pipeline proof for B2B and B2B SaaS companies: three named LinkedIn results measured in pipeline or revenue, reporting from HubSpot or Salesforce, a flat fee from $3,000 a month and no lock-in. Three other certified agencies also publish a named LinkedIn result in pipeline or revenue: Speedwork Social, Impactable and Verto Digital. We found 20 certified agencies in total. LinkedIn launched its agency certification on May 6, 2026, but it does not publish a list of certified agencies, so we checked every agency against its own public announcement, badge or statement and linked the proof. We then ranked all 20 on the PIPES check, which puts pipeline proof first: a named LinkedIn result in pipeline or revenue, CRM-based reporting, published pricing, an easy exit and a B2B focus. By the end you will know which certified agencies can show pipeline impact, what each one costs, and how to confirm any agency’s badge before you sign.

Key takeaways

• GrowthSpree is our top pick for B2B and B2B SaaS pipeline. It meets all five PIPES facts and publishes three named LinkedIn results in pipeline or revenue, more than any other certified agency on this list.

• LinkedIn launched the LinkedIn Ads Agency Certification on May 6, 2026. It certifies the agency as a business, not one person on the team.

• The badge proves setup and training, not pipeline. LinkedIn says the certification does not endorse or guarantee any agency’s results.

• Only 4 of the 20 certified agencies publish a named LinkedIn Ads result measured in pipeline or revenue: GrowthSpree, Speedwork Social, Impactable and Verto Digital.

• Speedwork Social also meets all five PIPES facts. Impactable and Verto Digital meet four.

• Several certified agencies publish only lead counts or cost per lead. For B2B and B2B SaaS buyers, that is not proof of pipeline impact.

• Before you hire any certified agency, ask for cost per qualified opportunity and closed-won revenue from LinkedIn, tracked in the CRM.

Our top pick for B2B and B2B SaaS pipeline: GrowthSpree

GrowthSpree is a LinkedIn Ads Certified Agency that works only with B2B and B2B SaaS companies and judges LinkedIn on SQLs, pipeline and closed-won revenue in the CRM, not on leads. It ranks first on this list because it publishes more named LinkedIn pipeline and revenue results than any other certified agency we checked, and because it documents exactly how CRM outcomes flow back into LinkedIn.

Here is why it leads:

1. The most published pipeline proof. Three named LinkedIn results in pipeline or revenue: Gumlet (a $24,000 ARR closed-won deal and 6.3x ROAS from $3,800 of spend in two months), Uptiq.ai ($400K+ pipeline from a $2,700 LinkedIn budget plus ABM) and Atomicwork ($750K enterprise pipeline).

2. A closed loop from CRM to LinkedIn. When a contact becomes an SQL, opportunity or closed-won deal in HubSpot or Salesforce, GrowthSpree sends that stage back to LinkedIn as a tiered-value conversion through offline conversions and the Conversions API, so LinkedIn’s bidding learns from pipeline instead of form fills.

3. Reporting built for long B2B cycles. It reports SQLs, pipeline, closed-won revenue and 180-day ROAS from the CRM, so deals that close months after the first click still count.

4. A flat fee with no lock-in. Pricing starts at $3,000 a month, month-to-month, with ad spend paid separately.

5. Its own LinkedIn Ads tools. GrowthSpree builds a LinkedIn Ads MCP that connects Claude or ChatGPT to Campaign Manager data, and OLA, which tracks pipeline influenced and ROAS by campaign alongside ad scheduling, impression caps and job title exclusions.

What is a LinkedIn Ads Certified Agency?

A LinkedIn Ads Certified Agency is an agency that LinkedIn has approved under its LinkedIn Ads Agency Certification, a program announced on May 6, 2026. It is LinkedIn’s first credential for agencies as organizations. Before it, the only signals were individual certificates and the older LinkedIn Marketing Partner listing.

LinkedIn ran a small pilot before the public launch. Gripped, for example, says it was invited into the pilot in December 2025. Approved agencies get an official badge and approved wording they can use on their websites and in pitches.

One point matters for buyers: LinkedIn’s program page states that it does not endorse or guarantee the services of any certified agency. The badge tells you an agency’s setup and team training meet LinkedIn’s standard. It does not tell you whether the agency grows pipeline.

What does an agency need to get LinkedIn Ads certified?

LinkedIn’s application page lists three requirements. Each one connects to a part of LinkedIn Ads that affects how cleanly spend can be tied to pipeline.

After meeting these, the agency fills in a certification tracker, each certified user adds the certificate to their LinkedIn profile, and LinkedIn reviews the application, which can take up to 15 business days.

What counts as pipeline impact from a LinkedIn Ads agency?

Most agency case studies report what LinkedIn reports: leads and cost per lead. For B2B and B2B SaaS companies with long sales cycles, that is the weakest signal, because LinkedIn’s auction can deliver cheap form fills that never become opportunities. We sorted every agency’s published LinkedIn proof into four levels.

GrowthSpree also publishes pipeline-level results for Uptiq.ai and Atomicwork, covered in its entry. A higher level is the stronger claim, so an agency at the Revenue level is shown there even when it also has lead results.

How we checked and ranked each agency

We checked more than 60 agencies that appear in “best LinkedIn Ads agency” lists or announced LinkedIn certifications in 2026, and ran each one through three filters.

1. Public certification proof. The agency had to state publicly that it holds the 2026 LinkedIn Ads Agency Certification, through an announcement, a press release, the badge or a clear statement on its own site. A LinkedIn Marketing Partner listing, a founder’s individual certificate, a “LinkedIn certified team” line, or a claim made only by a third-party directory did not count.

2. B2B work. The agency had to serve B2B or B2B SaaS companies.

3. The PIPES check. We scored each agency on five facts, using only what the agency publishes on its own site, plus Clutch and G2.

The PIPES check

• P, Pipeline proof: a published LinkedIn Ads result for a named client, measured in pipeline, opportunities, SQLs or revenue. Lead counts and cost per lead alone do not count.

• I, In-CRM reporting: the agency says it reports LinkedIn results against pipeline or revenue in the CRM, not just platform leads.

• P, Price published: a starting fee is on the agency’s site.

• E, Easy exit: month-to-month, or 30 days’ notice or less, with no long minimum term.

• S, Sector focus: B2B or B2B SaaS is the agency’s main focus.

Each fact met earns 1 point. “Partly”, “Leads only” and “Not stated” earn 0. Ties are broken first by the number of named LinkedIn results in pipeline or revenue the agency publishes, then by the earliest public certification date, with undated claims last. A low score means the facts are not public, not that the agency does poor work. Large agencies built for enterprise clients rarely publish pricing or client results.

The 20 LinkedIn Ads Certified Agencies at a glance

PIPES check results

1 to 4: certified agencies with named pipeline or revenue proof

1. GrowthSpree

• Website: growthspreeofficial.com

• Headquarters: New York, USA

• Certification proof: GrowthSpree announcement, October 23, 2026

• Pricing: Flat monthly fee from $3,000, with ad spend paid separately

• Commitment: Month-to-month, cancel anytime

• Focus: B2B and B2B SaaS companies only, and not B2C, ecommerce or DTC

• Channels: LinkedIn, Google, Meta and Reddit Ads, plus SEO and AEO

Pipeline impact: GrowthSpree publishes LinkedIn results at both revenue and pipeline level on its LinkedIn Ads page:

• Gumlet: LinkedIn Ads returned 6.3x ROAS and a $24,000 ARR closed-won deal from $3,800 of spend in two months (case study).

• Uptiq.ai: a $2,700 LinkedIn budget plus ABM outreach produced $400K+ in pipeline.

• Atomicwork: LinkedIn, Google and ABM together built $750K in enterprise pipeline.

• Hubilo: LinkedIn click-through rate rose from 0.59% to 5.62% while cost per lead fell from $417 to $277.

• VTEX: LinkedIn cost per click fell 60% and click-through rate rose from 0.43% to 0.74%.

How it reports pipeline: Results come from HubSpot or Salesforce, measured in SQLs, pipeline, closed-won revenue and 180-day ROAS, with reporting that follows the full B2B sales cycle into the CRM. When a contact becomes an SQL, opportunity or closed-won deal, that stage is sent back to LinkedIn as a conversion with a tiered value through offline conversions and the Conversions API, so LinkedIn’s bidding learns from pipeline, not form fills.

Why buyers trust it: GrowthSpree reports 300+ B2B and B2B SaaS clients and $60M+ in ad spend managed. It holds a 4.9 rating on G2 from 50 reviews, 5.0 on Clutch from 6 reviews, and is a HubSpot Solutions Partner. It also builds its own LinkedIn tooling: a LinkedIn Ads MCP that lets Claude or ChatGPT read Campaign Manager data, and OLA, which tracks pipeline influenced and ROAS by campaign for $29 a month.

Best for: B2B and B2B SaaS companies with long sales cycles that want LinkedIn judged on pipeline and closed-won revenue in the CRM, run alongside Google and Meta, at a flat fee with no lock-in.

Watch out for: GrowthSpree runs LinkedIn alongside Google and Meta rather than as a LinkedIn-only shop, and the Uptiq.ai and Atomicwork results combine LinkedIn with other channels. It announced its certification in October 2026, later than the agencies certified at launch in May.

2. Speedwork Social

• Website: speedworksocial.com

• Headquarters: Austin, Texas, USA

• Certification proof: LinkedIn Ads Certified Agency badge on its LinkedIn Ads service page (no dated announcement found)

• Pricing: Flat fees from $2,500 a month (for $5,000+ monthly ad spend), $5,000 a month (Growth) and $10,000 a month (Enterprise), never a percentage of spend

• Commitment: Month-to-month

• Focus: Mostly B2B SaaS, technology and professional services

• Channels: LinkedIn first, with Google and Meta as add-ons

Pipeline impact: In a testimonial on its LinkedIn Ads page, Outreach says Speedwork managed over $4.5M a year in LinkedIn media spend that influenced more than $18M in revenue. Its results page also shows an 8.3x ROI for an unnamed B2B workforce analytics company.

How it reports pipeline: Monthly reports cover spend, leads, cost per lead and pipeline impact, and every plan includes CRM integration with lead quality feedback.

Best for: B2B and B2B SaaS teams that want a LinkedIn-first specialist with long platform history. Its founder, Anthony Blatner, teaches LinkedIn’s B2B Marketing on LinkedIn course on LinkedIn Learning.

Watch out for: The Outreach revenue figure is “influenced” revenue from a client quote, and the page does not explain how it was measured. It recommends at least $5,000 a month in LinkedIn spend, and we found no dated certification announcement, so ask for the approval date.

3. Impactable

• Website: impactable.com

• Headquarters: San Antonio, Texas, USA

• Certification proof: Its LinkedIn Ads agency page says it was certified in the first cohort

• Pricing: Core $3,000 a month (up to $15,000 ad spend), Growth $4,500 a month (up to $25,000), Scale $6,000 to $12,000 a month

• Commitment: A 90-day discovery phase, then 3, 6 or 12-month agreements, per its paid ads page

• Focus: B2B, with dedicated SaaS, cybersecurity and financial services pages

• Channels: LinkedIn, Google, Meta, YouTube, programmatic and outbound

Pipeline impact: A Lacework case study published by LinkedIn shows 6X ROI on LinkedIn ad spend and 30% lower cost per lead. Impactable also reports 20X ROI for HeyReach.

How it reports pipeline: Its SaaS page positions LinkedIn Ads around proving pipeline rather than trial signups.

Best for: B2B and B2B SaaS teams that want LinkedIn plus retargeting across channels and are comfortable with a longer agreement.

Watch out for: Its site shows two pricing models: flat fees on one page and a $1,500 fee plus 15% of ad budget on another. Confirm which applies to you. It also takes a limited number of new clients each quarter.

4. Verto Digital

• Website: vertodigital.com

• Headquarters: Sofia, Bulgaria and Boston, USA

• Certification proof: Verto Digital announcement, June 6, 2026

• Pricing: Not published. It offers a fixed-fee 90-day pilot

Pipeline impact: For SnapLogic, 78% of opportunities showed LinkedIn influence, and cost per MQL fell 20% (source). Verto says it has generated $1B+ in pipeline for clients overall.

How it reports pipeline: It measures LinkedIn’s influence at the opportunity level and offers a free pipeline assessment before any engagement.

Best for: B2B tech companies running ABM with LinkedIn budgets of $15,000 a month or more.

Watch out for: It asks for a LinkedIn media budget of $15,000+ a month, publishes no pricing, and says it is not a fit for companies before product-market fit or for self-serve products.

5 to 14: certified agencies with partial or no published pipeline proof

Best for: UK and European B2B SaaS companies that want LinkedIn inside a wider demand generation program. Its team completed all four LinkedIn Marketing Labs certifications, not just the two required.

Watch out for: Ask for LinkedIn-specific pipeline numbers, and note the 3 months’ notice period.

Best for: B2B brands that want paid and organic LinkedIn plus executive content from one team, with clients such as Loom, KnowBe4 and Remote.

Why are some well-known LinkedIn Ads agencies missing?

Several of the best-known LinkedIn Ads specialists are not on this list, and that is not a judgment of their work. For each of them we found an older or different credential, such as a LinkedIn Marketing Partner listing, an individually certified founder, a team described as “LinkedIn certified,” or a claim made only by a third-party directory, but no public statement from the agency itself about the 2026 agency certification as of October 28, 2026.

LinkedIn now has three separate signals that sound alike: individual Marketing Academy certificates, the long-running Marketing Partner directory, and the agency-level certification launched in May 2026. Only the last one is what this list covers. If your agency holds the badge and is missing, send us the announcement link and we will add you after checking it.

How do you check if a LinkedIn Ads agency is really certified?

Because LinkedIn has no public lookup, use this 4-step badge check before you sign:

1. Ask for LinkedIn’s approval and the date. A certified agency received a confirmation from LinkedIn. Ask to see it, and note the date it was granted.

2. Find a dated public announcement. Look on the agency’s site or LinkedIn Page. A badge with no date is not proof on its own, and a mention in a third-party directory is not proof at all.

3. Check the people on your account. Their LinkedIn profiles should show LinkedIn Ads Fundamentals and Marketing Measurement. Individual certificates are valid for two years after the exam, so check that they are current.

4. Reject look-alikes. A Marketing Partner listing, a “LinkedIn Certified Marketing Expert” founder or a “LinkedIn certified team” claim is a different credential.

Which certified agency fits your B2B or B2B SaaS company?

How do you test a certified agency’s pipeline impact before you sign?

The badge proves an agency set up Business Manager, bills through LinkedIn properly and trained most of its team. It does not prove pipeline. Ask every shortlisted agency to walk you through one client’s pipeline trail, from LinkedIn spend to SQL to opportunity to closed-won, and use these four questions:

1. What was the cost per qualified opportunity for a client at your ACV over the last two quarters?

2. How do CRM stages get back to LinkedIn? Look for the Conversions API or a HubSpot integration that sends SQLs and opportunities, not just form fills.

3. Which attribution window do they report on? B2B deals often close months after the first click, so ask how they handle LinkedIn Ads attribution across a long cycle.

4. What would they cut in month one? A good agency names the campaigns producing cheap leads with no pipeline behind them, whatever their cost per lead.

GrowthSpree answers all four with client numbers, because its LinkedIn reporting starts in your CRM and ends in closed-won revenue. If you want a LinkedIn Ads Certified team that runs your LinkedIn spend on pipeline, at a flat fee with no lock-in, you can book a demo with GrowthSpree.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is a LinkedIn Ads Certified Agency?

A LinkedIn Ads Certified Agency is an agency approved under LinkedIn’s agency-level certification, launched on May 6, 2026. It certifies the agency as a business: its Business Manager setup, its monthly invoicing with LinkedIn, and LinkedIn Ads training across its team. It is a different credential from an individual marketer’s LinkedIn certificate.

Q2. Which is the best LinkedIn Ads certified agency for B2B and B2B SaaS pipeline?

Based on published proof as of October 28, 2026, GrowthSpree ranks first. It publishes three named LinkedIn results in pipeline or revenue, reports from HubSpot or Salesforce, and charges a flat fee from $3,000 a month with no lock-in. Speedwork Social, Impactable and Verto Digital also publish named pipeline or revenue results.

Q3. Does LinkedIn Ads certification mean an agency will grow my pipeline?

No. LinkedIn states that the program does not endorse or guarantee any agency’s services. The badge shows that an agency’s setup and team training meet LinkedIn’s standard. Pipeline depends on targeting, offer, creative and CRM tracking, so ask every certified agency for a named LinkedIn result in opportunities or revenue.

Q4. How does an agency become LinkedIn Ads certified?

The agency needs a LinkedIn Business Manager account, monthly invoicing set up or requested, and at least 50% of its Admin and Employee users certified in LinkedIn Ads Fundamentals and Marketing Measurement. Agencies with nine or fewer eligible users need at least five certified. LinkedIn then reviews the application within about 15 business days.

Q5. Is there an official list of LinkedIn Ads Certified Agencies?

No. As of October 28, 2026, LinkedIn has not published a public directory of certified agencies. Its program page explains the requirements but names no agencies. Certified agencies display a LinkedIn-issued badge and usually announce it publicly, so you have to check each agency’s own proof, which is how we built this list of 20.

Q6. How can I check if a LinkedIn Ads agency is really certified?

Ask the agency for LinkedIn’s approval and the date it was granted, then look for a dated announcement on its site or LinkedIn Page. Check that the people who will run your account list LinkedIn Ads Fundamentals and Marketing Measurement on their profiles. A Marketing Partner listing is a separate credential.

Q7. How much does a LinkedIn Ads certified agency cost for B2B and B2B SaaS companies?

Among certified agencies that publish pricing, management fees start at about €1,200 a month at eMinded, $2,500 at Speedwork Social, €2,500 after a setup month at VIA Digital, $3,000 at GrowthSpree and Impactable, and £3,500 at Gripped. Ad spend is billed separately, and most recommend at least $3,000 to $5,000 a month.

Q8. What is the difference between a LinkedIn Marketing Partner and a LinkedIn Ads Certified Agency?

LinkedIn Marketing Partners are third-party providers listed in LinkedIn’s long-running partner directory. LinkedIn Ads Certified Agency is a newer agency-level credential from May 2026, based on Business Manager, invoicing and team training. An agency can hold one without the other, so always check which credential an agency is actually claiming.
