Most B2B companies waste 15-30% of their LinkedIn Ads budget on off-hours impressions, over-served accounts, and hidden job titles. Use our calculator to see your waste, compare against industry benchmarks, and get spend recommendations for your stage.
These three waste sources exist in every LinkedIn account. Most marketers don't know they exist because LinkedIn doesn't surface them.
LinkedIn has no dayparting. Your ads run 24/7 including 2am Saturday. B2B prospects don't buy on weekends. That's ~20% of your budget serving impressions to people scrolling in bed. On $50K/month, that's $10,000 wasted.
~$10K/mo on a $50K budgetLinkedIn's algorithm over-serves a small subset of your target accounts. 80% of impressions go to 20% of companies. Your most valuable targets get zero exposure while a few accounts see your ad hundreds of times.
~$6.5K/mo on a $50K budgetWhen you target "VP of Marketing," LinkedIn also shows your ads to "Marketing Coordinator" via hidden title bundling called Super Titles. You're paying for clicks from people who can't buy.
~$5K/mo on a $50K budgetSelect your monthly LinkedIn spend below. We'll show you the estimated waste across all three categories and what you could recover with OLA.

Compare your LinkedIn Ads performance against industry averages. These benchmarks cover CPC, CPL, and CTR across five major B2B verticals — but remember, OLA measures what actually matters: revenue and ROAS.
B2B SaaS: $8-14. Fintech: $10-18. Healthcare: $12-22. HR Tech: $7-12. Cyber: $14-24. Your CPC depends on targeting specificity and competition.
B2B SaaS: $120-180. Fintech: $150-250. Healthcare: $180-300. But CPL is a vanity metric — OLA tracks cost per closed deal instead.
Anything above 0.5% is strong for LinkedIn. Below 0.3% means your creative or targeting needs work. OLA doesn't fix creative — but it fixes everything else.
Forget CPL. Track ROAS — revenue generated per dollar spent. OLA connects LinkedIn to your CRM to calculate this. Most OLA users see 3-5x ROAS.
