But why is LinkedIn the best at generating converting B2B leads?
👉Insight #1 - LinkedIn Is a B2B Platform
LinkedIn has always been professional user base. Recently businesses have invested heavily in their LinkedIn presence. This drives adoption from employees, clients and suppliers. A large user base of businesses means targeted B2B marketing can work.
👉Insight #2 - Facebook Users Are Engaged Consumers
Facebook advertising revenue has seen massive growth in the last 3 years. Fuelled by highly engaged consumers spending time on the platform. But business to business marketing can struggle unless the targeting is spot on. Facebook on the whole is a great B2C platform but needs a tailored campaign to reach other business owners.
👉Insight #3 - LinkedIn Content Engagement All Time High
LinkedIn content engagement is now at an all time high. More content is being posted than ever before. More engagement with this content is happening more than ever before. So with high business user adoption and engagement it makes sense why LinkedIn could convert leads better then other social media platforms.
