Multi-Channel Paid Media

The B2B Framework

Combine Google intent + LinkedIn targeting for $50-100 CPL

JJM

The Single-Channel Trap

Most B2B tech companies run LinkedIn ads, get clicks, then wonder why nobody books a demo. The problem isn't the platform. LinkedIn captures attention. But attention isn't intent. Google captures intent. You need both.

The Single-Channel Trap

Problem

LinkedIn ads get clicks but zero conversions

Solution

Add Google for intent + retargeting for nurture

JJM

Single Channel

  • Clicks but no conversions
  • No retargeting loop
  • Generic messaging
  • Wasted ad spend

Multi-Channel

  • Intent + targeting combined
  • Progressive retargeting
  • Vertical-specific messaging
  • Optimized spend allocation

The Three-Vertical Strategy

Instead of targeting everyone, focus on three specific industry verticals where your solution provides the most value. For each vertical, you need dedicated messaging, landing pages, lead magnets, and email sequences.

1

Reduces Waste

Stop spending on poor-fit prospects who will never convert

2

Increases Conversions

Relevant messaging resonates with specific pain points

3

Better Retargeting

Granular audiences enable personalized follow-up

The Lead Magnet Engine

eBooks aren't just lead capture tools. They're retargeting triggers. Create vertical-specific guides plus individual use case downloads. Track what someone downloads to personalize their retargeting journey.

Retargeting Tiers

Not all retargeting is equal. Structure it in tiers based on engagement level. The key is progressive commitment - don't ask for the meeting until they've shown buying signals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What budget do I need to start multi-channel B2B paid media?+
We recommend a minimum of $3,000-5,000/month to effectively run a multi-channel strategy. This allows for proper budget split between Google Ads (50%), LinkedIn Ads (40%), and a testing reserve (10%). Smaller budgets can work but may limit your ability to test multiple verticals simultaneously.
How long before I see results from this framework?+
Most B2B campaigns need 2-4 weeks to gather enough data for optimization. You'll start seeing leads in week 1, but the real value comes from optimizing based on data. By week 4, you should have clear signals on which vertical is performing best and can shift budget accordingly.
Should I use Google Ads or LinkedIn Ads first?+
Start with both simultaneously. Google captures high-intent searches (people actively looking for solutions), while LinkedIn reaches ideal customers who aren't searching yet. The combination is what makes this framework effective - they serve different parts of the funnel.
What's a good cost per lead target for B2B?+
For B2B tech companies, $50-100 per qualified lead is a reasonable target with this framework. Your actual CPL depends on your industry, deal size, and competition. If your average deal is $50K+, even $200 CPL can be highly profitable.
