How to Create LinkedIn Ads in GoHighLevel

Running LinkedIn campaigns directly inside GoHighLevel lets you streamline reporting, but you may still manage tasks in ClickUp or other tools. This guide walks you step by step through connecting accounts, creating campaigns, and managing LinkedIn ads from the GoHighLevel Ad Manager using the exact options available in the platform.

Before you begin, make sure you have an active LinkedIn Ads account with billing set up, and that you are an admin on the LinkedIn pages and ad accounts you plan to use.

Understanding the GoHighLevel LinkedIn Ads Integration

The LinkedIn integration in GoHighLevel allows you to:

  • Connect one or more LinkedIn ad accounts.
  • Create and manage campaigns, ad sets, and ads.
  • View performance data inside the Ad Manager.
  • Sync lead data back to your CRM pipeline.

All campaign management happens inside the GoHighLevel Ad Manager while billing and fundamental account settings remain inside LinkedIn Campaign Manager.

How to Connect LinkedIn to GoHighLevel

To use LinkedIn ads in GoHighLevel, you must first authorize your LinkedIn account and select the ad accounts you want to manage.

Step 1: Open the GoHighLevel Ad Manager

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account as an admin or user with ad permissions.
  2. In the left navigation, open the Marketing or Ads section, then click Ad Manager.
  3. Confirm that the workspace or sub-account you are in is the one you want to link to LinkedIn.

Step 2: Connect Your LinkedIn Account

  1. In Ad Manager, locate the Add Account or Connect option.
  2. Select LinkedIn as the ad platform.
  3. Click the button to Connect LinkedIn. A LinkedIn login window will open.
  4. Sign in to LinkedIn and grant the requested permissions so GoHighLevel can read and manage your LinkedIn ads.
  5. Choose the LinkedIn ad accounts and pages you want to make available in GoHighLevel, then save.

Once connected, your LinkedIn ad accounts will appear in the Ad Manager account selector inside GoHighLevel.

Creating a New LinkedIn Campaign in GoHighLevel

After your LinkedIn account is connected, you can create new campaigns from the GoHighLevel interface without leaving the platform.

Step 1: Select the LinkedIn Ad Account in GoHighLevel

  1. Open Ad Manager in GoHighLevel.
  2. At the top of the screen, use the account dropdown to select the LinkedIn ad account you want to use.
  3. Confirm you are on the Campaigns tab so you see your LinkedIn campaign list.

Step 2: Start a New LinkedIn Campaign

  1. Click the Create Campaign or New Campaign button.
  2. Select LinkedIn if GoHighLevel asks you to pick a platform.
  3. Enter a clear Campaign Name that matches your objective and audience.

Step 3: Choose Objective and Settings

Depending on the integration version, GoHighLevel will expose LinkedIn objectives supported for your account. Typical fields include:

  • Objective (e.g., Lead generation, Website visits, Engagement).
  • LinkedIn Page or company profile.
  • Conversion tracking (if configured).

Configure the objective and any required high-level settings, then continue to the budget and schedule section inside GoHighLevel.

Configuring Budgets and Schedules in GoHighLevel

Budget and schedule controls in GoHighLevel mirror what is available in LinkedIn Campaign Manager.

Step 1: Set Your Budget

  • Select whether you want a Daily Budget or a Total (lifetime) Budget.
  • Enter the amount you want LinkedIn to spend for this campaign.
  • Confirm the currency matches your LinkedIn billing settings.

Step 2: Set Start and End Dates

  • Choose a Start Date. You can start immediately or at a scheduled time.
  • Optionally add an End Date for fixed campaigns, or leave it open-ended if you will pause manually from GoHighLevel.

Review all settings and click Next or Save & Continue to move into audience targeting within GoHighLevel.

Building LinkedIn Audiences in GoHighLevel

The audience builder in GoHighLevel taps into LinkedIn’s professional targeting options.

Step 1: Define Core Targeting

  • Select Locations.
  • Choose Language.
  • Refine by Job Title, Job Function, Industry, or Company Size, as available.

Step 2: Add Demographic and Interest Filters

  • Include or exclude specific company names when supported.
  • Use skills, groups, or interests segments if the GoHighLevel interface exposes them.
  • Save the audience for reuse across future campaigns inside GoHighLevel.

When the audience is complete, confirm the estimated reach and proceed to create ad creatives.

Create LinkedIn Ad Creatives via GoHighLevel

You can publish sponsored content and other LinkedIn ad formats from the same GoHighLevel workflow.

Step 1: Choose the Ad Format

  • Select from available formats (for example, Single image ad, Carousel, or Video) as exposed by the integration.
  • Match the format to your objective and the assets you have ready.

Step 2: Add Creative Assets

  • Upload images or video files following LinkedIn specs.
  • Enter your Headline and Introductory Text.

Preview the ad in GoHighLevel to confirm that the layout and copy render correctly for LinkedIn placements.

Step 3: Final Review and Publish

  1. Review campaign, audience, budget, and ad creative details.
  2. Click Publish or Launch in GoHighLevel.
  3. LinkedIn will review the ad; once approved, it will start serving according to your schedule.

Managing and Optimizing LinkedIn Ads in GoHighLevel

After launch, you can monitor performance and make adjustments without leaving GoHighLevel.

View Performance Metrics

  • In Ad Manager, select your LinkedIn account and campaign.
  • Use filters to view performance by date range, campaign, ad set, or ad.
  • Monitor metrics such as impressions, clicks, CTR, conversions, and cost.

Optimize Campaigns from GoHighLevel

  • Pause or enable underperforming ads or ad sets directly in the interface.
  • Adjust budgets at the campaign or ad set level.
  • Duplicate high-performing ads to test new variations in GoHighLevel.
  • Refine audiences based on performance data and lead quality.

Because LinkedIn performance data is visible in the same place as your other channels, you can make faster cross-channel budget decisions inside GoHighLevel.

LinkedIn Lead Management in GoHighLevel

When running lead generation campaigns, you can capture and route leads into your CRM automations.

  • Connect LinkedIn lead forms to specific pipelines or workflows in GoHighLevel.
  • Trigger follow-up sequences, email nurturing, and task creation when a new lead arrives.
  • Report on conversion rates from click to opportunity within a single GoHighLevel view.

Advanced agencies can combine this with external strategy and consulting from providers such as Consultevo to scale campaigns and automations across multiple clients.

Troubleshooting LinkedIn Ads in GoHighLevel

If something is not working, you can fix most common issues directly from the GoHighLevel Ad Manager.

  • Missing accounts or pages: Reconnect LinkedIn and confirm correct ad account and page permissions.
  • Campaign not delivering: Check budget, schedule, and audience size. Extremely narrow audiences may limit delivery.
  • Ad disapproved: Open the ad details in GoHighLevel to see the disapproval reason, then edit creative to align with LinkedIn policies.
  • Data delays: Allow for normal reporting lag between LinkedIn and the GoHighLevel dashboard.
