Short answer
Give AnswerBid access to your LinkedIn ad account in Campaign Manager. We create a company-list audience called “AnswerBid · AI-identified ICP companies” and refresh it with the companies that fit your ICP, daily through the LinkedIn Marketing API where access is approved, otherwise by CSV upload. LinkedIn takes up to 48 hours to match new companies. You then see the audience, its match rate and LinkedIn results by company on the LinkedIn ABM screen.
What we need from you
- Access to your LinkedIn ad account in Campaign Manager for your AnswerBid account manager.
- The LinkedIn Insight Tag on your website, so LinkedIn can report website visits per company.
- Your exclusions: customers and open opportunities you don’t want in the audience.
How the sync works
| Step | Timing |
|---|---|
| Companies identified from AI answers and ads, scored against your ICP | Daily |
| ICP companies sent to the LinkedIn company list (name and domain) | Daily at 06:00 via API, or weekly by CSV |
| LinkedIn matches the companies | Up to 48 hours |
| LinkedIn results by company shown in your dashboard | Next day (company data arrives 12–24 hours late) |
What you see in the dashboard
The LinkedIn ABM screen shows companies synced, match rate, LinkedIn impressions, return visits and engaged accounts, a table of companies with suggested roles to target, and suggested 1:few campaigns. Try it in the client dashboard demo.
