From Spend to Scale: Making Paid Ads Work Harder with The Growth Knowledge Hub

Paid media can either be a growth rocket or a money pit. LinkedIn and Google Ads generate thousands of impressions, clicks, and conversions, but without clarity, teams struggle to answer the most critical questions: Are we spending wisely? Which channel delivers true ROI? Where should we double down?

​

The Growth Knowledge Hub brings these answers to life. By consolidating ad performance across LinkedIn and Google, it delivers not just numbers but insights: cost per click, cost per conversion, impression-to-click ratios, and weekly performance trends. This empowers growth warriors to make every advertising dollar count.

Ads Performance

Problem

Modern growth teams face a set of recurring challenges in managing paid ads:

​

  1. Cost Efficiency Blind Spots

    • LinkedIn Ads spent $18,935.59 for 87 conversions → Cost per conversion: $217.65.

    • Google Ads spent $30,253.64 for 325 conversions → Cost per conversion: $93.09.
      Without context, these numbers just sit in silos, leaving leaders blind to where real efficiency lies.

  2. Impressions vs. Impact

    • LinkedIn impressions: 1.22M vs. Google impressions: 1.15M.

    • But clicks tell a different story: Google drives 7,213 clicks, far outpacing LinkedIn’s 4,877 clicks.
      High visibility doesn’t always equal high engagement — but teams often conflate the two.

  3. Weekly Performance Volatility

    • Some weeks spike with over 170k impressions or 787 clicks, others dip dramatically.

    • Without connecting these fluctuations to campaigns, targeting, or creative, optimization opportunities slip away.

  4. Fragmented Channel Strategies

    • Marketing optimizes for impressions, sales wants cheaper conversions, and product cares about downstream retention.

    • The lack of a unified, cross-channel growth lens creates misaligned priorities and wasted spend.

Solution

The Growth Knowledge Hub reframes ad data into actionable growth levers:

​

  • Channel Benchmarking
    Instantly compare LinkedIn vs. Google Ads on cost per click, cost per impression, and cost per conversion. Identify where dollars stretch further and where targeting requires refinement.

  • Spend Efficiency Analysis
    Translate raw spend into meaningful ROI narratives. For example: Google delivers 3.5x more conversions than LinkedIn at less than half the cost per conversion.

  • Performance Trend Mapping
    Weekly breakdowns highlight what’s working, when, and why — from spikes in Week 11 impressions to dips in Week 20 clicks. These insights help replicate wins and prevent wasted spend.

  • Unified Growth View
    Align sales, marketing, and product teams around a single performance truth — one that shows both reach (impressions) and efficiency (conversions) to inform holistic growth strategy.

  • Action Prescriptions, Not Just Reports
    Dashboards move beyond “what happened” into “what to do next”:

    • Scale Google Ads where conversions are cost-efficient.

    • Refine LinkedIn targeting to justify its higher cost per conversion.

    • Reinvest spend during proven high-engagement weeks.
