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.

Problem
Modern growth teams face a set of recurring challenges in managing paid ads:
​
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
