Conversational marketing on LinkedIn transforms passive ads into dynamic, two-way dialogues that drive deeper engagement, nurture leads, and accelerate conversions for B2B brands and agencies like Faseeh Lall & Co.
1. What Are LinkedIn Conversation Ads?
Conversation Ads are interactive message-based ads delivered in LinkedIn Messaging. They mimic chatbots with:
- Introductory message
- Up to 5 CTA buttons per message
- Branching message flows based on button clicks
They’re charged on a cost-per-send (CPS) basis, ensuring you pay only when a message is delivered to an active member.
2. Why LinkedIn Conversational Marketing Works
- Personalized outreach with sender macros (first name, job title)
- Multiple, choice-driven CTAs keep prospects engaged
- Real-time dialogue boosts relevance and completion rates
- Deep targeting by industry, role, and seniority

3. Best Practices for Maximum Engagement
- Personalized Sender & Intro
Use a relevant first-degree connection or senior executive as sender. Personalize with name and company macros. - Multiple CTAs & Branching
Offer 3–5 CTAs: demo, download, website visit, follow-up message. Build decision trees that guide prospects logically. - Concise, Benefit-Driven Copy
Keep intro <500 characters. Highlight a single pain point or benefit. Align CTAs to audience intent (awareness vs. lead gen). - Target Segmentation
Narrow audience to 20–100K high-value profiles. Combine firmographics, seniority, and website retargeting lists. - Test & Optimize
A/B test sender profiles, messaging tones, CTA types. Review flowchart reports weekly and reallocate CPS budget to top performers.
