Where to find LinkedIn Statistics
Navigate to Marketing > Ad Manager > Statistics tab on top left.
From the platform dropdown, select LinkedIn.
Choose a date range for the performance window you want to analyze.
Statistics Hierarchy
LinkedIn data in HighLevel mirrors LinkedIn’s own campaign structure. The hierarchy is:
Campaign Group : Equivalent to Meta Campaigns / Google Campaigns.
Campaign : Equivalent to Meta Ad Sets / Google Ad Groups.
Ad : Equivalent to Meta Ads / Google Ads.
This allows you to drill down:
Campaign Group > Campaign > Ad

Conversion Rate : Leads ÷ Clicks (%).
Other metrics: Status, Spend, Impressions, Clicks, CTR, CPC, CPM.
Website Traffic Campaigns
Metrics are focused on website actions:

How to Interpret the Data
Impressions vs. Clicks : Gauge whether your ad is engaging enough.
CTR : Higher % means ads are resonating with your target audience.
CPC & CPM : Reflect ad cost efficiency; use to compare across campaigns.
Leads & CPL (Lead Gen) : Measure lead capture efficiency.
Conversions & Cost per Conversion (Traffic) : Track ROI for website campaigns.
Conversion Rate (Leads ÷ Clicks) : Evaluate form quality & user intent.
Best Practices
Always check Status : Ads in “In Review” will not deliver until LinkedIn approves.
Use drilldowns to compare campaigns within the same group or ads within a campaign.
Customize your view : Use the Columns button to add/remove metrics based on what matters most.
Export reports : Click Export to generate spreadsheets for deeper client reporting.
Monitor spend pacing : Ensure budgets are aligned with campaign goals.
Compare objectives : CPL for Lead Gen vs. Cost per Conversion for Traffic campaigns.
