Our LinkedIn Message Ads & Conversation Ads Process
LinkedIn message and conversation ads provide B2B marketers with direct access to professional inboxes, creating opportunities for personalised communication at scale. Unlike traditional ad formats that compete for attention in busy feeds, message ads appear as direct communications, commanding higher attention and engagement rates.
Priority Pixels approaches LinkedIn inbox advertising with a systematic process designed to maximise both message relevance and business results. Our strategy begins with identifying clear objectives and appropriate messaging approaches. We then develop content that respects the professional nature of LinkedIn while driving specific actions aligned with your goals.
By combining LinkedIn’s sophisticated targeting capabilities with strategic message development, we help B2B companies and public sector organisations achieve measurable business outcomes from their inbox advertising investment. Our process ensures campaigns maintain professional standards while delivering compelling calls-to-action that generate qualified leads.

Strategic Planning
Strategic planning forms the foundation of effective LinkedIn message and conversation ad campaigns. This initial phase examines your business objectives, audience priorities and conversion goals to identify where direct inbox communication will have the most significant impact.
Priority Pixels begins by analysing your marketing goals and determining which messaging formats best align with those objectives. For straightforward lead generation, standard message ads often deliver strong results. For more complex offerings or longer sales cycles, interactive conversation ads typically perform better by allowing prospects to self-select relevant information paths.
The planning phase includes establishing clear campaign KPIs and defining successful outcomes. We also assess your current LinkedIn presence and promotional messaging to ensure inbox communications maintain consistent brand voice while offering distinctive value. This thorough approach ensures your message advertising strategy integrates effectively with your broader LinkedIn and digital marketing activities.

Audience Configuration
Audience configuration gives LinkedIn message and conversation ads their precision and effectiveness. This step creates targeted audience segments based on professional attributes that indicate both relevance for your offerings and receptiveness to direct communications.
Priority Pixels implements sophisticated audience targeting for message campaigns, using LinkedIn’s B2B targeting options. We build custom audience segments based on job function, seniority, industry and company size parameters most relevant to your offerings. For higher-value services, we layer additional targeting criteria to reach key decision-makers.
Beyond demographic targeting, we incorporate interest and behavioural parameters to reach professionals actively engaged with relevant topics. This multi-dimensional approach ensures your message ads reach professionals most likely to welcome and respond to your inbox communications rather than perceiving them as intrusive.

Message Development
Message development for LinkedIn inbox campaigns requires special consideration of both content and format. Creating effective message ads means crafting content that feels personal and valuable while remaining professional and action-oriented within LinkedIn’s messaging environment.
Priority Pixels creates message content specifically designed for LinkedIn’s professional context. We develop subject lines that encourage opens without appearing misleading or overly promotional. Our message bodies balance concise value statements with clear calls-to-action, respecting the recipient’s time while providing compelling reasons to engage further.
For conversation ads, our development process includes mapping out logical decision trees with multiple response options. We create branching paths that address different prospect interests and objections, delivering personalised content based on their selections. This interactive approach increases engagement by giving recipients control over their content experience.

We properly configure sender profiles, formatting, button placements and character counts to optimise appearance across devices. For conversation ads, we implement logical path structures with appropriate fallback options for a seamless user experience.
During implementation, we establish comprehensive tracking with UTM parameters for web clicks and lead form integrations for direct conversions. We also set appropriate frequency caps to prevent message fatigue and delivery settings that align with professional communication preferences. This technical foundation ensures your message campaigns operate effectively while respecting recipient experience.

Creative Testing
Creative testing transforms initial LinkedIn message and conversation ad concepts into optimised communications. This process involves structured testing of different message elements to identify the most effective approaches for your specific audiences and objectives.
Priority Pixels implements systematic testing across subject lines, message bodies, calls-to-action and conversation flows. We use controlled variables to isolate which elements drive the strongest open rates, click-through rates and conversion metrics. This data-driven approach allows us to refine messaging based on actual recipient response.
Our testing methodology includes both A/B testing of specific elements and multivariate testing of complete message concepts. For conversation ads, we analyse path performance to identify which options receive the most engagement and which conversion points perform best. This continuous testing process ensures your messages evolve toward increasingly effective communications.

Optimisation Strategy
Optimisation strategy transforms initial LinkedIn message and conversation ad performance into progressively stronger results. This ongoing process involves analysing response patterns, identifying improvement opportunities and implementing tactical adjustments to enhance campaign effectiveness.
Priority Pixels applies a systematic optimisation methodology to inbox campaigns. We regularly review key metrics including delivery rates, open rates, click-through rates and conversion rates. This analysis identifies both underperforming elements requiring adjustment and successful components that should receive increased investment.
Our optimisation process includes refining audience targeting, adjusting messaging approaches and updating offers based on response data. We also monitor lead quality metrics beyond initial conversion to assess which message variants drive the highest-quality prospects. This disciplined approach to campaign management ensures your LinkedIn message ads deliver consistent improvement in results throughout the campaign lifecycle.

LinkedIn Message & Conversation Ads FAQs
What are LinkedIn Message Ads and how do they work?
LinkedIn message ads deliver direct communications to LinkedIn members through their inbox on the platform. These personalised messages appear alongside regular LinkedIn communications, creating higher visibility than standard ad formats. Each message includes a headline, body text and call-to-action button.
Priority Pixels implements message ads as part of comprehensive LinkedIn advertising strategies. The direct nature of these formats makes them particularly effective for specific calls-to-action, such as event registrations, content downloads and service enquiries from professional audiences.
What are LinkedIn Conversation Ads and how do they differ from Message Ads?
LinkedIn conversation ads expand on standard message ads by offering interactive, choose-your-own-path experiences. These ads present recipients with multiple response options that lead to different content paths based on their selections, creating two-way conversations rather than one-way messages.
Priority Pixels uses conversation ads for more complex offerings requiring prospect self-qualification. The interactive nature allows recipients to indicate specific interests or challenges, receiving more relevant information while progressing naturally toward conversion points appropriate to their needs.
When should I use Message Ads versus Conversation Ads?
LinkedIn message ads work best for straightforward offers with single calls-to-action, such as content downloads or webinar registrations. Conversation ads prove more effective for complex products or services requiring prospect qualification or when multiple potential offers might appeal to different segments.
Priority Pixels recommends specific formats based on your business objectives and offering complexity. For direct lead generation with clear next steps, message ads often provide the most efficient path. For solutions with multiple applications or longer sales cycles, conversation ads typically deliver stronger results.
How much do LinkedIn Message and Conversation Ads cost?
LinkedIn message and conversation ads operate on a cost-per-send pricing model, typically ranging from £0.30-£0.80 per delivered message in the UK market. This pricing structure differs from impression-based formats, ensuring you only pay for actual inbox deliveries.
Priority Pixels optimises campaign efficiency through strategic audience targeting to reach the most qualified prospects. Our approach focuses on maximising response rates and conversion quality rather than simply minimising cost-per-send, ensuring your investment delivers meaningful business results.
What metrics should I track for LinkedIn Message and Conversation Ads?
Effective measurement of LinkedIn message ad performance includes delivery metrics (send rate, open rate), engagement metrics (click-through rate, conversion rate) and business impact metrics (cost per lead, lead quality, pipeline influence).
Priority Pixels implements comprehensive tracking frameworks tailored to your specific business objectives. We establish appropriate attribution models that account for LinkedIn’s role in your overall marketing mix and provide regular reporting that connects campaign performance to meaningful business outcomes.
How can I ensure my LinkedIn Message Ads don't feel spammy?
Creating professional, relevant message ads requires thoughtful audience targeting, valuable content and appropriate frequency control. Messages should offer clear value, address specific professional challenges and maintain a respectful, business-appropriate tone.
Priority Pixels creates message content that respects professional boundaries while providing genuine value. We implement strict frequency caps, ensure targeting reaches appropriate audiences and craft messaging that feels helpful rather than intrusive. This balanced approach maintains brand reputation while achieving marketing objectives.
Can LinkedIn Message and Conversation Ads work for niche B2B companies?
LinkedIn message and conversation ads are particularly effective for niche B2B companies targeting specific professional audiences. The platform’s granular targeting combined with direct communication creates highly relevant experiences even for specialised industries or narrow market segments.
Priority Pixels has successfully implemented message campaigns for numerous niche B2B clients. The key lies in developing precisely targeted audiences and creating message content that addresses specific challenges relevant to those specialised professional segments.

Priority Pixels develops multi-layered targeting strategies for message campaigns. We often implement account-based approaches for high-value prospects alongside broader awareness campaigns. This balanced methodology ensures your message ads reach both strategic accounts and wider relevant audiences.
How do I measure the ROI of LinkedIn Message and Conversation Ads?
Measuring ROI for LinkedIn message ads requires connecting campaign activity to business outcomes through comprehensive tracking and attribution. Effective analysis combines platform metrics with CRM integration to assess lead quality, sales progression and ultimate conversion value.
Priority Pixels establishes proper tracking infrastructure from campaign initiation, ensuring accurate data collection throughout the customer journey. Our reporting frameworks connect advertising costs to business results, providing clear ROI calculations that demonstrate the true value of your LinkedIn message advertising investment.
What creative best practices should I follow for LinkedIn Message Ads?
Effective LinkedIn message ads require thoughtful creative design that respects the inbox environment. Best practices include concise subject lines (under 60 characters), brief message bodies (300-500 characters), clear value propositions and strong calls-to-action that specify exactly what happens next.
Priority Pixels creates message ad creative following platform guidelines while differentiating your brand. We craft messages that feel personal without false familiarity, maintain professional language appropriate to LinkedIn and include compelling calls-to-action that drive meaningful engagement.
