Performance marketing

Performance marketing is paid advertising judged by results: search, social and LinkedIn ads measured against leads, pipeline and revenue.

Why it matters

It's the fastest way to test a message and find first customers. Judged by clicks alone, it burns budget.

In practice

  • Send each ad to a page built for one action.
  • Measure cost per qualified lead, not per click.
  • Kill or scale every test within a few weeks.
