How to use a Righthand with LinkedIn Ads

Use Righthand to assemble a LinkedIn Ads review by account, campaign, and creative.

Quick answer

Use Righthand to assemble a LinkedIn Ads review by account, campaign, and creative. Keep professional-demographic breakdowns distinct from overall delivery totals.

Start with a reviewable deliverable, keeping LinkedIn Ads as the accepted home for its records. This guide uses an explicitly approved snapshot or browser read; it does not assume that every provider API action is exposed by your Righthand connection.

Evidence and access

LinkedIn documents advertising reporting metrics and the radsreporting permission. See the official LinkedIn Ads reference. Provider capabilities and Righthand's available tools are separate checks.

Scope the packet to one approved advertising account and the named campaign group, with audience, creative, conversion definition, and reporting window. Verify the required tools and owner-approved scope through Righthand integrations; use the supplied packet when a native read is unavailable.

Define the objects and authority

Include these fields in the working input: ad account, campaign, creative, period, currency, impressions, clicks, spend, breakdown. These are the requested review columns, not a promise that every provider endpoint returns them under those exact names.

Reporting access does not authorize campaign changes. Aggregated audience data should not become claims about identifiable people.

Illustrative first-run brief

Use the owner-provided LinkedIn Ads snapshot or approved read-only view. Compare the supplied campaign and creative reports for one review period. Identify incomplete breakdowns and draft optimization questions. Do not alter targeting, budget, or delivery. Run once for the agreed sample, using America/Los_Angeles for the review deadline and preserving source timestamps separately. Return the draft in this conversation by Friday at 3 PM Pacific for the paid-media owner to review. Include source references and missing fields. Do not write records, spend money, change permissions, or send external messages. Stop and report an unavailable source rather than substituting another account.

Expected result and verification

A creative with fewer clicks is a review candidate, while a sparse demographic breakdown is marked limited evidence rather than absent demand.

Check a campaign total against the platform report using identical aggregation and time filters. Record the source cutoff, applied filters, and items excluded from the sample. The reviewer should be able to follow each consequential finding back to an original object. A well-written summary is not evidence that a proposed action happened. If a later write is authorized, verify its specific result separately before changing the task's status.

Common failure and recovery

Different aggregation levels double-count totals if combined. Rebuild the comparison at one level and retain excluded rows.

When campaign names repeat, use their source IDs and account reference. Ask the advertiser to resolve duplicates rather than pooling them silently.

FAQ

What should the reviewer verify first?

Verify account and campaign IDs, spend currency, audience scope, and metric definitions. Retain attribution assumptions beside any comparison of leads or results.

How should a repeat run be scoped?

Keep reporting windows and conversion definitions stable between reviews. Mark creative or audience changes so a later trend is not attributed to copy without evidence.
