Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

linkedin-ads-abm-guide scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

LinkedIn Ads for ABM - Guide

Ad formats, budget math, campaign structure, performance benchmarks, and optimization for Account-Based Marketing on LinkedIn.


Why LinkedIn for ABM

  • Best professional targeting: Filter by company, title, seniority, industry, function - no other platform matches this precision for B2B.
  • Company list targeting: Upload company lists from CRM → target specific accounts (minimum 300 matched members to run).
  • Persona filtering on company lists: Push company lists, then use LinkedIn's native filters to target specific personas within those accounts.
  • ABM-native: LinkedIn is where B2B decision-makers live. Your target accounts are already there.

Limitation: Google Display match rates are too low for B2B (nobody uses work emails on Google accounts). LinkedIn is the primary ABM channel. Google Display can supplement via retargeting on a separate no-index landing page domain.


LinkedIn Ad Formats for ABM

Format Overview and Performance

Format CTR CPC Best For ABM Stage
Single Image Ads 0.35-0.45% $8-19 Highest CTR, lowest CPC. Primary workhorse. All stages
Thought Leader Ads (TLAs) ~4-5%* ~$60-70* Top-of-funnel awareness, events, webinars. Runs on an engagement objective, so this is an engagement rate (read-more, reactions, profile clicks, tags) - NOT a click-through-rate to a landing page. Do not compare it to a website-visits CTR. Awareness
Carousel Ads Moderate ~$8-12 Multi-feature showcases, comparison content Interested
Video Ads ~0.3% ~$20-25 Brand awareness, product demos, case studies Awareness → Interested
Text Ads Very low Negligible Cheap brand impressions. Few clicks. Awareness (background)
DM/Message Ads Low Very expensive Direct offers. Extremely high CPC. Not recommended for scale. Considering (sparingly)
Document Ads Moderate Moderate Lead magnets, guides, reports Interested

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
