How We-Connect Transforms Your LinkedIn Ads Agency

LinkedIn ads agencies face a common dilemma. How do you bridge the gap between ad engagement and qualified leads? In other words, how do your LinkedIn marketing services drive sales meetings, and not just impressions? We're not just talking about running ads anymore – we're talking about a more traditional, all-encompassing approach done by LinkedIn marketing agencies.


In this article, we'll show you a game-changing strategy for any LinkedIn ads agency: automated LinkedIn outreach campaigns. We'll explore exactly why LinkedIn automation isn't just a trend – it's a necessity to become a leading LinkedIn lead generation agency.



Key Takeaways



  • LinkedIn automation directly bridges the gap between ad engagement and qualified sales meetings for agencies.

  • Automated outreach allows for personalized connection requests and follow-ups at scale, impossible manually.

  • It enables hyper-precise targeting from LinkedIn groups, Sales Navigator, events, and post engagement.

  • Tools like We-Connect's Post Remix amplify content creation, scheduling, and approval for clients.

  • Advanced automation safely increases outreach limits while mimicking human behavior, maximizing reach.



What is LinkedIn Automation and Why it Matters for Your LinkedIn Ads Agency



If you're running an agency, you're likely already an expert at LinkedIn Ads. You know how to target, write engaging ad copy, and optimize for the initial click. Now, let's talk about the powerful, yet often underutilized, next step: LinkedIn automation.


LinkedIn automation uses cloud-based IPs to automate custom LinkedIn outreach campaigns comprised of 15+ different LinkedIn actions. Think about all those actions that build relationships and generate leads:


  • Sending personalized connection requests.

  • Initiating follow-up messages to new connections.

  • Systematically engaging with prospects who've already shown interest in your clients' ads.


Automation takes these tasks off your plate, executing them faster, while giving you the power to view campaign analytics to learn which messages work and which don't.


Not to mention, LinkedIn automation can be used far beyond lead generation. Many job seekers leverage automation to find a job on LinkedIn.

Why Your LinkedIn Marketing Agency Needs Automation



For any growing LinkedIn marketing agency, the challenge of lead generation at scale is a constant hurdle. Just think about these common frustrations:


  • Manual follow-up is impossible: If you wanted to send a connection request to every person who clicked on your ad, how long would that take?

  • Limited personalization without automation: While you want every message to feel personal and authentic, doing it individually for hundreds of prospects is a giant time suck. Automation helps you personalize at scale.

  • Client account management: Tracking progress across multiple client accounts manually can get chaotic. LinkedIn automation tools give a single dashboard that can switch between clients in seconds.

  • No visibility into LinkedIn activity: If your agency has team members, it's difficult to know exactly who is doing what on LinkedIn. Our favorite automation tools sync directly to your CRM for data syncing and visibility into LinkedIn activity.


This is precisely why LinkedIn automation, powered by a tool like We-Connect, isn't just convenient – it's a strategic decision to improve LinkedIn lead generation for yourself and your clients.



How LinkedIn Automation Helps LinkedIn Ads Agencies Deliver More



Understanding what LinkedIn automation is leads us directly to the "how." Now let's look at the tangible ways automation directly helps your LinkedIn marketing agency:


Ads + automated LinkedIn outreach = consistent conversion


Turn Ad Clicks into Qualified Leads, Automatically


LinkedIn ads agencies excel at getting engagements. But how do you turn clicks into conversations? We-Connect helps you capitalize on that initial interest immediately.


Here's a scenario:


  1. Someone clicks your client's LinkedIn ad.

  2. They download a lead magnet or visit a specific landing page linked from the ad.

  3. We-Connect sends a personalized connection request sequence directly on LinkedIn to that specific prospect.


This is a simple way to get more from your ads. In fact, here are five of our favorite outreach campaigns for social media managers.



Pinpoint Your Ideal Prospects with Precision Targeting


While LinkedIn Ads only allow for broad targeting, LinkedIn automation campaigns give you a level of precise targeting. This means you can pinpoint very specific groups, complementing your ad efforts by engaging highly relevant leads directly.


You can directly target contacts sourced from:


  • LinkedIn groups: Engage active members of niche communities relevant to your client's industry.

  • Sales Navigator searches: Leverage the powerful filtering of Sales Navigator to build specific lead lists based on job title, company size, seniority, and more.

  • LinkedIn events: Connect with participants of industry events or webinars, whether your client is hosting or just attending.

  • Post engagement: Turn likes and comments on relevant posts into direct conversations.


Of course, your targeting means nothing if your client's LinkedIn profile isn't strong. Learn how to optimize your LinkedIn profile here.



Amplify Your Content with Post Remix


Ads and messaging aren't the only way to generate leads on LinkedIn. Publishing content consistently on LinkedIn can have a drastic impact on improving the results from all other channels:


With a tool like We-Connect's Post Remix, your LinkedIn marketing agency can:


  • Create content from trending posts: Easily identify and leverage popular LinkedIn posts about specific topics. You can quickly remix these ideas into relevant content that fits your client's brand voice.

  • Generate content with prompts: Access a library of proven LinkedIn prompts to spark new content ideas or generate entire posts.

  • Schedule LinkedIn posts: Plan and schedule your clients' LinkedIn content in advance, publishing content when your audience is most active.

  • Track post analytics: Gain insights into how your clients' posts are performing. Clearly see engagement, reach, and other key metrics.


Of course, there's a bit of know-how that comes with posting. You need to know what your audience is interested in and when to post. Luckily, we've written in detail how to schedule posts on LinkedIn.



Safely Increase Weekly Action Limits


There are strict weekly LinkedIn limits on the number of actions (like connection requests, messages, profile views) an account can perform weekly. These limits are designed to prevent spam and ensure authentic human interaction.


However, advanced LinkedIn automation tools like We-Connect are engineered to work within these limits. The best tools even allow for a higher (yet safe) volume of outreach:


  • Mimicking human behavior: We-Connect uses smart algorithms to randomize delays between actions, vary daily activity, and even "sleep" overnight.

  • Account warm-up: For newer or less active client accounts, We-Connect facilitates a safe "warm-up" period, gradually increasing activity levels to build trust with LinkedIn.

  • Custom campaign and global limits: We-Connect allows you to customize the number of actions each campaign takes per day. Additioanlly, you can set global limits across your entire account.


By leveraging these safety features, your LinkedIn ad agency can reach more people without facing LinkedIn restrictions.
