What Linkedin Ad types are supported?
RollWorks supports LinkedIn’s Sponsored Content single image Ads, which is a LinkedIn Page update that is sponsored as an advertisement and is delivered to the LinkedIn feed of members beyond those who follow your company. Sponsored Content as single image Ads include one image and appear directly in the LinkedIn feed of members you want to reach, whether on desktop or mobile devices.

| Ad Field | Help |
| Name (required) | Use a naming convention. We recommend giving the same name to all Ads with the same messaging without including Ad Type and Ad size. All RollWorks reporting can be filtered by Ad size regardless of the name. If you want to be able to report on an Ad message as a whole, keeping them the same will make this easier. |
| Title (required) |
Use your title to grab your visitor's attention and summarize your ad's purpose |
| Description (required) | Your description is a place to explain a little more about your ad's purpose, such as elaborating on your product or brand and values. |
| Destination URL (required) | This is where someone lands after they click on your ad. Be sure to enter the entire URL https://www.mycompany.com/page |
| Description URL (optional) | The latest versions of LinkedIn’s mobile and desktop rarely show link description text. |
How do I troubleshoot my LinkedIn ads?
There are a couple of items that you must check if you are experiencing issues with your LinkedIn Ads:
- Ensure that you are using a secure server https:// to collect or pass personal information.
- Verify that the domain of your Display URL on your ad matches the domain of your Destination URL.
- Ensure that your Ads are compliant with LinkedIn's Advertising Policies. Learn more about LinkedIn Ad Guidelines in their help center.
- Ensure that the word 'LinkedIn' is not used and that your Ad copy used does not imply any affiliation with the LinkedIn platform.
- If your URL generates an error, copy everything after the question mark into the URL and paste it into a URL encoder like http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/ then copy your results and replace the original query string in the URL.
