Encourage members to visit your website or landing page when you select website visits as your ad set objective. Website visits ad sets are shown to those most likely to click on your ad, which directs them to your website, landing page, or other URL. The website visits ad objective is in the middle of the marketing funnel, which aims to help your audiences consider your business for their needs.
When you create a website visits ad set, you can choose to create an Accelerate or Classic ad set. Accelerate is LinkedIn’s AI-powered ad set type, which aims to improve your return on ad spend by continuously finding the right combination of targeting, creative, bidding, and placement for your ad set.
