LinkedIn Insights Tag Installation

Having a LinkedIn account is essential for almost any business, especially if a proportion of your customers are other businesses or business professionals. 

LinkedIn Ads can be a really powerful method for driving high-quality traffic to your website, however, to get the most out of this, we first need to set up our LinkedIn Insights Tag (Pixel). Having a LinkedIn Insights Tag will allow us to see what visitors from LinkedIn are doing when they click on our ad and visit our website.

In this lesson, we'll go through the process of setting up your LinkedIn business page and connecting your LinkedIn Insights Tag via Google Tag Manager.

Step 1

Before we can collect our LinkedIn pixel, we first need to create a LinkedIn business page and ad account. Here are some posts to walk you through the process.
