What is Matched Audiences (LinkedIn)?

A LinkedIn Ads feature for targeting using your own data such as email lists, website visitors, or company lists.

What are Matched Audiences?

Matched Audiences is LinkedIn's first-party data targeting feature that lets you upload email lists, target website visitors, or specify company lists for ad targeting. It's LinkedIn's equivalent of Facebook's Custom Audiences.

Why Matched Audiences Matter

Matched Audiences combine the precision of your own data with LinkedIn's professional targeting capabilities. Match rates are typically 30-70% depending on data quality, and these audiences consistently outperform interest-based targeting.
