LinkedIn Ads agency for niche UK B2B firms
Evergreen Growth is a founder-led UK LinkedIn Ads agency for niche B2B firms: manufacturers, IT and managed service providers, corporate and professional training providers, specialist finance firms and other professional services businesses where one new client is worth tens of thousands. I run your LinkedIn Ads end to end, from company list targeting and ads written for your buyers to retargeting and tracking connected to your CRM, and judge them on pipeline, not clicks.
Evergreen Growth costs from £1,250 a month + VAT to manage one ad platform. Ad spend is separate and paid directly to the platform, from £500 a month per platform. Rolling monthly, 7 days' notice, no setup fee.
Run by me, James Green, not an account manager.

"I don't get any of this social media stuff... but whatever you boys are doing keep doing it!"
What I did: We replaced show dependence with an always-on engine across Google Search, LinkedIn Ads and Facebook retargeting. Search caught buyers already comparing machines. LinkedIn put the brand, the machines and the sales team in front of plant managers and engineering buyers every week. Retargeting brought back the visitors who left without enquiring.

The approach
How I run LinkedIn Ads
- 1
Company list targeting first. Your dream accounts uploaded, then job titles layered on top so only buyers see the ads.
- 2
Ads that sound like a person, not a brochure. Copy, design, video scripting and editing are all included.
- 3
Retargeting and CRM uploads. People who've seen you once keep seeing you.
- 4
Tracking checked before a penny is spent. The Insight Tag and your conversions, tested and working before launch.
- 5
Reporting you can check any time. A live dashboard you can open 24/7, plus a plain-English call every month.
What good looks like
What a well-run LinkedIn account looks like
A healthy LinkedIn account
- Audience Network and Audience Expansion switched off.
- A company list of the accounts you want (or company size and industry), with buyer job titles and location. No seniority, function or skills layers on top.
- Students, entry-level roles, freelancers and irrelevant industries excluded.
- The Insight Tag firing and conversions tested before any money is spent.
- Retargeting for people who have already engaged, so they keep seeing you.
- Reports judged on enquiries and pipeline from target accounts, not click-through rate.
Mistakes I fix most often
- Audience Network left on. It's on by default and sends your ads to third-party apps and sites. In one account I audited, 62% of the spend had gone there. Read the £96k case
- Audience Expansion left on. It widens a careful buyer audience to whoever is cheapest to reach. The hidden LinkedIn traps
- Job titles with no company list. The right title at the wrong companies still costs you the same click. How to upload a company list
- Ads that look like every other corporate ad. People scroll past, click-through drops and LinkedIn charges you more to reach the same people. Ads people stop for
- Judging it on clicks. A healthy click-through rate and zero customers is a common combination. I report on who clicked and what happened next.
Why me
How working with me differs from a typical agency
After you sign
What happens in the first 90 days
- First week
Access, tracking, plan
One onboarding call. You give me access to your own LinkedIn account, I check the LinkedIn Insight Tag is firing properly, and we agree who we're trying to reach and what counts as a good enquiry.
- First 30 days
Launch and first data
Campaigns and ads go live once tracking is proven. First data lands in 2 to 4 weeks, your live dashboard is running, and we have our first monthly call.
- First 90 days
Judge it on pipeline
By now we're looking at enquiries and pipeline, not clicks. What works gets more budget, what doesn't gets cut, and new creative goes in. If it isn't working for you, rolling monthly means you can walk away.

LinkedIn Ads questions
- How much should I spend on LinkedIn Ads?
- At least £500/month, paid directly to LinkedIn on top of the management fee. Work out a realistic figure for your market with the budget calculator, and see what UK B2B campaigns actually cost in the benchmarks.LinkedIn budget calculatorUK LinkedIn Ads benchmarks
- Is there a contract?
- No. It's rolling monthly with no setup fee.
- Are you the right LinkedIn Ads agency for me?
- If you're a niche B2B firm where one new client is worth tens of thousands, such as a manufacturer, an IT or managed service provider or a professional services firm, probably yes. If you're venture-funded SaaS, a large enterprise or testing on a very small budget, someone else will suit you better. I've compared the UK options honestly.Best LinkedIn Ads agencies in the UK
- How long before I see results?
- You'll have first data in 2 to 4 weeks. Judge it on pipeline over a full sales cycle, not on the first month's clicks. I don't guarantee leads, because nobody honest can.
- I don't have a target account list. Is that a problem?
- No. Build one with the free Account List Builder first. It gives you 50 named companies to start from.Free Account List Builder
- Should I be on LinkedIn, Google or Meta?
- It depends on whether your buyers are searching for you, and how many of them there are. I've compared all three for B2B in plain English.LinkedIn vs Google vs Meta Ads for B2B
- Can you just audit my account instead?
- Yes. £250 + VAT for LinkedIn, back in 5 working days, and credited against your first month if you become a client within 30 days.The ads audit
- Should I switch off LinkedIn Audience Network?
- In most niche B2B accounts, yes. It's on by default and sends your ads to third-party apps and sites. In one account I audited, 62% of the spend had gone there.The £96k LinkedIn optimisation disaster
- What click-through rate or cost per click should I expect?
- It depends on your audience size and your creative. Rather than quote a number here, I've published UK figures you can compare against.UK LinkedIn Ads benchmarks
- Who actually does the work?
- I do. I'm your point of contact and hands-on with the strategy, the ad ideas and the reporting. No account managers in between.
- Do I own the ad account?
- Yes. Ads run on your own LinkedIn account and the ad spend is paid directly to LinkedIn. If we stop working together, everything stays with you.
- Can you run Meta or Google Ads as well?
- Yes. Growth covers 2 platforms for £1,725/month + VAT, and Scale covers up to 5 from £4,025+/month + VAT.See all pricing
- Do you guarantee results?
- No. Nobody honest can guarantee leads from ads. What I can promise is that tracking is checked before launch, you can see the numbers any time, and I'll tell you straight if it isn't working.
- What does the audit cost if I'm not ready to hire anyone?
- £250 + VAT per platform, back in 5 working days, with a written report, a video walkthrough and a fix list you can do yourself.The ads audit
