Healthcare Tech LinkedIn Ads Benchmarks
Real performance data from LinkedIn campaigns targeting health systems, hospitals, and healthcare IT. Based on campaigns for patient engagement, telehealth, and revenue cycle software.
Why Healthcare Has Higher CPLs
Healthcare tech faces a perfect storm of high CPLs: highly regulated buying processes, long sales cycles (6-18 months), and limited LinkedIn penetration among clinical staff. Hospital IT and administrative roles are reachable, but clinical decision-makers often aren't active on LinkedIn.
The solution: InMail with gift card incentives. Spa and wellness gift cards resonate particularly well with healthcare professionals, achieving 40-45% open rates and cutting CPL by 60%.
