Summary

How much of your LinkedIn ad exposure are you actually seeing? LinkedIn’s Professional Demographics report only shows 25 companies, which can leave you with an incomplete view of who your ads are reaching.

In this example, Jason uses Databox to look beyond that limit. By pulling in impressions and clicks for all companies, including those that don’t appear in LinkedIn’s report, he’s able to get a more accurate picture of overall exposure.

This makes it easier to understand which companies are seeing ads over time, clean up targeting by excluding poor-fit accounts, and add helpful context when discussing pipeline activity with sales.

Jason’s tips and best practices

“Align company exposure with pipeline activity.” 

Company exposure data becomes more valuable when matched with pipeline. The signal is repeated impressions or clicks from accounts that later close or qualify. The action is to use that visibility to support conversations and show how marketing contributes to the pipeline.

“Use company-level exposure to refine exclusions.”

Seeing every company exposed to your ads makes it easier to spot poor-fit accounts early and exclude them, helping campaigns stay more focused and efficient over time.

“Below reporting minimum” doesn’t mean no activity, it means limited visibility.”

LinkedIn hides low-volume impressions and clicks behind that label. Viewing the actual numbers in Databox makes it easier to understand which companies had real exposure and which ones didn’t.

FAQ

How can I see all companies exposed to my LinkedIn ads?

LinkedIn’s Professional Demographics report only shows up to 25 companies. To see the full list of companies exposed to your ads, you need to pull company-level LinkedIn Ads data into a reporting tool like Databox, which surfaces impressions and clicks beyond LinkedIn’s reporting limits.

Why does LinkedIn only show 25 companies in ad reporting?

LinkedIn limits company-level reporting to protect user privacy, especially when engagement volume is low. As a result, many companies that see your ads are hidden behind reporting limits or labeled as “below reporting minimum.”

What does “below reporting minimum” mean in LinkedIn Ads?

“Below reporting minimum” means there was some level of activity, but LinkedIn isn’t showing the exact numbers. This often includes low impressions or clicks that are still meaningful for campaigns targeting specific accounts.
