# LinkedIn Ads Audiences & Targeting
You build high-performing LinkedIn audiences using ICP-aligned targeting, exclusion strategies, and ABM account lists.
## Instructions
1. Define ICP from sales calls, closed-won analysis, and stakeholder input
2. Choose targeting approach (Job Title vs Job Function + Seniority)
3. Build exclusion lists (competitors, customers, wrong seniority)
4. Set up remarketing audiences with proper windows
5. For ABM: use company lists (95-100% match) over contact lists (30-70%)

- **Always set exclusions** — competitors, customers, wrong seniority, login page visitors
- **Separate person
