B2B marketers are under more pressure than ever to prove the value of social media. In 2025, leadership teams want to see real business impact—think pipeline growth, sales velocity, and customer lifetime value, not just vanity metrics. According to recent industry data, over 70% of B2B organizations now tie social media performance directly to revenue goals, up from just 54% in 2023 (source). If you’re not measuring ROI, you’re missing out on budget, buy-in, and strategic influence.
But here’s the catch: B2B social media ROI is complex. Sales cycles are long, touchpoints are many, and attribution is rarely straightforward. That’s why you need a modern, data-driven approach—one that goes beyond basic engagement and connects every post, campaign, and conversation to your bottom line.
When it comes to B2B social media marketing, LinkedIn is in a league of its own. With over 1 billion professionals and 65 million decision-makers, LinkedIn is the go-to platform for building relationships, generating leads, and driving measurable business outcomes. In fact, 89% of B2B marketers say LinkedIn is their most effective channel for lead generation (source).
A B2B SaaS company used Sked Social’s LinkedIn Scheduler to automate posting, target IT decision-makers, and track engagement. By integrating UTM parameters and CRM data, they discovered that LinkedIn-sourced leads had a 30% higher deal size and moved through the pipeline 20% faster than average.
Measuring B2B social media ROI starts with tracking the right metrics. Here’s what matters most:
The classic formula is:
ROI (%) = [(Revenue from Social – Cost of Social) / Cost of Social] x 100
But in B2B, you’ll want to factor in multi-touch attribution and pipeline influence. For example, if a LinkedIn campaign generates 10 SQLs (sales-qualified leads) and 2 close, you’ll attribute a portion of that revenue to social—especially if those leads engaged with multiple touchpoints.
Start with objectives that matter to your business: lead generation, pipeline growth, or customer retention. Align every social campaign to these goals.
B2B buyers rarely convert after a single click. Use multi-touch attribution models to assign value to every social interaction—whether it’s a webinar sign-up, a content download, or a direct message.
Not all LinkedIn content is created equal. To maximize ROI, focus on formats and topics that resonate with your target audience:
Pro-Tip: Use Sked Social’s LinkedIn Scheduler to plan, schedule, and preview your content calendar. The drag-and-drop interface and visual feed planner make it easy to maintain a consistent, on-brand presence.
