What every campaign includes
A campaign from one sentence and a budget
Describe the offer in one sentence and set the monthly budget. Leadlord drafts the brief from your firm’s confirmed facts, then the ads and both landing pages.
Its own campaign for each audience
Name an audience, such as Montréal physicians, and its campaign gets its own ads and two landing pages. Each runs in English, French or both, from the same brief.
The Compliance Analysis comes with the draft
Each ad and page is checked against the rules that apply to your firm, such as CIRO’s, the Competition Act and LinkedIn’s and Meta’s ad policies. Each finding is explained, with the rule it rests on.
Approved in one place, run as approved
Your reviewer, at your firm or your dealer, approves or requests changes in Leadlord, and each decision stays with the exact version. Nothing launches before that approval, and Meta’s automatic changes to ad text and images are switched off and checked after upload.
Calls traced to their page
On a phone, each page’s main button calls your office, and Leadlord counts the calls for each page. An answered call from an ad visitor who accepted measurement goes back to LinkedIn or Meta as a conversion.
Your own ad accounts
Image ads run on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram from your firm’s own ad accounts, under access it can revoke. Your firm funds them directly.
The campaigns shown are illustrative.
Criterion by criterion
Leadlord runs paid LinkedIn and Meta campaigns with their landing pages and call tracking.

Questions
How long does an agency take to launch a campaign?
Two of the three agencies we read publish a launch time. One says its campaigns are typically live two to three weeks after kickoff, allowing time for the offer, the creative and the compliance review. The other says most campaigns launch within two to three weeks, and suggests an extra week for a first campaign.1, 3
Does Leadlord replace our compliance review?
No. Leadlord’s Compliance Analysis informs your Authorized Reviewer, who decides what runs.
