Exclusions

Never pay for the wrong company
or the wrong role again.

In Campaign Manager, exclusions live on each campaign, so they drift: one campaign excludes competitors, the next one does not. IntentBid keeps one exclusion list for the whole profile and applies it to every LinkedIn campaign, every day. Customers from your CRM and the competitors on your profile are added for you.

One list, every campaign

Companies and job titles excluded once apply to all LinkedIn campaigns of the profile.

Competitors automatically

The competitors on your profile are matched to their LinkedIn pages and excluded.

One click from a company

Exclude an account straight from its company page or from the account engagement table.

Exclusions are applied to the LinkedIn campaigns once a day.

Limits to know

Companies are excluded by their LinkedIn company page. A company that LinkedIn cannot match (no page, or a page with a different name) cannot be excluded, and IntentBid shows which ones did not match. Job titles are LinkedIn's standardised titles, so a title typed in a member's profile in a way LinkedIn does not map may still get through. Exclusions affect who LinkedIn shows the ad to; they don't change reporting for impressions served before the exclusion.

Straight answers.

Do exclusions apply to campaigns I created outside IntentBid?

You choose. The list applies to every LinkedIn campaign of the profile that you turn exclusions on for, including ones created in Campaign Manager.

How many companies can I exclude?

LinkedIn limits how many values one campaign can exclude; IntentBid matches up to 200 customers and competitors automatically and shows you when a list goes over what LinkedIn accepts.

Can I exclude a target account temporarily?

Yes. Exclude it from the company page and remove it from the list later. For a daily pause, use the frequency cap per account instead.

Will customers still see retention or upsell campaigns?

Customer exclusion is a per-campaign choice in Spend Guard, so you can leave it off on campaigns meant for customers.
