Regex Matching Criteria
Traffic with utm_source='linkedin' and utm_medium='paid-social' (or 'cpc') is cleanly attributed to the Paid Social channel grouping in GA4.

Frequently Asked Questions: LinkedIn Ads UTMs
Detailed answers regarding LinkedIn Sponsored Content tracking, link configuration, and attribution
Does LinkedIn Ads support dynamic ValueTrack parameters like Google or Meta?
No. LinkedIn Campaign Manager currently does not offer dynamic macro token replacement in destination URLs. You must construct distinct UTM links for each creative variation manually.
How can I differentiate organic LinkedIn shares from paid LinkedIn ads in GA4?
For organic posts, use 'utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=social'. For sponsored campaigns, use 'utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=paid-social'. GA4 will automatically categorize organic shares under Organic Social and ad clicks under Paid Social.
