Questions about hiring a LinkedIn marketing specialist

Straight answers to what NZ business owners ask us most.

How long before I see results?

Timing depends on the work: a profile refresh can be completed in days; content and community growth typically build over several months; paid campaigns can generate leads within days but require optimisation over a few weeks. Discuss timelines with the freelancer when you brief the project.

How do I choose the right freelancer?

Look for NZ-relevant experience, samples of LinkedIn work (profiles, posts, campaign screenshots), clear reporting examples, and a proposed approach for your brief. Use the Unicorn Factory brief to compare applicants and ask for a short discovery chat.

Do freelancers manage ad spend and billing?

Freelancers typically create and run campaigns in your LinkedIn Ads account or via a client billing arrangement; ad spend and platform charges are paid separately and are not included in a freelancer's fee unless clearly agreed.

Will my LinkedIn profile or page be shared publicly?

Any profile or page changes are made in your account and are visible on LinkedIn as normal. Confirm content ownership and posting permissions with the freelancer before work begins.

What is the Unicorn Factory process?

You create a project brief, relevant freelancers apply, you review applications, and Unicorn Factory makes warm introductions so you can run interviews and agree terms directly with the chosen freelancer.
