Salesforce Releases New Google and LinkedIn Data Cloud Integration

Salesforce has just released new Data Cloud integrations for Google and LinkedIn. Salesforce users can utilize these integrations to merge first-party data from Salesforce's #1 AI CRM and to run automated, targeted advertising campaigns on Google Ads and LinkedIn.

As the cookieless future approaches and data privacy standards move rapidly, businesses are focusing on consent-based data, which is directly gathered from their audiences, as the foundation for how they evaluate and communicate with customers.

However, data silos make it difficult for marketers to develop a unified image of their customers by leveraging their company's first-party data: Even though organizations utilize an average of 1,061 applications, 71% of them are not integrated.

What is the New Data Cloud Integration?

These new Google and LinkedIn connectors allow marketers to securely access their first-party data in Data Cloud to create segments and then run relevant advertising campaigns on Google Ads and LinkedIn. Advertisers can now use these additional features to do the following:

Advertising that is Linked 

A media company can create engaging and seamless advertising experiences that drive customer loyalty by leveraging unified customer profiles from Data Cloud to provide personalized ads and campaign measurement across display, video, TV, audio, and more with Google Display & Video 360.

Professional Network of Interest 

LinkedIn allows you to target nearly 1 billion active professionals based on job title, function, industry, and other criteria. Using first-party data and AI-powered product interest scoring from Marketing Cloud, Sales Cloud, and Service Cloud, as well as product usage data from their own apps, a tech company, for example, can create an end-to-end program to increase awareness and promote relevant upsell and cross-sell conversion opportunities.
