Microsoft Ads*
* Bing search and Microsoft network advertising platform
WHAT IT IS
Microsoft Ads (formerly Bing Ads) is a search advertising platform that allows businesses to display ads across the Microsoft Search Network, including Bing, Yahoo, AOL, and partner sites. It offers search ads, shopping ads, audience ads, and Microsoft Audience Network placements.
WHY IT MATTERS
While Google dominates search, Microsoft's network reaches 36% of US desktop searches and attracts an audience with higher average income and education levels. With less competition, Microsoft Ads typically offers lower CPCs and better ROI than Google for many industries, especially B2B and financial services.
HOW WE DEPLOY IT
We implement Microsoft Ads as both a standalone channel and Google Ads complement: audience targeting leveraging Microsoft's unique LinkedIn integration, Microsoft Shopping campaigns for e-commerce diversification, UET tag implementation for conversion tracking, and cross-platform attribution to understand the full customer journey.
