Exceed Your Objectives With Microsoft Bing Advertising

Microsoft advertising, formerly known as ‘Bing Ads’, is a paid advertising platform offering of Pay-Per-Click ads (or ‘ ‘PPC’). Next to Google advertising, many think it is the ‘poor relation’, that doesn’t get enough traffic. Not so…Despite Microsoft ads attracting a smaller audience compared to Google, you can still reach hundreds of millions of  potential customers, who don’t rely on Google for their daily information and product searches.  In fact, there are many ‘independent’ types who don’t want to hand all of the control over to ‘big brother’.

Although Bing only has 2.86% of the worlds search engine market share, which seems like a small percentage when you compare it to Google, in real terms, Bing still benefits from 1.08 Billion unique monthly visitors and 12 Billion monthly searches globally.  This is colossal and also a best kept secret in the marketing agency world.

Microsoft claim that 500,000 advertisers post ads to Bing. Half a million advertisers sounds like a lot and it shows a massive vote of confidence in the Microsoft Advertising platform.  Nevertheless, this may well be a fraction of the tens of millions of advertisers that use Google Ads, but it is not only still massive global reach, but for PPC marketing managers it is a gift, because this also means there’s much less competition on Bing’s Search Engine Result Pages (SERP’s).

Bing’s comparatively lower traffic and user-base means it may not be considered as the leading sales channel for driving traffic, leads and sales to your business, but this is a wonderfully affordable advertising strategy.  Its lower saturation with ads trying to out-compete each other, means its higher chances of exposure can often be leveraged to stand out among your competition.  Also, Bing ads  drive high quality traffic. Ads on Bing benefit from higher click-through-rate (CTR) and most notably, a 30% lower cost-per-click (CPC) compared to Google ads. This is a boon to your marketing capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions About Microsoft Advertising

If you are planning to drive additional sales to your eCommerce store, Bing shopping ads could be a great sales addition to your omni-channel sales funnel.

Bing shopping ads largely work the same as Google Shopping ads , allowing you to showcase your products in impactful ways, with ads that include product images, prices, reviews and your brand’s name.

Shopping ads, in particular, allow you to stand out in the noisy crowd to grab increased market share.  Your marketing team can more easily entice your potential customers closer to making a purchase decision, before they even click on your products, when you choose to showcase your promoted products against relevant search queries.

Expanding your reach is an on-going drive for businesses to maintain market share and build against a backdrop of squeezed profit margins and expanding R&D budgets, which puts pressure on marketing budgets.  

Microsoft Display Advertising offers businesses various channels to advertise, including household brands, such as: ‘Xbox’, ‘MSN’, ‘Windows OS’, ‘Microsoft Edge’ and ‘Outlook’. 

MSN, powered by Microsoft News alone attracts half a Billion monthly users;

Outlook reaches a further 225 million monthly unique visitors.  It’s not difficult then to see how you can connect with a diverse and engaged audience of 63 million new users of Xbox alone every month.  If you want even more reasons to give Bing serious consideration, don’t just take our word for it, display advertising is a huge part of Microsoft revenues.

Every business is different and perhaps the nature of your business or a limited budget may mean that you might not want to prioritise Bing Ads for prospecting new customers. However, Microsoft Ads can complement your wider marketing funnel, building on advertising to your existing audiences and customers in new ways.

It may be that a significant portion for your targeted audience is using one or more of Microsoft’s massive platforms. So, if you want to meet your buyers where they are, why miss those various opportunities to catch them where they are at home to serve the same kinds of needs your audiences have.

Of course there are alternative paid search advertising options to going one route or the other; Bing and Google Ads campaigns can combine powerfully when run simultaneously and costs need not be prohibitive.   Together, both channels can amplify your message to more diverse audiences, with Bing Ads picking up the slack and allowing you to reach further for comparatively less.
