After the long discussion, in the summer of 2022, we finally made an agreement on testing ad campaigns on a new platform. We proposed testing Microsoft Ads. This is an advertising platform that allows businesses to display their ads on Microsoft's search engine, Bing, and its partner networks such as Yahoo and AOL. Although it has a smaller market share than Google, it still attracts a significant number of users, making it a valuable platform for businesses to consider.
Clients are often hesitant to invest in Microsoft Ads because they believe the platform is not widely used, but in March 2023, Microsoft announced that Bing is used every day by 100 million people worldwide, making it a viable option for businesses. Another benefit of Microsoft Ads is its lower competition, which can result in lower cost-per-click and higher ad placements for businesses. Additionally, Microsoft Ads allows businesses to import their campaigns from Google Ads, making it easier to manage and optimize their campaigns across multiple platforms.
After receiving approval from the client, the agency launched campaigns on Microsoft Ads and optimized them in the following ways: expanding the regions where the ads were shown, working with bids and bid adjustments, and pausing ineffective keywords and ad groups while focusing on effective ones.
