Microsoft Ads specialists who make your budget go further.

Microsoft Advertising reaches people Google does not: searchers on Bing, Yahoo, AOL and DuckDuckGo, Windows and Edge users, and the professionals Copilot and LinkedIn profile targeting can find. Our PPC analysts do not just copy your Google campaigns across. We import what works, then tune bids, negative keywords, ad schedules, devices and audiences for how Microsoft’s searchers actually behave, and run Shopping and Performance Max from the same product feed. Because clicks often cost less, the same budget can buy more visibility and more leads. Conversion and call tracking are set up from day one, and your Client Hub shows Microsoft next to Google, with spend, leads, cost per lead and revenue side by side.

Microsoft Ads vs Google Ads, more clicks for the budget.

We run both platforms side by side for many of the same businesses. Microsoft typically takes about 13% of the budget and brings in 18% of the clicks.

  • Cost per click

    3 in 4 businesses paid less per click on Microsoft.

  • Cost per 1,000 impressions

    Microsoft Ads $23 versus Google Ads $37: 38% lower.

    The same budget buys more visibility.

  • Average order value

    Microsoft Ads $339 versus Google Ads $279: $60 more per order.

    Nearly 9 in 10 of the online stores we compared saw bigger orders on Microsoft.

  • Clicks on weekends

    One ad schedule works for both platforms.

Microsoft Ads questions, answered

A monthly management fee, plus your ad spend, which is paid straight to Microsoft. Setup is free, and you get a written proposal with the scope and fee before you sign. The minimum ad budget is set by campaign type, not per platform, so adding Microsoft to Google does not double it; see PPC management for the minimums and what the fee covers.

For most businesses, yes. Microsoft reaches searchers on Bing, Yahoo, AOL and DuckDuckGo who may never see your Google ads, and clicks often cost less because fewer advertisers compete for them. It works best as an addition to Google, sharing the keywords and offers that already convert.

Often, but not always. In the accounts we run on both platforms, clicks usually cost less on Microsoft, but it depends on your industry and competition. We compare cost per lead and return on ad spend on both before moving budget.

Yes, and that is usually where we start. We import your best campaigns, then adjust bids, negative keywords, ad schedules and audiences for Microsoft's searchers instead of leaving a straight copy running.

Video and connected TV placements are available too, with connected TV billed as an additional platform.

Yes. Microsoft Shopping and Performance Max run from your Merchant Center feed, the same one your Google Shopping ads use. See our ecommerce ads management for how we manage feeds and bidding.
