Bing Ads — The Search Traffic Google Ads Doesn't Reach

Microsoft Advertising puts your ads in front of Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and AOL search traffic — often at a lower cost per click, with LinkedIn targeting no other search platform offers.

The Problem

Most Budgets Ignore a Real, Reachable Audience

Google Ads doesn't cover every search query, on every device, for every person.

Most advertisers put every dollar into Google Ads and never look at Microsoft Advertising, assuming the traffic isn't worth the setup effort. That leaves Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and AOL search traffic on the table entirely, often at a lower cost per click than the identical keyword on Google.

We treat Microsoft Advertising as an incremental channel run alongside Google Ads, importing existing campaign structure where it makes sense and layering in the LinkedIn-based targeting only this platform offers.

When It Matters Most

Signs Bing Ads Could Work for You

A handful of signals point to strong Microsoft Advertising performance.

💼 You're a B2B or Professional Services Business

Bing's demographic and LinkedIn targeting suit B2B and professional audiences well.

📈 Already Winning on Google Ads

Successful Google Search campaigns usually transfer well to Microsoft Advertising.

💵 Rising Google Ads CPCs

Bing often offers lower cost per click on the same keywords due to less competition.

🖥️ Target Desktop-Heavy Audiences

Bing's user base skews more toward desktop use than mobile.

LinkedIn profile targeting lets you reach by company, industry, or job function.

Methodology

Built to Complement Google Ads, Not Duplicate It

Google Ads campaigns imported as a starting point, then adjusted for Bing's audience and competition.

LinkedIn-Layered Targeting

Firmographic targeting added specifically for B2B accounts, not applied blanket to every campaign.

Independent Bid Management

Bids managed against Microsoft Advertising's own auction data, not mirrored from Google settings.

UET-Verified Conversions

Conversion data checked against real sales, not just platform-reported clicks.

Incremental, Not Replacement Budget

Positioned to add reach alongside Google Ads rather than compete with it for the same budget.

FAQ

Bing Ads — Common Questions

What is Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads)?
Microsoft Advertising is the ad platform behind Bing search, and its ads also appear across Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and the AOL partner network, reaching search traffic that Google Ads alone does not cover.
Can I import my existing Google Ads campaigns?
Yes, Microsoft Advertising has a built-in import tool that pulls in campaigns, ad groups, keywords, and ads directly from Google Ads, which speeds up setup considerably for advertisers already running Search campaigns.
Is Bing Ads cheaper than Google Ads?
Cost per click on Microsoft Advertising is often lower than Google Ads in the same category because fewer advertisers bid on the same keywords, though actual cost depends heavily on industry and competition.
What makes Bing's audience different from Google's?
Bing's user base skews toward desktop users, an older demographic, and higher household incomes on average, which can be a strong match for B2B, professional services, and higher-ticket consumer offers.
What is LinkedIn profile targeting on Microsoft Advertising?
Because Microsoft owns LinkedIn, Microsoft Advertising can layer LinkedIn firmographic data - company, industry, and job function - onto search campaigns, a targeting option not available on Google Ads.
Which businesses benefit most from Bing Ads?
B2B companies, professional services, and any advertiser already succeeding on Google Search tend to see the fastest returns, since campaign structure and keyword strategy largely transfer over.
Should I run Bing Ads instead of Google Ads or alongside it?
Bing Ads is almost always run alongside Google Ads rather than instead of it, since it reaches an incremental audience Google doesn't cover rather than replacing Google's larger search volume.
