Audience Research & Targeting Setup
Microsoft’s unique audience data sources provide unparalleled access to professional demographics and company intelligence. We build custom audiences combining LinkedIn professional data with Microsoft search behaviours, creating precise targeting for technology decision-makers. Audience research identifies the job titles, company sizes and industry verticals most likely to convert.
Professional targeting capabilities allow campaigns to reach specific technology roles during their active research phases. We analyse Microsoft’s audience insights to understand when technology professionals engage with advertising content, optimising bid schedules for maximum visibility. Custom audiences combine first-party data with Microsoft’s professional insights, creating highly qualified prospect pools.
Lookalike audience development expands reach to similar professional profiles based on existing customer data.

Technology keyword research goes beyond basic industry terms, identifying specific pain points and solution searches within Microsoft’s platform. We analyse search query reports to understand how technology buyers describe their challenges, building keyword lists that match actual search behaviour. Long-tail keywords capture high-intent searches with lower competition costs.
Campaign structure reflects technology service complexity, with dedicated campaigns for different solution categories and geographic markets. We create tightly themed ad groups that improve quality scores and ad relevance, reducing cost-per-click whilst improving ad position. Negative keyword lists prevent irrelevant traffic and protect budget allocation for qualified searches.
Keyword bidding strategies balance cost efficiency with visibility requirements, using automated bidding where appropriate whilst maintaining manual control over high-value terms. We implement keyword expansion based on search term performance, continuously growing campaigns with proven converting keywords. Regular keyword performance analysis identifies opportunities to improve campaign efficiency and expand market reach.

Ad Copy Development & Creative Testing
Technology ad copy speaks directly to business challenges and solution benefits, avoiding technical jargon that confuses decision-makers. We develop multiple ad variations for each campaign, testing headlines and descriptions that resonate with different buyer personas. Ad copy emphasises business outcomes rather than technical features, connecting with executive-level decision-makers.
Creative testing methodology ensures continuous improvement in ad performance, with statistical significance guiding creative decisions. We test different value propositions, calls-to-action and messaging approaches to identify the most effective combinations. Ad extensions provide additional information and improve ad visibility, including sitelinks, callouts and structured snippets relevant to technology services.
Landing page alignment ensures consistent messaging from ad click to conversion, reducing bounce rates and improving campaign quality scores. We coordinate ad copy with landing page content, maintaining message consistency throughout the conversion funnel. Regular creative refreshes prevent ad fatigue whilst incorporating seasonal messaging and new service offerings.

Landing page alignment with ad messaging ensures consistent user journeys from initial click to conversion.
Conversion rate optimisation focuses on technology buyer preferences, testing different page layouts, form designs and content structures to maximise lead generation. We implement heat mapping and user session recordings to understand how technology decision-makers interact with landing pages, identifying opportunities to streamline the conversion process. A/B testing of headlines, value propositions and calls-to-action drives continuous improvement in page performance.
Technical optimisation ensures landing pages meet Microsoft’s quality guidelines whilst providing exceptional user experiences for technology professionals.
