Microsoft Ads FAQs
What is Microsoft Advertising and how does it differ from Google Ads?
Microsoft Advertising is the platform that powers ads across the Microsoft Search Network (including Bing, Yahoo and AOL) and the Microsoft Audience Network. The platform reaches over 700 million unique desktop searchers worldwide who are not using Google.
Microsoft ads typically have lower competition levels than Google Ads, resulting in better ad positions and lower cost-per-click rates. The audience demographic tends to be older, more educated and with higher income levels. Priority Pixels recommends running microsoft advertising campaigns alongside Google Ads to maximise reach and capture valuable audiences that may be missed on a single platform.
What types of businesses benefit most from Microsoft Ads?
B2B companies, professional services firms and organisations targeting senior decision-makers often see strong results from microsoft advertising. The platform’s integration with LinkedIn for targeting makes it particularly effective for reaching specific professional audiences based on industry, job function and company size.
Microsoft ads also perform well for businesses targeting demographics that align with the platform’s user base, including higher-income consumers and older age groups. Priority Pixels has successfully implemented microsoft advertising campaigns for technology companies, financial services, education providers and public sector organisations. The platform provides valuable opportunities for most businesses seeking to expand their digital reach beyond Google.
How much budget should we allocate to Microsoft Ads?
Effective microsoft ads budgets vary based on industry, competition levels and business objectives. Priority Pixels typically recommends starting with 20-30% of your existing Google Ads budget when launching microsoft advertising campaigns, allowing for meaningful data collection while managing investment risk.
The ideal budget determination considers factors including keyword competition, target audience size and conversion goals. Priority Pixels conducts forecasting analysis to estimate traffic potential and cost expectations before finalising budget recommendations. Once campaigns demonstrate performance patterns, budgets can be adjusted based on actual return on advertising spend, gradually scaling investment in the most productive microsoft ads campaigns.
How long does it take to see results from Microsoft Ads?
Initial performance indicators from microsoft advertising campaigns typically emerge within 2-4 weeks of launch. This period allows for accumulation of click data, early conversions and establishment of quality scores. The platform requires sufficient data to optimise effectively, so patience during this initial phase is important.
More comprehensive performance patterns become visible after 8-12 weeks, providing sufficient data for meaningful optimisation. Priority Pixels implements a phased approach to microsoft ads management, focusing first on establishing baseline performance before applying more sophisticated optimisation techniques. The timescale for achieving specific business objectives varies based on competition levels, market conditions and campaign complexity.
Can Microsoft Ads target specific geographic areas?
Microsoft advertising offers precise geographic targeting options that allow campaigns to focus on specific countries, regions, cities or custom radius areas around particular locations. This capability ensures ads display only to users in relevant service areas or target markets.
Priority Pixels implements geographic targeting strategies based on business requirements, including localised campaigns for specific service areas and broader campaigns for products with wider market potential. The platform’s location targeting can be combined with bid adjustments to increase visibility in high-performing areas. This approach maximises the efficiency of microsoft ads by concentrating investment where it generates the strongest returns.
How do you measure the success of Microsoft Ads campaigns?
Success measurement for microsoft advertising campaigns aligns with specific business objectives. For lead generation campaigns, Priority Pixels tracks conversion metrics including form submissions, phone calls and content downloads. For e-commerce, measurement focuses on transactions, revenue and return on ad spend.
Beyond conversion metrics, comprehensive evaluation examines quality indicators including click-through rates, bounce rates and engagement metrics. Priority Pixels implements proper attribution modelling to understand how microsoft ads contribute to the overall customer journey. Regular performance reviews assess campaigns against predetermined KPIs and benchmark data, ensuring continuous improvement and alignment with business goals.
Do Microsoft Ads work for B2B marketing?

Priority Pixels has implemented successful microsoft advertising strategies for numerous B2B clients, including technology providers, professional services firms and industrial suppliers. These campaigns connect businesses with decision-makers during active solution research phases. The platform’s audience composition, which typically includes more senior professionals, makes microsoft ads an effective channel for B2B organisations seeking qualified business leads.

This balanced approach ensures campaigns receive consistent attention while allowing sufficient data accumulation between major changes.
The optimisation process includes bid adjustments, keyword refinements, ad copy testing and audience targeting enhancements.
