Chose Microsoft Advertising
Microsoft is the best if you want to target the USA business; it has a great standing against these other platforms.
Chose Microsoft Advertising
We're using both. Basically using directly importation from google to Microsoft Advertising. If you already run ads on google, it's very easy to copy the structure on Microsoft Advertising as well.
Chose Microsoft Advertising
In my opinion, Microsoft Ads is definitely inferior to Google Ads as a platform, but there's no reason you can't use both. We have never chosen Microsoft Ads solely over Google Ads, it's only a supplement because Google Ads provides so much more scale potential from its search …
Chose Microsoft Advertising
Because of duckduckgo we have to use Microsoft advertising and it turns out as the worst user experience given the company of this magnitude. Worst.

This is a platform that had potential if only it was run by ethically minded people. It's not.

Not a good experience I will you skippable ads on Youtube.
Chose Microsoft Advertising
Technically, there is no comparison with the above systems - just a lack of features and a bunch of technical bugs.
Chose Microsoft Advertising
The cost per click is definitely lower than Google Ads. But the drawback of it is that the audience size is smaller as well. The reason we picked Microsoft Advertising is that it is a good complementary solution to Google Ads. We use both of them with different budgets and we …

Microsoft Advertising supports Google Ads integration, one of the efficient paid search engine extension. More so, Microsoft Advertising has a responsive, and informative live chat option, simplifying the customer help services. Microsoft Advertising supports conversion …

Microsoft advertising is a creative, and diverse marketing option, which makes it preferred by many enterprises. The success rate of Microsoft advertising due to its stability and consistency is another huge merit, and this results to practical results. Finally, Microsoft …

Obviously Google is a huge competitor. Typically Google is top of the game for many advertising solutions including search. Microsoft ads has a lower scale and reach compared to Google. However, Microsoft ads audience does not overlap much with Googles, providing incremental …
Chose Microsoft Advertising
Microsoft Advertising has more trustworthy and reliable keyword targeting, but the volume is much lower on Bing.com and related networks than on Google.com and related networks. The display capabilities and performance is lower on Bing as well. The import tool is easy to use …
Chose Microsoft Advertising
It's a smaller market and different demographic, but CPCs can be lower so your ROI can be decent. Overall the interface feels a bit clunky and it's hard to find some features, but that may be because I spend most of my time in Google Ads.

We picked Microsoft Ads because it's …
Chose Microsoft Advertising
[Microsoft Advertising (formerly Bing Ads)] has access to superior traffic volume and ability / capability to spend ad dollars. [Microsoft Advertising (formerly Bing Ads)] is really the only paid search advertising option that competes with google ads in any capacity whether …
Chose Microsoft Advertising
Unfortunately, I don't think anyone has been able to properly and effectively compete with Google. They are the mammoth in the space - so therefore, I don't think either Bing or Gemini have had a fair shot to showcase their potential worth.
Again, I have found it very difficult …
Chose Microsoft Advertising
Bing Ads has a bit less traffic, however, its syndicated network is preferred because we can see where traffic is coming from. I would like to see custom mods for publisher sites to become a feature.
Chose Microsoft Advertising
You have lower volume on Bing ads but the traffic is usually better and you get lower CPC with higher conversion rates.
Chose Microsoft Advertising
Bing Ads works similarly to Google Ads (Formerly AdWords) in the fact that it is search engine marketing. It differs in how it reaches a slightly more educated audience, has lower CPC (less competition) and often a better ROI. "Green technologies", solar, wind, etc. work …
Chose Microsoft Advertising
Bing Ads is an excellent complement to Google Ads because most likely, it is reaching a different audience. Depending on where your traffic is coming from, one search engine may be better to focus on than the other.
Chose Microsoft Advertising
Less cost than Google Ads but smaller audience. The interface is not as user-friendly and it is somewhat slow. The Bing Ads audience is smaller as they only have about 20% of the search market place. So you are limited by the number of searches vs. budget usually.
Chose Microsoft Advertising
In general, Bing Ads as an alternative to Google Ads is pretty weak. As mentioned, while it does have its use cases, many times these are limited as well. With Bing, it seems like there is always a large drop off in the quality of traffic versus advertising products, which …
Chose Microsoft Advertising
Bing is definitely most comparable to Google; in terms of audience sizes, it has about 30% of the traffic that Google Ads can drive; however, its costs are much more efficient, and this additional inventory is less competitive. Additionally, Bing has some features not available …
Chose Microsoft Advertising
As mentioned, it is overall more cost effective and you cannot afford to ignore all that Search traffic.

Despite using our account for advertising with every other social media company, Microsoft flagged ours as fraudulent. After dealing with them for weeks, we finally got to a manager, who said that they didn’t know anything, couldn’t provide any information, and was unable to do anything about it. It seems odd, but it would flagger account every time we try to upload the campaigns from Google directly into their ad manager. I would suggest if you try and use their platform, don’t tell them you’re using Google cause they seem to have a thing against it. Once your account is flagged, they have no reasonable way of resolving it, nor they are able to offer any support. You’re better off to just try a different way. Ultimately, just don’t use Microsoft advertising if you can possibly avoid it. Hopefully soon DuckDuckGo will have their own advertising platform and we can eliminate Microsoft given the terrible time we have working with this one of many, social media platforms.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • Bing's ad platform could definitely use some improvements - it hasn't been updated in a long time, and it feels very outdated.
  • We feel that the optimization algorithms don't always perform as well for Bing Ads as they do in Google Ads (optimize for conversions, etc.).
  • It would be great to have even more integrations with LinkedIn audience targeting offered - right now, you can just make some bid optimizations in a couple of areas; we'd really like to get more robust options there, and maybe even things like cross-platform tracking.

It's very easy to use overall. It has an import from Google Ads to make things simpler. Overall, I would say you can get up and running very quickly. It's similar to other platforms, so if you have used them, it's intuitive.

Our Bing Ads reps are very good and attentive. They've offered good recommendations and are quick to resolve unexpected issues and problems. Occasionally they have roped in technical support folks that have been friendly and helpful too. The general helpline for Bing Ads is also very good, especially when compared to Google's customer support.

Obviously Google is a huge competitor. Typically Google is top of the game for many advertising solutions including search. Microsoft ads has a lower scale and reach compared to Google. However, Microsoft ads audience does not overlap much with Googles, providing incremental reach. Although Microsoft ads lags a bit behind in adapting the new updates that Google comes out with, their customer service is very good and they are likely to go out of their way to adapt their platform to your needs whereas their competitor does not

  • We've had a very hard time spending our budgets on Bing which has caused us a lot of extra work on our end. We've essentially had to move that money back to Google or other platforms.
  • It does have an easy import from Google so you're not doubling efforts.
  • The CPCs tend to be less expensive than Google - which is always good for business owners.

AdNativia Screenshots

Screenshot of a dashboard screenshot from AdNativia that provides an overview of an advertiser’s account performance. The interface displays key metrics such as the total number of ads running, impressions, clicks, and overall spend, allowing for tracking and analysis of advertising campaigns. With a glance, one can appreciate the volume of traffic generated and the efficacy of the ads, highlighted by the number of clicks versus impressions. The graph at the bottom illustrates the trends over the last 30 days, presenting a comparative view of CPC impressions, clicks, and click-through rate (CTR) against the budget spent. This visual representation is an example of AdNativia’s approach to data transparency and its commitment to enabling advertisers to monitor and optimize their campaigns.Screenshot of a screenshot from the AdNativia platform that showcases the 'Manage Your Ads' section, which provides a user-friendly and efficient management system for advertisers' campaigns. The interface reveals various options for each ad campaign, such as the ability to edit, pause, or even clone an ad, giving advertisers the flexibility to quickly duplicate successful campaigns without starting from scratch. Each ad is listed with an ID, name, pricing model (CPC - Cost Per Click), current status (e.g., Active), and type (Text + Image Ad).Screenshot of a screenshot that displays the 'Create Ad' interface of the AdNativia platform, highlighting the initial step in crafting an advertisement. Here, advertisers can begin the ad creation process by entering essential details such as the ad's name, title, and the click-through URL that leads potential customers to their designated webpage. 

The process's step-by-step progression marked at the top, guides users from ad information to pricing, to ensure a seamless creation experience.Screenshot of a screenshot that presents the 'Traffic Filter' feature within the AdNativia platform, a tool that enables advertisers to curate the flow of traffic towards their ads. With options such as "Whitelist" or "Blacklist," advertisers can specify whether to exclusively allow or block traffic from certain sources. The "Filter By" dropdown menu is set to "Publisher ID," suggesting that advertisers can target or exclude specific publishers from displaying their ads.

Below this, the "ID List" textbox awaits a list of Publisher IDs, separated by commas, which provides a straightforward method for advertisers to fine-tune where their ads will appear. This specificity allows for greater control over the ad spend and enhances the ability to target ads more effectively to the desired audience.

The addition of macro commands offers advanced customization for tracking and optimizing ad performance. Macros like `{CAMPAIGN_ID}`, `{USER_IP}`, `{COUNTRY}`, `{DOMAIN_ID}`, `{DOMAIN_ENC}`, `{PUBLISHER_ID}`, `{PLACEMENT_ID}`, `{CLICK_ID}`, and `{CLICK_COST}` can dynamically insert relevant data points into the ad URLs, allowing for granular tracking of user interaction with the ads. These tools are essential for advertisers who want to analyze data and optimize their campaigns based on user behavior and ad placement performance.Screenshot of The screenshot highlights the 'Budget Settings' section of the AdNativia platform, where advertisers can fine-tune their campaign costs according to the quality of traffic they desire. With options to select from Top Level, Middle, and Low traffic quality, each with corresponding Cost Per Click (CPC) rates, advertisers have the flexibility to allocate their budget efficiently. 

For precise budget management, the platform allows setting different CPC rates for each traffic quality tier—Top Level CPC, Middle Level CPC, and Low Level CPC—with minimum rate thresholds to maintain competitive pricing.
