Microsoft Ads Management

Lower-cost leads from the channel your rivals ignore.

Microsoft Advertising puts you in front of an older, higher-income, business-heavy audience most of your competitors ignore, usually at a lower cost per click. We run it alongside your other search campaigns as one connected lead generation system.

Why Microsoft Ads

An underused channel with real advantages.

Most service businesses pour everything into Google and never look at Microsoft. That leaves a valuable, lower-cost audience wide open.

Lower cost per click

Fewer advertisers competing for the same searches means your budget stretches further, often at a noticeably lower cost per click than Google.

Less competition

Most of your rivals are not on Microsoft. You compete against far fewer advertisers for the same high-intent, commercial searches.

A different audience

Microsoft skews older, higher-income and business-heavy. It is the default across Windows, Edge and Office, so it reaches decision-makers at work.

The audience Google misses

Reach the buyers your competitors are not.

Microsoft Advertising is the default across Windows, Edge and Office, so it reaches a lot of people at work, on corporate machines, who never see your Google ads. They tend to be older, higher-income, and more likely to be business owners or employees making real buying decisions.

Run alongside your Google campaigns, it captures demand you are otherwise missing, usually at a lower cost. We build and manage both so they work as one system.

What is included

Everything that goes into the channel.

The full set of what we build and manage for you, included as standard, not sold as bolt-on extras.

Microsoft Search campaigns

Search campaigns built around the same high-intent, commercial keywords that drive your best enquiries.

Google import & rebuild

We import your Google campaigns as a starting point, then rebuild and tune them for how people actually search on Microsoft.

LinkedIn profile targeting

Microsoft is the only search platform with LinkedIn targeting, so we can layer on company, industry and job-function signals.

Conversion tracking & data

The Microsoft UET tag, GA4 and conversion tracking set up correctly, so every decision rests on reliable data.

Ad creation

Headlines, descriptions, extensions and structure written to attract qualified prospects and filter out poor-fit clicks.

Landing pages & reporting

Conversion-focused landing page advice, plus plain reporting on cost per lead, lead quality and revenue across both channels.

The process

How a Microsoft Ads account comes together.

A structured framework, the same one that runs through everything we do. Most of the build happens in the first week; optimisation never stops.

01
Discovery & analysis
We get to know your business, services and ideal customers, and review your site and any existing Google or Microsoft Ads before we touch a campaign.
02
Strategic planning
We set the strategy, targeting and keyword plan, build the tracking, and decide where LinkedIn profile targeting can sharpen who you reach.
03
Setup & launch
We import from Google where it helps, then rebuild the campaigns, tracking and ad assets. Everything is reviewed with you before a penny goes live.
04
Monitor & optimise
We analyse performance and improve it: keywords, bids, search terms, budgets and audience signals, all measured against cost per lead and lead quality.
05
Conversion improvement
We recommend landing page and website changes that lift conversion rates, so more of the cheaper Microsoft traffic turns into enquiries.
06
Scale & rebalance
As the data proves what works, we scale the winning campaigns and rebalance budget between Google and Microsoft for the best blended return.
The case for both

Running Google alone leaves money on the table.

Microsoft will not replace Google. Run together, they reach more of the right people for less.

Google on its own

What most businesses settle for.

  • A cheaper, less crowded channel left on the table.
  • Premium Google cost per click on every single lead.
  • Competing head-on with every rival in your market.
  • That older, business-heavy audience never sees you.
  • One channel, so one point of failure.

Google and Microsoft together

How we run it.

  • A cheaper, less crowded channel added to the mix.
  • A lower blended cost per lead across both platforms.
  • Less competition for the same high-intent searches.
  • LinkedIn profile targeting to reach decision-makers.
  • Two channels balanced for the best return, by one team.

Who it is for

Built to complement your Google Ads.

A strong fit if

  • You already run Google Ads and want more from the same budget.
  • You sell to an older, higher-income or business audience.
  • Lead quality matters, and a good customer is worth a lot to you.
  • You want a cheaper channel to test without betting the whole budget.

Probably not right if

  • You have no budget beyond a very small Google spend.
  • Your customers are almost entirely young, mobile-first consumers.
  • You want to hand it all off and never discuss the strategy.
  • You are not able to share access to your ad accounts and analytics.

If your audience is not on Microsoft in any meaningful way, we will say so on the first call and keep your budget where it works.

FAQ

Common questions about Microsoft Ads.

Is Microsoft Ads worth it if I already run Google?

For most service businesses, yes. It reaches people Google does not, usually at a lower cost per click, so it adds cheaper leads rather than taking from Google. We will tell you on the first call if it is not worth it for you.

How much cheaper is Microsoft than Google?

It varies by industry, but cost per click is often noticeably lower because far fewer advertisers compete. We will not promise a number up front, but bringing down your blended cost per lead is usually the point.

Do I need to start from scratch?

No. We import your existing Google campaigns as a starting point, then rebuild and tune them for how people search on Microsoft. It is a fast way to get live without losing what already works.

What is LinkedIn profile targeting?

Microsoft is the only search platform that lets you target by LinkedIn company, industry and job function. For business-to-business and high-value services, it is a powerful way to put your ads in front of actual decision-makers.

Will it take budget away from Google?

Not unless that is the right move. Usually it is additional, lower-cost reach. We balance spend across both channels based on what produces the best return, and we are clear about why.

What if Microsoft Ads is not right for my business?

We will tell you. If your audience is not on Microsoft in any meaningful way, we will say so and focus your budget where it works. We would rather be straight with you than sell you a channel you do not need.
