The problem this solves

The gap most search strategies leave open

Advertisers treat search as a synonym for Google and leave Microsoft's network — Bing, Edge, and AI-assisted search surfaces — entirely to the few competitors who bothered to show up.

That inattention is the opportunity: identical buying intent, thinner auctions, lower CPCs. For B2B, finance, healthcare, and older-skewing consumer products, Microsoft often produces the cheapest qualified leads in the whole mix.

What's included

Google Import, Done Right

Import tooling used as a starting point, then bids, negatives, and budgets re-tuned for Microsoft's auction.

Shopping Campaigns

Product feeds through Microsoft Merchant Center for e-commerce demand capture.

LinkedIn Profile Targeting

Microsoft's unique edge: bid adjustments by industry, company, and job function on search.

Microsoft conversions in the same GA4 and CRM reporting as everything else.

FAQ

Common questions

Hundreds of millions of searches a day — heavily desktop, workplace, and 35-plus. If you sell to professionals, homeowners, or B2B buyers, a meaningful slice of your market searches there.

Import is the start, not the strategy. Bids, budgets, negatives, and device modifiers all behave differently on Microsoft's auction and need native tuning within the first fortnight.

Commonly 20–40% below Google for comparable keywords, though it varies by industry. The discount narrows in finance and insurance where sophisticated advertisers already compete.

Usually not — its volume is a fraction of Google's. It's the efficient second search channel: same intent, lower cost, added reach. I run it as an extension of a search strategy, not the core.

Let’s build a system that keeps growing.
