On 30th April 2019, Bing Ads<\/a> re-branded as Microsoft Advertising. Where some of the confusion lies is with the name of the search engine. However, there is not supposed to be any form of confusion with the name change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new name is more than just a brand play; it’s a way for Microsoft to signal a more substantial change in targeting capabilities and data usage. As Microsoft’s ads can now serve on Bing, Yahoo<\/a>, MSN, and AOL networks<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Ads (Bing ads) remains the strongest competitor to Google Ads<\/a> in terms of paid search advertising<\/a>. Many users consider the two platforms as competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of functionality, Bing PPC ads work similarly to Google ads. You bid on keywords based on their traffic volume, then your ad is displayed when that keyword is searched, and finally, you pay Microsoft (Bing) whenever a visitor clicks on your ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, undoubtedly, Google has the majority of the search market making it the unchallenged leader in the search market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So depending on your budget, using Microsoft Ads (Bing ads) can be more cost-effective than Google Ads<\/a>. With one ad buy through Microsoft Ads, you can reach 24 million unique searchers on the Microsoft Search Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Ads (Bing ads) market share is growing every year. Microsoft ads give you access to an older and financially stronger audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now all of the benefits that Microsoft ads offer, you should be thinking of how to incorporate them into your advertising journey. To do this, you need to own an ad account with the second-place search engine giant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Microsoft account gives you access to Microsoft products and services with just one login. Here’s how to set up your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
