Google Ads consists of two advertising networks:
- The search network: Advertisers create text ads that appear on the search engine results page (SERP) (example below)
- Display Network: Advertisers create display ads that appear on a variety of websites across the internet
Bing, on the other hand, has 3 search engines – Bing, Yahoo and AOL.
So if you advertise on one platform, your ad will actually appear on all three. This opens up campaigns for searchers across all Bing, Yahoo, and AOL owned and operated sites, as well as various partner sites.
In addition to increased visibility, Bing enables advertisers to reach older and more educated audiences.
What Bing lacks in volume, it certainly makes up for in performance. With Bing PPC, businesses have far less competition for advertisers. So clicks are cheaper and advertisers get more for their dollar. In fact, the average cost per click on Bing ads can be as much as 70% lower compared to AdWords.
However, when comparing costs for each ad platform, keep in mind that Bing and Google don't always get the same traffic.
History of Bing Ads (Microsoft Ads)
The beginning of Bing Ads was in 2006, much later than Google started with it. Microsoft created its own advertising network. It was called MSN adCenter and worked with Yahoo. However, this cooperation ended at the end of 2006 and Microsoft continued on its own. Microsoft continued to expand its SEA knowledge and only worked with its own search engine MSN. In 2010 Microsoft founded the Microsoft Search Alliance, a renewed cooperation with Yahoo. This exists to this day and was in 2012 in Yahoo! BingNetwork renamed what to today Bing Ads led.
functions and tools
Bing Ads offer a variety of tools to optimize your advertising measures. The management of your SEA campaigns done via the editor. This is a desktop tool that allows you to Campaigns and your Keywords can change. With Google, such changes can only be made online, with Bing there is another desktop tool with Microsoft Advertising Intelligence to be able to adjust your keywords offline as well. Up to 200.000 keywords can be stored for this.
Each campaign in turn consists of different ad groups. You can now store numerous texts and keywords for this display group.
Especially for Windows users, the Operation very easy be. The ad can be previewed from the Bing Ads account.
After creating a Bing Ads account, the platform offers advertisers the option to import their existing Google AdWords campaigns directly into Bing Ads. With just a few clicks, your campaign is up and running without having to create everything from scratch. ads off Google AdWords are therefore easy import, but there are a few things to note (see below Tips).
Prices for Bing Ads depend on the competitive strength and the quality of the keywords. Popular keywords therefore cost more to appear higher in the search engine. Billing takes place CPC basis (cost per click), so you only pay if the interested party clicks on the ad. You can set the price for a click as you wish, until you have reached your desired position in the search engine.
There are also various targeting options, such as switching by geographic or time-related criteria. In this way, the ads can be controlled more specifically according to the desired targeting criteria.
Higher engagement and conversion rates
Bing users who click PPC ads tend to be more engaged with the post-click websites and landing pages they are sent to. They also convert at much higher rates. The aforementioned Search Engine People study found that in the automotive industry, users converted at 10% to 56% higher conversion rates than Google ads.
Improved device targeting
For Bing Ads, Google AdWords outperformed device targeting because targeting to mobile ads with AdWords can be limited. Bing allows advertisers to target specific audiences based on their device type and operating system. It also offers the option of not showing campaign ads on desktops if you only want to target mobile users.
Increased control over ad groups
Bing offers more granular targeting at the ad group level. While Google allows advertisers to set their network, location, language, ad scheduling, and ad rotation settings at the campaign level, ad groups are limited to their campaign-level settings. With Bing Ads, customizations can also be made at the ad group level. Bing also allows advertisers to assign different ad campaigns to different time zones -- a feature AdWords doesn't offer.
Bing Ads Remarketing & Retargeting
With the exception of display advertising in the partner network, retargeting with the appropriate remarketing strategy is just as possible as with Google Ads.
More transparency
Bing is completely transparent when disclosing details about its search partners, allowing advertisers to see exactly where their traffic is coming from. The platform provides detailed reports on each search partner's performance in a campaign, including details on all metrics, from impressions to conversions.
