Import, then diverge
Importing from Google is the right start and the wrong finish. Match types, audiences and device performance differ enough that a copied account underperforms within weeks.
PPC Management
Microsoft Ads (Bing)
Microsoft Advertising across Bing, Yahoo and DuckDuckGo. Smaller volume, less competition, and in several B2B and older-demographic categories a noticeably cheaper cost per acquisition.

The problem
Most advertisers skip Microsoft because the volume is a fraction of Google, and in doing so leave the cheapest qualified traffic in their category untouched. Those who do run it usually import the Google account once and never touch it again.
How we do it
What the work actually involves
The audience is genuinely different
Older, higher household income, and heavily weighted toward desktop and workplace machines where Edge is the default. For B2B and considered purchases that is a favourable skew, and bidding should reflect it.
LinkedIn profile targeting
Microsoft owns LinkedIn, so search campaigns can layer company, industry and job function targeting. No other search platform offers that, and for B2B it is the strongest reason to be here.

Book a callUsually, because incremental effort on top of an existing Google account is small and cost per lead is often lower. If your Google account is at a spend cap and still profitable, this is one of the cheaper places to find more of the same traffic.
