Bing is now one of the most successful search engines worldwide. It proved its presence in the market by MSN Search and Windows Live Search for the past decade.
Although it has a considerable gap with the market leader, Google, in terms of market size, Bing has become a dominant force on the others.
If you want to catch the full potential of your business, using Bing Ads is highly beneficial.
In this article, we covered a quick and simple guide to use Bing Ads. There is everything you need to know about this pay-per-click (PCC) platform.
There are a few simple steps that you should follow:
Get an Account for Advertising on Bing
Since Bing Network is a Microsoft service, you should have a mail address on Microsoft’s mail service first. Fun fact, before the name “Bing,” this advertising platform was called Microsoft Ads or Microsoft AdCenter. After you have this address (@outlook or @hotmail, for example), you are ready to create your Bing Ads Account.
Microsoft’s service background may show that you will have fewer problems than you will have if you work with more inexperienced companies. It would help if you always kept in mind that servers and infrastructure is essential in digital marketing.
You Need to Decide the Content
This step is not actually specialized for Bing. You should decide on your content in this step, even if you choose another ad group, such as Facebook Ads or Google Ads (AdSense). Decisions that you will make on the next steps form on this step.
Content Marketing is probably the most critical part of Digital Marketing today. Thus, choose wisely. Your content must be convenient for immediate consumption. People will be exposed to these ads, maybe just for a few minutes, so you should get to the point quickly. Of course, you may follow a different path; however, it is the best way for a beginner.
Customize Advertising Options on PPC Ads
PPC ( Pay-per-click) is maybe the most efficient way to boost your content on social media or search results. Like Google enables search results on the search engine by Google AdWords, a Bing Ads Campaign will increase your monthly searches and access to your content on Bing Search. Furthermore, just like other services do in PPC advertising, Bing PPC is priced according to some factors, such as search volume, demographics, location, age, gender, etc. You may want to consider these factors during your customization process. These factors affect the all-over price significantly.
Besides the price, the customization step will help you target your audience much more correctly. When you target accordingly with your target segment, you will see that this will not only result in higher search rates, but also will boost your sales (or whatever your organization’s goal is). If you wonder about an example different from sales goals, you may think you have a charity organization. If you create a PPC ad for your organization, you may gather much more donations from people who have been exposed to this ad. You can see that a lot of politicians or political figures use these kinds of ads to reach people easily. All in all, you see that there are much more reasons to use digital marketing rather than just sales goals.
Wait for Your Advertisement’s Approval
After all, you need to wait for the approval of your content. It will be approved or rejected within 48 hours. If It is not approved, you may try to change a few parts of your advertisement, or you may contact Microsoft Advertising.
We should say that the approval process is a must to avoid unwanted or destructive content. Therefore, you should understand that this is necessary, and you should be patient.
