Placements

Where Microsoft ads appear

Buying works as with Google: search terms, ads, payment per click. The ads run on a different network. What follows are Microsoft’s own statements, retrieved on 11 November 2026.

  • Bing

    Microsoft’s search engine, set as the default on many Windows machines and in the Edge browser.

  • Search partners

    According to Microsoft these include Yahoo, AOL, DuckDuckGo and Ecosia.

  • Copilot

    Microsoft reports ads in Copilot for German, French and English-speaking markets. There is no country list, and Switzerland is not named explicitly.

  • Shopping

    Microsoft’s documentation lists Shopping Campaigns and Product Ads as available in Switzerland.

What we do

What we do for your Microsoft campaign

Importing from Google saves work but does not replace the tuning: search volume, click prices and search partners behave differently on Bing.

  1. 01

    Account and import

    Set up or take over the account, bring working Google campaigns across with Google Import, then tune structure, bids and budgets for Bing separately.

  2. 02

    Conversion tracking

    Set up Microsoft’s UET tag and conversion goals so that enquiries, calls and sales are counted, not just clicks.

  3. 03

    Search terms and exclusions

    Work through the search terms report, maintain negative keywords, review search partners and exclude them where needed.

  4. 04

    Ads and extensions

    Sharpen ad copy for Bing, maintain extensions and agree landing pages with you.

  5. 05

    Shopping

    For online shops: a product feed in Microsoft Merchant Center and Shopping campaigns, provided the feed is clean.

  6. 06

    Report

    Monthly and in plain words: cost, enquiries, cost per enquiry, comparison with Google Ads and the next steps.

Is it for you?

Who Microsoft Ads suits, and who it does not

Worth it if …

  • Google Ads runs cleanly and tracks enquiries, and the good search terms are already covered.
  • Your customers often work on company computers, as in many B2B markets.
  • You run an online shop with a well-kept product feed.
  • You want to test a second search channel without writing new ads from scratch.

Probably not if …

  • There is no working Google campaign yet. Then Google Ads comes first.
  • Enquiries are not tracked. Without conversion tracking there is no way to tell whether Bing helps.
  • The ad budget is so small that it barely covers Google.
  • You need reach for an offer nobody searches for. Meta Ads or LinkedIn Ads suit that better.

How it works

From first call to decision

  1. 1

    First call

    Goal, region, existing campaigns. If Google Ads is not running cleanly yet, we say so first.

  2. 2

    Review and quote

    We look at your Google account and tracking and set out the effort for Microsoft Ads in a quote.

  3. 3

    Build

    Import, adjustments for Bing, UET tag and conversion goals, test run.

  4. 4

    First weeks

    Refine search terms, search partners and bids until the data is reliable.

  5. 5

    Decision

    After roughly two to three months the figures show whether Bing brings extra enquiries. If not, we recommend pausing.

Fee

To be clear

FAQ

Common questions about Microsoft Ads

01What does Microsoft Ads management cost?

We have no flat fee for Microsoft Ads. After looking at your account and tracking, we set out the effort in a quote. You pay the ad budget directly to Microsoft; it is never included in our fee.

02Is Microsoft Ads worth it in Switzerland?

As an addition to a working Google campaign, often yes; as the only channel, rarely. Whether it pays off for you shows in the enquiries after two to three months. We do not quote market shares or Swiss average prices, because Microsoft publishes no such figures for Switzerland.

03Can Google Ads campaigns be moved to Microsoft?

Yes. Microsoft offers Google Import, which brings over existing campaigns in full or in part and can run on a schedule. Bids, budgets and search terms should then be reviewed separately for Bing.

04Do you have Microsoft Ads case studies?

No, we do not yet have a published reference for Microsoft Ads, and we say so openly. What we can show is our work with Google Ads and conversion tracking, which a Microsoft campaign builds on.

05Do Microsoft ads also appear in Copilot?

Microsoft reports ads in Copilot for German, French and English-speaking markets but gives no country list. Whether your ads appear in Copilot in Switzerland is therefore not explicitly confirmed. Bing and the search partners are certain.

06Does Microsoft’s LinkedIn profile targeting work in Switzerland?

No. According to Microsoft, the underlying data excludes users in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland. To reach decision-makers by job, use LinkedIn Ads directly.
