Success on Microsoft Ads on Shopify
Is your Shopify business needing a little extra love and attention on Microsoft Ads, formerly Bing ads? Does the price-per-click fee look great in theory but your Microsoft Advertising Return on Investment and Return on Ad Spend is not exactly what you hoped for?
Here’s a quick overview on how to get success on Microsoft ads with Shopify:
Make sure your Campaign Budget is realistic
With Bing Shopping Ads, it’s better to start your ppc campaign with a smaller budget and increase it from there, instead of attributing a large budget to a search campaign. Reduce your bids by 50% to start off so you better understand your conversions.
Your Microsoft Ads Feed Display
Although you can transfer your Shopify Google product data feeds to your Microsoft Ads feed, it’s important to keep in mind that what might work for Shopify Google product ads display might not work for the Microsoft ads display.
Know your audience niche
- Bing users are more likely to search on desktop, so plan your budget based on this
- “People in my targeted area” is a better location type than “people searching in my targeted area”
