our approach

How we do Microsoft Ads

Our PPC agency constructs performance campaigns engineered around high-intent enterprise audiences. We combine granular search intent mapping, native LinkedIn profile targeting, and custom landing page optimisation to capture qualified buyers efficiently. By refining bidding algorithms and testing creative variants, we ensure every advertising dollar generates verifiable commercial value.

Audience Profile Targeting

We map target account lists and ICP parameters using native LinkedIn integration. By filtering working people by job title, company size, and specific industry verticals, our paid search team ensures your search display ads appear directly before senior executives, minimising wasted ad spend across enterprise sectors and refining overall brand positioning.

Keyword Architecture

Our specialists structure granular paid search campaigns around bottom-of-funnel commercial terms. We build single-intent ad groups, apply robust negative keyword libraries, and continually filter out unqualified search queries to maximise return on ad spend alongside parallel SEO and Google Ads management initiatives across all search platforms.

Bespoke Creative Testing

We craft compelling ad copy and responsive search assets that directly address enterprise pain points. Every variation is tested systematically against conversion metrics, aligning messaging with high-converting landing pages and video assets to elevate quality scores and lower overall acquisition costs across every active campaign.

Bid Management

Using smart automated bidding rules alongside daily manual oversight, our team dynamically adjusts bids based on device performance, geographic location, and audience demographics. This data driven optimization framework ensures your media budget allocation consistently prioritises your highest-converting sales conversion pathways across the network.

Inside the work

How we do Microsoft Ads

Durham sits at the heart of the Research Triangle, powered by global biotechnology giants, premier research institutions, and a thriving commercial ecosystem. In this knowledge-driven environment, where 54.7% holding a bachelor's degree or higher defines the talent pool, standard search channels often become crowded and prohibitively expensive. Microsoft Advertising opens direct access to high-value corporate decision-makers working on desktop workstations across major enterprise hubs. We design tailored paid search campaigns that reach senior executives, research directors, and tech buyers when they evaluate enterprise solutions throughout their working day.

Securing qualified leads across the local market does not require inflated marketing expenditure. The average cost-per-click on Microsoft Ads is 33% lower than on Google Ads, giving ambitious companies an immediate commercial edge. Furthermore, the average cost per conversion on Microsoft Ads is $31 compared to $45 on Google Ads. Our team capitalises on these structural advantages to stretch your acquisition budget, ensuring every investment delivers measurable pipeline growth. By prioritising high-intent search queries from workplace environments, we capture premium commercial enquiries without the aggressive auction pressure of competing networks.

Precision targeting transforms technical search traffic into tangible revenue. Using any type of audience targeting on Microsoft Advertising results in a 50% higher conversion rate on average, making granular segmentation essential for complex sales cycles. We refine your campaigns using native professional network attributes, firmographic data, and commercial intent signals. Paired with the platform's unique demographic reach, our approach ensures your messaging lands directly in front of qualified buyers across the region. From initial prospect engagement to bottom-funnel conversion tracking, we build scalable acquisition systems that consistently outpace generic advertising tactics.

Combining Microsoft Ads with Google Ads management unlocks complete search coverage. While Google secures broad consumer search volume, the platform delivers high-converting B2B desktop traffic at reduced cost-per-click rates. Our comprehensive digital marketing team coordinates bidding across both networks, maximising total impression share while maintaining cost-effective customer acquisition.

High-performing search display and social media advertising campaigns require compelling visual design and sharp copywriting. Our creative team produces responsive ad extensions, persuasive banners, and tailored landing page experiences that reflect your brand identity, elevating conversion rates across Meta and search networks with coordinated paid social execution.

Robust data tracking is vital for demonstrating return on ad spend. As a leading digital marketing agency, we implement advanced offline conversion tracking, multi-touch attribution models, and clear analytics dashboards, ensuring data driven strategies continuously allocate media budget toward your most profitable customer segments and commercial campaigns.

Seamless web design and software development ensure paid clicks convert into measurable pipeline revenue. Our developers build high-speed, mobile-responsive landing pages integrated with major CRM platforms like HubSpot and Salesforce, eliminating friction and transforming ad clicks into qualified commercial sales pipeline opportunities for expanding firms.

faq

Answered questions.

Everything you might want to know—up front.

1
How does advertising on Bing differ from Google Ads?
Lower competition and native desktop integration define the platform's core advantage. Because it comes pre-installed across corporate Windows operating systems, it captures an older, higher-earning demographic of working people during professional business hours. Average click costs remain considerably lower than Google, allowing brands to secure valuable B2B leads and higher ROI at improved profit margins. When managing Google Ads and Microsoft campaigns together, businesses capture comprehensive market share across both consumer and enterprise search traffic. See our Microsoft and Bing Ads management. You can also compare SEO in Durham.
2
Can we import existing Google Ads campaigns into Microsoft Ads?
Direct synchronisation tools allow swift campaign migration without losing structural integrity. We import your established keyword sets, negative lists, and ad copy from Google Ads, then adjust bids and audience targeting parameters to exploit the unique desktop user demographic and shopping behaviours across the Microsoft search network. Our PPC agency team refines bidding modifiers and expands negative keyword lists to ensure Google Ads campaigns translate into high-performing ad assets with optimal cost efficiency.

3
What role does LinkedIn profile data play in B2B audience targeting?
Bespoke B2B targeting is unlocked through native integration with professional network profiles. Advertisers can filter search traffic by job function, company size, and specific industry categories. For example, enterprise software providers can display ads exclusively to IT directors searching for cloud migration solutions, eliminating ad spend waste entirely. This unique capability gives our marketing agency an edge when executing account-based marketing campaigns for business-to-business clients. Our standards follow the published guidance from Google Search Central, Moz Beginner's Guide to SEO and Search Engine Journal.
4
How do local service ads and paid search work together?
Local service ads and structured paid search campaigns capture distinct stages of user commercial intent. While local service ads establish immediate trust, verified reviews, and direct phone inquiries for regional providers, traditional search campaigns engage enterprise buyers evaluating complex long-term contracts. Combining both approaches within a unified search strategy delivers maximum search engine visibility across all target buyer groups, ensuring local businesses dominate high-intent commercial queries.
5
How do your digital marketing campaigns help achieve goals across competitive markets?
Our full digital marketing agency combines rigorous keyword research, continuous creative optimization, and multi-channel attribution across Google, Microsoft, and paid social channels. Whether scaling client acquisition in regional hubs or expanding across competitive commercial markets from Portland and Miami to Los Angeles, the UK, and Canada, our data driven strategies and comprehensive PPC management frameworks consistently help achieve goals by building sustainable, high-converting customer acquisition pipelines.
