Microsoft & Bing Ads Management
Microsoft Ads That Work
For founders running Google who haven’t unlocked Microsoft. We run it as a first-class channel, not a leftover import, tap its LinkedIn B2B targeting, and measure it with the same tracking as Google, so cheaper clicks become a provable cost-per-lead advantage. See the work before you pay a cent.
Free, no-obligation Microsoft Ads audit. No locked retainer to start.
The Real Problem
Cheaper clicks, but are they producing leads?
Microsoft is the channel most founders keep meaning to unlock, or imported from Google and forgot. Either way, it’s usually running unmeasured.
Imported from Google and forgotten
A cloned Google campaign ignores Microsoft’s different audience, lower competition, and LinkedIn targeting.
You can’t compare it to Google
Microsoft is tracked differently (or not at all), so you can’t tell if its cheaper clicks beat Google on cost per lead.
It’s a bolt-on, not a channel
A full-service shop treats Bing as a line item with no real attribution and no senior attention.
Cheaper clicks, unproven leads
A lower CPC is a vanity number until you can prove it produced a lead worth having.
Our Approach
A cheaper click only counts if it converts. We measure that first.
Microsoft gets the same 3-Pillar Method™ as your Google account, rebuilt for the platform, not imported and forgotten.
Unified Tracking
UET, server-side, and one measurement layer across Google, Microsoft, and Meta, so for the first time you can compare cost-per-lead across channels. Most agencies leave Microsoft unmeasured.
Pillar 1 · The unified wedgeRebuilt for the Platform
Not a lazy Google import. We rebuild for Microsoft’s audience and tap LinkedIn company, industry, and job-function targeting Google can’t isolate.
Pillar 2 · Built, not clonedMessage for the Audience
Microsoft’s searchers skew older, wealthier, desktop-first, and work-based. We match the message to that higher-value buyer.
Pillar 3 · Audience matchWhat’s Included

Why Microsoft Earns a Place
Cheaper leads, B2B reach, a higher-value audience
Lower cost per lead, proven
Less competition plus a higher-income audience often means a lower cost-per-lead, not just a cheaper click, and we track it end to end to prove which it is for you.
Reach Google can’t isolate
LinkedIn company, industry, and job-function targeting puts you in front of the exact decision-makers, tied to conversion data so you see which titles convert.
A higher-value audience
Microsoft searchers skew older, wealthier, desktop-first, and work-based, the exact higher-LTV buyer your best customers already are.
Why a Partner
nn.partners vs a typical Microsoft agency
Most run Microsoft as a Google clone with no real measurement. Here’s the difference.
| nn.partners | Typical Microsoft agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Ads AND analytics, one roof | Ads only, tracking is your problem |
| Tracking | UET + server-side + unified Google/Microsoft/Meta + Free Event Map | Basic UET pixel, or none |
| Approach | Rebuilt for the platform | Lazy Google-account import |
| Method | The 3-Pillar Method™ (tracking → structure → message) | Set-and-forget bid tweaks |
| Targeting | LinkedIn profile data tied to attribution | Generic keywords only |
| Reporting | Cost-per-lead comparable across channels | Siloed Bing screenshot |
| Risk | Free audit, see the work before you commit | Locked retainer, unclear end |
| Access | The strategist directly | Junior rep, Bing as a side task |
What It Looks Like
From forgotten Bing import to a measured channel
The pattern repeats across accounts we audit: Microsoft was imported from Google months ago, tracked loosely or not at all, and left to run. We rebuild the campaigns for Microsoft’s audience, unify the measurement with UET and server-side tracking, and layer in LinkedIn profile targeting. From there the channel stops being a line item and becomes a number you can compare to Google and act on.
- Campaigns rebuilt for Microsoft’s auction and audience instead of cloned from Google
- UET + server-side tracking measured to the same standard as Google
- Cost-per-lead comparable across channels on one live dashboard
Why nn.partners
We don’t treat Microsoft as an afterthought
Most agencies import your Google account, chase a low CPC, and call it a day. We give Microsoft the same 3-Pillar Method, the same tracking, and the same senior attention as your Google account, because for the right audience the cost-per-lead can beat Google. Your account is run by Nik Vdovenko, founder, 9 years and $10M+ in managed spend. Founder-led means limited capacity: we take on a small number of accounts at a time.

FAQ
Questions serious advertisers ask
Is Microsoft Ads even worth it next to Google?
Run both. Google stays your scale channel; Microsoft reaches an older, wealthier, desktop-heavy audience with the same search intent and a fraction of the competition. We measure the two identically, so within weeks the cost-per-lead comparison answers the question with your own data.
How are you different from other Microsoft agencies?
Most agencies click the import button, clone your Google account, and check Bing off the list. We rebuild for Microsoft’s audience, wire UET and server-side tracking so its cost-per-lead is directly comparable to Google’s, and tie LinkedIn profile targeting to real conversion data. Same 3-Pillar Method™ as your Google account: tracking first, then structure, then message. And you see the work in a free audit before you commit to anything.
What is LinkedIn profile targeting?
Microsoft owns LinkedIn, so Microsoft Ads can target by company, industry, and job function, audience data Google simply doesn’t have. We tie it to conversion tracking, so you see which industries and titles actually turn into leads, then bid into exactly those segments.
Do you import my Google campaigns or rebuild?
We rebuild. The one-click import is why most Microsoft accounts underperform: it copies bids and structure built for Google’s auction into a platform with different competition, a different audience, and targeting options Google lacks. A rebuild costs a little more time up front and earns it back fast, because the account finally fits the people actually searching there.
How do you prove the cheaper clicks produce leads?
UET plus server-side tracking, set up to the same standard as your Google measurement and feeding one reporting layer. That makes cost-per-lead an apples-to-apples number across channels. If Microsoft’s cheaper clicks turn into leads, the dashboard shows it; if they don’t, budget moves back to Google and you see that too.
What does reporting look like?
A live Looker Studio dashboard with Google and Microsoft side by side: spend, cost-per-lead, ROAS, and pipeline you can reconcile to your CRM. Open it any day and see which channel earned its budget.
How long until I see results?
Clarity starts at the free audit, before you pay anything. The rebuild and tracking go live within the first few weeks, and because Microsoft auctions are less crowded, a readable cost-per-lead signal usually arrives faster than you’d expect. You only pay after the first 30 days, once you’ve seen the work.
What does it cost?
Pricing is scoped on the strategy call, to your spend and complexity. You get the full ads-and-analytics function under one roof, run by a senior team, for less than building and staffing it in-house. And you only pay after the first 30 days, once you’ve seen the work.
