Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads) management

Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads) management, with approved changes

AdAce Ads reads your Microsoft Advertising account, finds wasted search terms, checks keyword quality and the auction, and prepares keywords, negatives, ad text and budgets as proposals that wait for your approval.

What Microsoft Advertising management covers

Microsoft Advertising, formerly Bing Ads, runs search ads on Bing, Yahoo and AOL and across partner sites. The audience is smaller than Google's, often older and with more office users, and the clicks are usually cheaper, which is why many accounts get a steady lead flow from it at a low cost.

Managing it well is the same routine as Google Ads: reading search terms, adding negative keywords, watching quality scores and impression share, and adjusting bids and budgets. AdAce Ads does the reading and the drafting, and shows you each change with its before and after values.

You get a second pair of eyes on one more detail: Microsoft can apply some recommendations on its own, and AdAce Ads shows which types are switched on for your account, so nothing changes without you knowing.

What AdAce Ads does in your Microsoft Advertising account

Search terms and negatives

Queries that triggered your ads, with spend and conversions, and a list of negative keyword candidates, including your shared negative lists.

Impression share and auction

Impression share and the share lost to budget, plus who else is in the same auctions, so you know when more budget would help.

Keyword quality

Quality score from 1 to 10 with expected click rate, ad relevance and landing page ratings, to see which keywords deserve a fix.

Keyword ideas

Ideas from seed words or a page, with monthly searches and bid ranges, from Microsoft's own tools.

Keywords, ads and extensions

Propose new keywords, keyword bids and statuses, ad headlines and descriptions, final URLs, and sitelinks and callouts.

Budgets, bids and settings

Propose budgets, statuses, bid strategies, countries, audience lists and the Audience Network or search partner settings.

Ask the way you would ask a search specialist

Questions are answered from your live account, and each change comes back as a proposal.

Which Bing search terms spent money last month without a conversion?
Which keywords have a quality score below 5?
Are we losing impression share to budget on any campaign?
Add these five words as negative keywords to the main campaign and send it to me for approval.
Here is what I found and the change I prepared. It is waiting for your approval in AdAce Ads.

Who it is for

Google Ads advertisers

You already run search ads and want to add Bing's cheaper clicks with the same routine.

Local service businesses

Plumbers, lawyers, clinics and dealers whose customers search on desktop at work.

Owners leaving an agency

You want to see the account and every change yourself.

Agencies

Both search engines in one workspace, with approvals and client policies.

How it works, step by step

  1. Create a free AdAce Ads workspace and sign in with Google.
  2. Connect Microsoft Advertising with the official Microsoft sign-in and choose the ad accounts to share.
  3. Open the dashboard or add AdAce Ads to ChatGPT or Claude as a connector.
  4. Ask about search terms, keyword quality or impression share, or ask for a change.
  5. A change becomes a proposal with before and after values. Approve it with the current 6-digit code from your authenticator app, right in the chat or in the app. A plain “yes” is not enough.
  6. It is applied, read back and logged; reversible changes can be undone.

Why it is safe to use on a live account

New campaigns start paused

A search campaign, ad group or ad you create stays paused until you turn it on.

You see Microsoft's own changes

AdAce Ads reports which recommendation types Microsoft applies automatically, so automatic edits do not surprise you.

Spending limits

A daily budget cap per client stops any proposal from raising spend beyond your limit.

Access limits

Access to some platforms depends on that platform's own review of AdAce Ads. The current status of every platform is listed on the pricing page.
