Bing Ads
Grow your search presence.
Capitalize on less competition & lower costs.
Capture Increased Market Share Through Bing Ads
Does Bing Ads offer you the high ceiling that Google does? No. But does it have value for certain businesses? Absolutely. While Google still dominates the search engine space, Bing gets just under 14 billion searches each month. Are you missing some low-hanging fruit by ignoring Bing Ads? Let’s discuss.
Why Bing Ads?
Owned by Microsoft, Bing advertising actually provides you with access to three unique search engines: Bing, Yahoo, and AOL. For advertisers who have already been doing Google Ads, Bing can be a nice complement to their efforts. Here’s why:
Less Competition & Lower Costs
In the bidding system that is PPC advertising, your costs are directly related to the competition for impression share. With less advertisers on Bing than Google, advertisers experience lower costs. While every industry differs, the average cost-per-click for Bing Ads can be up to 70% lower than that of Google Ads.
Easy Setup for Search Advertisers
Already rocking with your Google advertising strategy? Then this should be a breeze. You’re able to import your Google Ad account structure (campaigns, keywords, etc.) into Bing to help expedite your account setup. This makes it a seamless addition to your search advertising mix.
Growing Use in Specific Demographics
Bing surpassed 100 million daily active users in 2023. With certain demographics in particular - higher-income, older, corporate, etc. - there is an even stronger yearly growth in use that can be found. Bing is also the default search engine for Microsoft Edge users, aiding its growth in use.

People Tend To Ask
For certain clients, Google Ads can be a bit more competitive than their budgets can handle. If you have a lower budget and really want to maximize your spend, Bing Ads may be a good option to consider. Bing Ads typically have significantly lower costs-per-click, because there is far less competition. This helps you have a higher search impression share, and more traffic generated to your website for a lower amount of dollars.
If you’re looking for data: the median Bing user is 45 years old, and 71% of Bing users are 35 or older. The largest percentage of Bing users also make over $100,000 a year. So despite Bing only having a 3-5% market share of searches, it does have strong use in older demographics, and demographics that are medium- to high-income levels.
We’ve all seen the news headlines that have claimed the most highly searched word on Bing is “Google.” That may distract us from the fact that there are actual, relevant searches taking place on Bing for companies of all shapes and sizes. We’ve found success with all types of businesses - including eCommerce storefronts, nursing homes, construction equipment vendors, and more. If your audience is generally higher-income and skews a bit older (Gen X and older), this could be a great avenue for you to pursue.
It’s so hard to give a perfect answer to this, but we would love to help you identify the strategy that makes the most sense for your business. As a whole, you will always have more scale potential on Google, but Bing can be great for testing with some of your budget to drive increased traffic at a lower cost-per-click. When looking at your search advertising budget, a general guideline would be to have 90% on Google, and about 10% on Bing.
