## Bing Ads Reviews
  ### 1. Reliable addition to your media plan

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nikita M. | Manager - Digital Activation, Marketing and Advertising, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 30, 2023

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

The Keyword competition is not very high and with the great push to bing and microsoft co-pilot, the audience quality is better.
The ads are more economical.
The ads are easy to implement and there is no problem in integrating it in your media plan. I have not yet used the customer support, so will refrain from commenting.

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

There is still a lot of audience that do not use bing. While this is changing there are times the budget remains unconsumed. I do not end up using bing ads as frequently as I would like though.

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Gain awareness and consideration to drive sales or customer acquisition.

  ### 2. Very similar to Google Ads, but gets a lower return.

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael C. | Search Engine Marketing Strategist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 24, 2022

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

Bing Reps, are really helpful. They offer good recommendations and pay attention to your budget.

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

UI can get very glitchy, you cannot target by store locations, audience segmentations are very limited.

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reach new customers and drive traffic to the website/app.

  ### 3. Like Google Ads, but slower

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Elias V. | Senior Paid Search Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 13, 2022

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

Bing Ads does everything Google Ads does, only slower, and later than Google Ads does it. I do like that Bing unashamedly steals Google's best features so that we don't have to learn 2 entirely different programs! It functions the same as Google Ads at its heart.

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

Bing Ads is much, much slower to respond in its interface than Google Ads, its constant pop-up notifications are annoying (I shouldn't have to click out of a tile saying "you will not see this alert for 30 days" every single day), and support staff is just plain bad.

**Recommendations to others considering Bing Ads:**

Invoices arrive LATER than Google Ads invoices, and the interface isn't as smooth, but Bing will copy every good thing that Google does here, so if you're capable of using Google Ads, you're capable of using Bing Ads as well.

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our agencies have reached Android (mobile) users with more frequency, since Bing has been the built-in search engine on their phones. We're also able to decrease overall Cost-Per-Click for Paid Search when incorporating Bing Ads, since that engine is less competitive.

  ### 4. Bing Ads is Fine, But Leaves Much to Be Desired

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2022

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

The back end sync, for things like product catalogs, seems to be much quicker than Google Ads.

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

Functionality and reporting wise, not nearly as many features as Google Ads. Also, the targeting can be strange because people that will see a Bing Ad tend to be a very specific subset of customers, not nearly as broad as Google reaches.

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bing and Google both have been used as top of funnel customer acquisition products. The eyeballs Bing Ads has are undeniable, just perhaps not as high of quality as Google, depending on your product.

  ### 5. Easy platform if you're familiar with google ads

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2022

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

User friendly interface and similar structure with google ads

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

some functions can't be done efficiently, ex. bulk edit

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

expanding their markets

  ### 6. Ok, But not as good as Google Ads

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

Bing itself can reach a supplemental audience to Google. Typically it sees lower CPCs and CACs due to lower competition than on Google. It has an easy integration so you can bulk upload campaigns and keep the same structure as your Google Ads account.

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

Overall the platform is dated and clunky. Everything takes individual steps, so there is not really a quick way to make multiple changes. Setting up Target CPAs and bid strategies is very time-consuming.

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I was lowering my search campaign average CPCs and CACs. The budget compared to Google ads was much smaller, but at times it was more efficient. I am no longer running Bing ads.

  ### 7. Too far behind Google in ease of use and volume of traffic so much lower

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Facilities Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2021

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

You can import Google Ads campaigns, meaning you do not have to recreate them again!

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

There is a lack of volume compared to Google, and some of the reports are not as easy to find and use (particularly the search query reports).

**Recommendations to others considering Bing Ads:**

Bing Ads is good for finding a different audience that is not using Google search, but it is a devil to use, especially, when you are used to Google Ads.

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Different demographic use Bing Ads compared to Google so it does give you a different audience.

  ### 8. Helps customers find you

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2021

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

It does what it's supposed to: create more clicks.

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

It's a pain to set up and seems wasteful as far as budget.

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps customers find my business. I've found that many people want my services.

  ### 9. Ppc operations 

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2019

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

Keyword optimisation is very easy on this platform 

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

Interface isn't nice, hard to do work on it

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Optimisation for clients

  ### 10. Bing Ads - It's Getting Better.

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael B. | CEO, Marketing and Advertising, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2019

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

Though Bing is less favored these days with the introduction of Paid Social, Bing still holds a necessary place in the SEM space. What's great is that importing from AdWords, and setting up your account makes the daily routine work much easier. New additions like Bing's version of AdWords' "Opportunities" are a nice addition. Bing, however, is constantly playing catch up with its bigger brother.

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

Bing's largest issues are with volume. ROI is great usually, and volume makes it hard to substantiate working in Bing Ads for a large period of time. That means that other channels generally get more work, and as a result, Bing stagnates or doesn't get the attention it deserves. Had they had more volume this would be an easier recommendation.

**Recommendations to others considering Bing Ads:**

Get your main channels out of the way first. Look to import Bing once you've found success in AdWords.

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Driving more sales, more customers and more leads for clients.

  ### 11. Bing Ads Review

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2019

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

I like that Bing Ads is very similar to Google Ads, and allows for easy communication between platforms. It is super easy to send data from Google straight to Bing.

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

The results I have seen from Bing Ads generally are not as good as the results from Google Ads. I've noticed a lack of conversion metrics such as calls compared with Google Ads.

**Recommendations to others considering Bing Ads:**

Bing Ads is a good platform for reaching searchers who are not using Google.

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reaching people who do not search on Google. There are a number of people who don't use Google, so bing ads helps make sure these users are not forgotten. Since Bing is especially used by people who are older, advertising on Bing allows you to reach these people. In my experience, I've used Bing ads for brands that are especially attractive to older demographics such as Cadillac and Buick, and have seen positive results.

  ### 12. Ok Platform to reach Paid Search Users

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2019

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

It is generally cheaper to conduct PPC on BIng as CPC are cheaper.  However this is reflected in lower impressions and conv. compared to Google Ads

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

Reporting is not as fluid as Google Ads.  As well the interface is a little bit more complex and requires a backgroud to grasp. 

**Recommendations to others considering Bing Ads:**

Just watch CPC and CPA and you shoudl be fine.  Insertion orders are a cool way to manage budget as well. 

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are able to increase leads through users that use bing as their primary search engine.  Capturing a part of the market that was previously not targeted. 

  ### 13. Cheap CPCs, but No Traffic and Confusing Billing

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cameron S. | Digital Media Manager, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2018

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

Results are cheap, due to a lack of competition. The interface is extremely similar to Google AdWords, so adaption is quick and easy.

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

Traffic is minimal and unpredictable. Bing's billing system is confusing and not convenient for smaller accounts. The amount of work up front is not out-weighed by the results.

**Recommendations to others considering Bing Ads:**

Try Yahoo Gemini alongside Bing Ads if you're looking to supplement your AdWords efforts. If your experience is like ours, Yahoo will be the better partner.

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A supplemental platform for our clients' AdWords efforts.

  ### 14. My Honest Opinion on Bing Ads

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kehinde A. | Freelance Web Designer, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 11, 2018

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

What I like best is their customer support, unlike others I have experienced theirs is top notch, I give them 100% for that. The first time I had issues with them they didn't waste any time at all, the live chat was active and on time and the agent who attended to me had to work on my PC remotely and securely. I love the experience.

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

The Payment method frustrated me as I was unable to use my Master Card to pay for my advert. My bank claimed they were trying to charge me directly in my local currency that they should have charged me in USD. Unfortunately, they were unable to resolve that. I think they are used to one method of payment and US Based audience.

**Recommendations to others considering Bing Ads:**

To be frank, aside from payment issues on my Bing account, I think Bing is as Good as other ad networks including Google Adword. If you have means of settling your payment without violating any of their rules please give it a try. And if you have any issues I believe their customer support will be ready to help you out. 

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Advertising. I was able to send some traffic using their initial threshold but I could not really scale the service since I couldn't continue the advert.

  ### 15. Basic interface and lower costs per click than adwords

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alex H. | Managing Director, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 28, 2018

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

Simple interface helps with fast loading pages. Low competition levels means lower costs per click than Google Adwords. 

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

The simple design interface sometimes looks a bit dated, but overall works sufficiently. Much lower search volumes than present on Google adwords.

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reaching more potential customers with advertising, reaching a wider market.  Reaching different PPC customer demographics than is possible with just Google adwords. 

  ### 16. Does Anybody Use Bing?

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Industrial Automation | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2018

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

It is similar to Google Adwords and in fact you can export campaigns directly out of Adwords and into Bing Ads

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

There is nothing exceptional about this product

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It allows us to reach new potential customers through the Microsoft search engine and is generally cheaper per keyword than it's cousin Google AdWords.

  ### 17. Great alternative to Adwords

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Paolo D. | Director of Digital Marketing, Marketing and Advertising, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2018

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

Less competition and lower cost alternative to Google Adwords. Ability to specify a target audience/demographics to get the exact people needed. Very similar to Adwords, you can even upload all of your Adwords settings/campaigns into Bing in just a few clicks. You can reach people that don't use Google, which is good because not every uses Google. Also great customer service!

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

No display network to create/share ads on. Less traffic than Adwords. 

**Recommendations to others considering Bing Ads:**

If you already use Google Adwords, save yourself the time and connect your Adwords account to upload settings/campaigns/adgroups/keywords in just a few clicks. Utilize customer service if you get stuck, they are very happy to help out. 

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bing delivers lower cost CPC traffic to website. We have seen lower CPA than other platforms. 

  ### 18. Good PPC Platform

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2018

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

Perhaps the best part of using Bing Ads is the fact that you can upload all of your previous campaigns from its main competitor, Google Adwords.  This saved me a lot of time - why only do PPC on Google when you can do it on Bing, without much extra work?  I also thought their keyword planner was cleaner, although now that I'm using Adwords again, I think the needle has pointed back to Google again. 

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

My biggest gripe with Bing Ads was that it was difficult to alter ad sets in campaigns that you brought over from Google Adwords.  If memory serves me correctly, you could not duplicate ad sets, which was frustrating to say the least.

**Recommendations to others considering Bing Ads:**

Give it a shot - it doesn't really hurt to try, considering implementation is a breeze.  If you are using AdWords, than Bing is a no brainer. Reach out to the crazy fools who never downloaded chrome on their new windows machines easily, with Bing Ads.

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bing Ads helped us bring in more site visitors at a much, much lower CPC than Google Adwords, LinkedIn Ads, and Facebook Ads.  We were able to use their tracking snippet to know how we were performing on campaigns in google analytics. 

  ### 19. Pales in comparison to the de-facto standard in Search Advertising: Adwords

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Srinivasan R. | Co-Founder & CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2017

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

Slightly better user interface than Adwords.

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

The quality of Analytics is no match to that of Adwords.

**Recommendations to others considering Bing Ads:**

Find it hard to recommend Bing Ads when Adwords does such a good job of managing search advertising and search engine marketing. If you do get a promotional credit from Microsoft, it might be worthwhile running similar campaigns both on Adwords and Bing Ads. Kind of a A/B testing across 2 search advertising platforms. We consistently found that the CPC (Cost Per Click) on Adwords was lower than the CPC on Bing Ads. Bing Ads has one useful feature - if you have already established a campaign om Adwords, Bing Ads will allow you to import the campaigns automatically. However, all the campaign parameters you set up on Adwords don't necessarily transfer to their equivalents in Bing Ads.

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Use search advertising to drive awareness for the company's online presence and demand generation for the company's offerings. Some of the benefits we have realized are: increased number of visitors to the website during the execution if campaigns, lead generation through clickthroughs on the Ads displayed on the Bing network.

  ### 20. Great platform, seamless experience

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 03, 2018

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

The Bing Ads UI is very clean, and easy to use. Especially if you're familiar with using other PPC platforms, the transition is seamless (with limited learning curve). Additionally the support team is great - always willing to hop on a call with you and discuss opportunities for improvement.

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

Advertising on Bing in general is a quite niche. Your strategy certainly needs to be a bit different than other platforms.

**Recommendations to others considering Bing Ads:**

Do your research into Bing and have a confident strategy around keyword bidding and goals for the program. Do not treat this platform the same way you would Google Adwords, because it can serve an entirely different function.

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're helping prospects identify a solution to their pain-points, by analyzing and understanding the terms they search the most to find our product.

  ### 21. Useful, but not the best

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2018

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

Bing has a small amount of users, so we are able to expand our service reach with Bing ads. It is also able to directly advertise inside of UWP apps.

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

On web, the UI looks prehistoric. It is slow and inefficient, and it looks like little effort has been spent on improving that.

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Small and limitef company reach. We are able to gain a few website clicks, but not too much.

  ### 22. Mostly similar experience to Google AdWords

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2018

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

Bing Ads has improved over time. I appreciate that when AdWords makes an interface change, that Bing Ads typically does as well. It helps busy paid search marketers have a streamlined experience but still cross multiple engines.

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

Import functionality can be clunky. You have to double check your settings otherwise it can override to certain features like including display. 

**Recommendations to others considering Bing Ads:**

Usage is based on your search budget and your audience. Bing does tend to have a different audience then Google so if you're trying to capture more impression share this is a good way to expand. 

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Stay competitive in an eCommerce market. Drive transactions. 

  ### 23. Bing reciew

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jordan M. | Insurance Agent, Insurance, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2018

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

It’s very easy to use and it also inexpensive.

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

Not as many features as I would like when it comes to where and when I can show the ad.

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I most use it to gain publicity for other businesses. It’s good way to get your name out there.

  ### 24. Good for additional exposure; not great as the sole advertising channel

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2017

**What do you like best about Bing Ads?**

Ability to import campaigns directly from Google AdWords (which most advertisers will use as their primary paid search channel). This makes it easy to "set and forget." 

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

Bing just doesn't have the audience share that Google does, which results in fewer clicks and conversions overall (at least in my industry). Also, the audience that is there is different -- you really need to make sure that to use the platform to its fullest potential, you tweak the ad copy, targeting and other settings to adjust for the different audience. 

**Recommendations to others considering Bing Ads:**

The platform is difficult to use if you're new to paid search advertising. I'd recommend users looking to use Bing start with the auto-import from AdWords. Once comfortable with AdWords, start to learn the intricacies of Bing Ads so you can really use it to its full potential.

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Increased reach. Not as much competition on Bing as there is on Google AdWords, so cost per click and per conversion are generally lower. So it's better for ROI even if on a smaller scale. 

  ### 25. Familiar with Google Ads

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Furniture | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 06, 2018

The fact that you can import your campaigns from Google Ads

Unlikely you don´t have so many options to make a goog bid management like it is on Google Ads

**Recommendations to others considering Bing Ads:**

Use the import feature if you´re also a Google Ads user.

Getting people to our shop who browse and search with Bing

I don’t like that almost all of my visits are from mobile. My business model works best on te computer

**Recommendations to others considering Bing Ads:**

This service simply  attracts quality customers and experienced promoters. You also don't have to own a big sold. If you already aren't using yahoo ads, I recommend you to take part of this community. It's much better than anticipated.


**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Yahoo Advertising can help build your brand faster than never. It’s display ads system is occupying 50% of total ads from yahoo. Users are more likely to remember your brand name when they see it rather than hearing int.

  ### 28. Good but not quite as good as adwords

**Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2017

Its similiar to Google so if you use one you can use the other

**What do you dislike about Bing Ads?**

It doenst play nicely with GA. There is a lot to setup if you want to track keyword performance within GA. Bing tends to have a lot of bots. 

**Recommendations to others considering Bing Ads:**

Older audiences use bing ads, so if you're attracting older users for your service/product Bing is great. It's less competitive. However, i've seen more bot traffic than google. 

**What problems is Bing Ads solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helping generate leads through our ads campaigns. Bing is great for accessing an older population. Depending on your market, Bing could be great.
