Microsoft Ads Agency in Wels
Bing campaigns that reach high-value audiences at lower CPCs for businesses in Wels
Most businesses in Wels either ignore Microsoft Ads completely or simply import their Google Ads campaigns 1:1 into Bing. Both approaches waste potential. Microsoft Ads reach a different audience — older, higher purchasing power, less competitive. Companies in Oberösterreich that do not treat Bing as its own channel leave profitable conversions on the table. As a trade fair city, Wels businesses need marketing campaigns that surge during events and maintain steady lead flow between fairs. This requires flexible campaign strategies that can scale quickly and then optimize for efficiency during quieter periods.
Why Microsoft Ads Are an Underrated Channel for Businesses in Wels
Wels is Upper Austria's second-largest city and a significant trade fair location. The Messe Wels hosts Austria's most-visited B2B trade fair (Energiesparmesse with 300,000+ visitors). The city has a strong Mittelstand economy focused on food production, metal processing, and trade.
Microsoft Bing holds a 10-15% market share in the DACH region — that sounds small, but the user demographics are attractive: higher average age, higher purchasing power, more desktop usage. For businesses in Wels, this means a valuable audience that is not reachable on Google.
CPCs on Microsoft Ads are typically 20-40% lower than Google. Combined with higher conversion rates for certain audiences, the result is a significantly better CPA. We build Microsoft Ads campaigns not as a Google copy, but as their own channel with adjusted keywords, bids, and ad copy.
Microsoft Ads also offer unique targeting options: LinkedIn Profile Targeting (job title, industry, company) directly within search campaigns. For B2B companies in Wels, this is an enormous advantage that no other search engine provides. In Austria, the DSG adds requirements on top of GDPR for data processing and consent. For Microsoft Ads in Wels, we build a tracking setup with Consent Mode v2 and server-side tagging that meets both frameworks while still delivering clean data for campaign optimization.

Challenges We Solve
Own Strategy Instead of Google Import
A 1:1 import from Google Ads rarely works optimally on Bing. We adjust keywords, bids, and ad copy to Bing user search behavior — they search differently than Google users.
Using Smaller Search Volume Efficiently
Bing has less traffic than Google. We concentrate budget on the most profitable keywords and use audience signals to expand reach strategically.
Tracking Parity with Google
Microsoft Ads needs its own UET tag and separate conversion actions. We ensure your tracking on Bing runs as cleanly as on Google.
B2B Targeting with LinkedIn Data
The LinkedIn integration is Microsoft's biggest advantage. We use job titles, industries, and company size as targeting layers for search campaigns to reach B2B decision-makers in Wels.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes — especially for businesses already running Google Ads. Microsoft Ads reach a different audience at lower CPCs. For companies in Wels targeting audiences over 35 or in B2B, Bing is an important complementary channel.
-
Technically yes, strategically no. We import the campaign structure as a starting point, then adjust keywords, bids, ad copy, and audiences to the Bing platform. A pure import wastes the channel potential.
-
We recommend 15-25% of your Google Ads budget as a starting point. With good performance, the share can increase. Minimum is 1,000 EUR monthly for enough data to optimize meaningfully.
-
Microsoft Ads allows you to filter search campaigns by LinkedIn data: job title, industry, company size. So for a search on "ERP software" you can target only IT directors at mid-sized companies.
-
We implement the UET tag via server-side tagging for DSG compliance and set up dedicated conversion actions. Your Bing tracking runs with the same accuracy and privacy compliance as your Google Ads setup.
-
We build trade-fair-synchronized campaign calendars: heavy spend during the Energiesparmesse and other Messe Wels events (targeting attendees with search and display), followed by always-on campaigns that nurture leads and maintain pipeline between fairs. This rhythm matches how Wels businesses actually win customers.
