Enterprise advertisers care about reaching customers and fueling performance across search engines and channels. And this makes sense; typically, advertisers that adopt Search Ads 360 multi-channel / engine optimization portfolios can expect to see 5% more conversions or conversion value as compared to optimizing channels and engines independently.
To give all of our enterprise advertisers more options to optimize their campaigns, we’re opening access to a beta program to enable you to activate Microsoft automated bidding in your Search Ads 360 bid strategies, starting today. Microsoft automated bidding optimizes bids for the user at the auction level and in real-time. By activating Microsoft automated bidding with Floodlight conversion data, you can enhance performance on Microsoft search and shopping campaigns. You can also gain incremental performance by including these campaigns in cross-channel and cross-engine bid strategy portfolios, powered by Google AI, in Search Ads 360.
Power Microsoft automated bidding with relevant Floodlight data
Floodlight data enables de-duplicated, cross-channel and cross-engine measurement to appropriately value media effectiveness across campaigns. By sharing relevant Floodlight data with Microsoft, you enable Microsoft to optimize bids based on your conversion source of truth.
Take multinational lifestyle retailer Urban Outfitters, for example. The team at Urban Outfitters recognized the need to stay ahead in the ever-changing search landscape and sought innovative solutions to maximize ROI across all search engines. They embraced the chance to experiment with Microsoft automated bidding, leveraging Floodlight data as their primary conversion source of truth. Partnering with the agency iProspect, Urban Outfitters embarked on a 5-week test to assess the true impact of this cutting-edge strategy. Urban Outfitters experienced substantial performance enhancements across all key metrics.
