Microsoft Ads success stories: what Bing and Microsoft ads do when they are run well.

A plumber paying 78% less per qualified lead, a bank with 40% more conversions, a software maker cutting the cost of a new user to under $5. Each story shows a real result, the decisions behind it and how we would put the same play to work for your business.

What the winners had in common.

Plumbing, banking, mattresses and holidays. Different businesses, the same few decisions behind every result on this page, and the ones we build into every Microsoft Ads account we run.

They measured what pays
Qualified leads, sales value, new paying users. Not clicks. Every winning account here tracked the outcome that mattered with conversion tracking, so bidding could follow money instead of traffic.
They gave the automation good signals
Clarks, NAOMI, Puffy and icelolly let Performance Max and smart bidding do the heavy lifting, but only after feeding them product data, past visitors and realistic return targets.
They used the format built for the job
Local service ads for a plumber, Microsoft Store ads for an app, shopping ads for an online drugstore. Matching the ad to how the customer buys beat forcing everything into plain text ads.
They kept testing their ads
BBVA Mexico used Copilot to write and test new ad versions instead of running the same few headlines for months. Fresh creative kept costs falling.
They compared against their own baseline
Len The Plumber and icelolly judged the new approach against their usual Search campaigns in the same markets, so the gain was real, not a good month.
