It’s simple to get up and
running with Microsoft
Advertising adCenter.
Create your first campaign with
these building blocks:
Budgeting, bidding, and targeting:
Decide how much you want to spend
and who you want to reach.
Ads and ad groups: Organise your
ads into groups.
Keywords: Select the words that
trigger the display of your ads.
4
Select the
right keywords.
Carefully choose the words and
phrases that are most relevant to
your products and services.
Example: If your business only sells flights,
don’t bid on keywords like ‘flight simulation’
Choose among broad, phrase, and
exact match to expand your
keyword reach.
Example: if your keyword is "red toy boats"
and you have selected match types exact
match and broad match, then your ad could
serve if a customer searches for “boats red
toy” or “ red toy boats”.
