Which platform offers better CPA<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

CPA, cost per action is another aspect of PPC. <\/span><\/p>\n

CPA\u00a0 allows you to determine the action taken by the users after the click. <\/span><\/p>\n

S<\/span>o what these actions mean? <\/span><\/p>\n

The total number of view, leads or sales that you want to measure. <\/span><\/p>\n

Basically any conversion-related action is accounted as CPA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Higher CPA means better ROI! This is where Bing gives edge across all industries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The average CPA on bing accounts to $41.44<\/span><\/p>\n

When compared to Google ads, bing\u2019s average CPA came 30% lower.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s due to the fact that Bing\u2019s CPC is much lower.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So which are these verticals those account to a higher CPA?<\/span><\/p>\n

Clients advertising for home services accounts for a higher return on Bing. <\/span><\/p>\n

On average, the CPA for home services is recorded at around $21.68%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the reasons is that Bing\u2019s audience is typically more educated, affluent and older when compared to Google.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, this helps many high-value industries convert searches easily and at a better rate on Bing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But it\u2019s important to note that Bing\u2019s audience isn\u2019t perfect for everyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s recall the data, 34% of the desktop using audience is still coming from Bing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This age group of audience oftentimes seems to be less tech-savvy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s one reason it helps advertises in the tech space reap a higher CPA from bing ads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here a list of verticals records less CPA :

\n<\/span><\/p>\n

How are Google and Bing different in features?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have seen the major differences between Google ads and Bing ads. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bing ads aren\u2019t just limited to growing reach and reduced CPC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are some other benefits of Bing PPC which can give you a lead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have picked the top 5 features of bing ads. <\/span><\/p>\n

These features when combining google ads can easily give you lead. How? Let\u2019s take a look:<\/span><\/p>\n

Import Google Ads campaign directly into bing ads\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Not many know but bing ad platform offers an interesting option for advertisers. <\/span><\/p>\n

It allows you to directly import the existing google ads campaign into bing ads. <\/span><\/p>\n

What real help does it give to advertisers? <\/span><\/p>\n

Well, with the import feature your campaign is ready to run without having to create from scratch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Increased granular control\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

While both platforms offer targeting options, its Bing offers more granular targeting. <\/span><\/p>\n

Targeting filters are an important way to execute a successful campaign. <\/span><\/p>\n

More filters lead to focussed targeting. This is Bing ads are different from Google ads<\/span><\/p>\n

Google allows targeting the campaign based on network, location, language, ad scheduling and ad rotation based on a campaign level. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is not the case in the bing ads. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bing offers targeting options at the ad group level. <\/span><\/p>\n

Also with bing, the advertisers can assign different ad campaigns to different time zones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is one feature that ads doesn\u2019t offer while running a campaign.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Improved Device Targeting<\/b><\/h3>\n

Gone are the days when users would rely on the 32-inch desktop screens to get information. <\/span><\/p>\n

With varied forms of devices, the options are wide for the users and for the advertisers. <\/span><\/p>\n

You need to know which device your audience is using to execute a well-targeted campaign. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is where Bing ads beat google ads as it offers device targeting. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bing allows advertisers to target the users depending on their device type and OS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It also allows the advertisers not to show the campaign on desktops, if your ideal audience is on mobile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Video search<\/b><\/h3>\n

Video search is an emerging trend. Google knows this very well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of the reasons Google has been preaching youtube for quite a long time now. Google\u2019s youtube feature is very potent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is something bing don\u2019t offer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, bing does have a video search interface. <\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s interesting to note is that bing\u2019s video search interface is preferred by many users over Google\u2019s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why?<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, bing doesn\u2019t offer a vertical list of videos with small thumbnails.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But it does give a grid view of larger thumbnails.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The benefit? Well, you can easily play this without ever leaving the bing interface. <\/span><\/p>\n

Also, there\u2019s a preview option of the video.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Auto-complete<\/b><\/h3>\n

Haven\u2019t you ever relied on autosuggest?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, we rely on them all the time! <\/span><\/p>\n

That goes for your users too who are looking for what you sell without typing too much.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Auto-suggest quickly shows you searches based on your query.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For users, bing autocomplete suggestions are a big help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where Bing goes one step ahead of Google.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Google only provides 4 suggestions in autocomplete, bing offers 8 suggestions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What does this mean?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It means that the user query will be answered with only a\u00a0 few keystrokes. Also reducing the chance of misspelling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many advertisers mistakenly take this feature for granted. <\/span><\/p>\n

But a closer analysis reveals that bing\u2019s feature is a result of advanced technicality and computational horsepower.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As we have seen, many times a user end up spending more time to get the right results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wrong spelling is one of the reasons. <\/span><\/p>\n

You enter a query, scan through the listed results and refine again till you get what you are looking for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where autosuggest rescue you. It quickly provides you with a list of suggestions as you start typing a query.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s consider an example here:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Imagine a user begin a search by typing the query prefix (American).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this, the intent is not yet clear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The user might be interested in American express for a new credit card. Or looking for American idol maybe because he\/she is a fan of the show. Or something else.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At this point, the user can pick one of the provided searches or continue typing with another word.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, a lot of work goes behind the algorithms before it shows you the suggestions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The algorithms scan through billions of search queries and make the list depending on many factors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this case, one of the factors could be how many times users have searched for a query with a prefix American.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the surface, auto suggests gains seem to be minor. But in today\u2019s world, where speed and relevance are driving everything, this is a huge plus and Bing makes the most of it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This certainly helps the users but that\u2019s not it. These autocomplete suggestions play a major role for digital marketers too.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the case of bing, the searching speed is increased by 16% by reducing clicks and frequency of typed letters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Result? The search process is faster, relevant with more autocomplete suggestions at bing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We know Google only gives 4 suggestions while bing offers 8.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This feature is a big bonus for users who are using autocomplete to search for alternative products or looking for wild card suggestions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Extra Features\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

When it comes to extra features both search engines are neck to neck. <\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, Google beats Bing with features like reverse image search and voice search.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bing, simultaneously beats Google in some aspects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some of those:<\/span><\/p>\n

Bing rewards<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Bing offer rewards for doing something which you do it all the time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That is surfing! Yes, bing gives rewards for your everyday search.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wondering what real benefit would these rewards give?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, the rewards bing gives you can be used to grab a new game or buying a new laptop. Each point is converted by the search engine for per dollar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As you earn more points, they can be used to shop online at the Microsoft store.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sitelink extensions<\/b><\/h3>\n

Ever thought what makes the user click an ad?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, the additional information that the ad display is one of the important factors. It can persuade the search users to click the advertisement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This additional information gives the ad an opportunity to stand out from the crowd. It gives the user crucial details about the advertisement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These details include information related to price, discount, limited offer, demos, freebies and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Such details attract the attention of the users quickly. Let\u2019s not forget we live in a world where the attention span of humans is less than that of a goldfish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Capturing the user’s attention is important and difficult at the same time. Sitelink extensions are extremely important in this regard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So when they are displayed it attracts the attention of the users instantly.<\/span><\/p>\n

While both Bing PPC and Google AdWords allow you to filter your ad’s targeting, Bing’s software has a unique innovation that sets it apart from Google.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With Bing, you can set age filters for your search ads, so only visitors of a certain age group will see them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or, you can set up a location filter so visitors in a certain part of the world see your content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This way, you’ll ensure qualified leads are being exposed to your marketing campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another key feature that Bing has an advantage in is its social extensions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Social extensions are a line of copy on your ad that tells the visitor how many social media followers your business has.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Bing, this feature shows your social following for Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Google AdWords, however, can only show you the number of Google+ followers.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does this comparative data suggest?<\/b><\/h2>\n

We have seen how different verticals performance varies on Google and bing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, there is no one size fit for everyone!.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What works for x may not work for Y.<\/span><\/p>\n

The figures clearly reflect an interesting performance on bing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But let’s not forget it vary from one vertical to another.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bing ads surprise advertisers with a very strong performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But we have seen how bing\u2019s reach is far less than Google\u2019s reach. Again I repeat, no ad platform is perfect!.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This calls for a complete marketing strategy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The strategy should be made depending on your vertical. Also, the advertisers should content by running the ads on one platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Multiple ad campaigns should be run across different networks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, your prospective customers don\u2019t use just on the platform. The different audience runs ads on different sites.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A complete marketing strategy would ensure that your target audience is focussed well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So if you find yourself struggling with poor performance on any platform, you know there\u2019s still plenty of room for improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
