Bing Ads Updates – Third Headlines

November 21, 2018 //  by Daniel Crummack//  Leave a Comment

Last Updated on July 31, 2020

Pay Per Click

Bing Ads is Microsoft’s Pay Per Click platform. While Bing may not have the market share that Google does, it’s still a big player in the search engine world, with around 20% of the market. So, when Bing Ads makes a change, it’s worth paying attention. Recently they’ve announced they’re going to be adding a third headline, and a second ad text to their ads.

Experimental PPC

In many ways, although they probably wouldn’t publicly admit it, Bing often follows the lead of Google Ads. With Google Ads having such a large market share, Microsoft find themselves in a tough position. If their PPC platform is drastically different from Google’s offering it may put users off, who might baulk at having to use two totally different interfaces, or ad structures. So, they find themselves in a position where, to some extent at least, they follow what Google does. However, that doesn’t mean they don’t innovate sometimes.

Seconds and Thirds

One new idea that has recently appeared on Bing Ads is the ability to add a third heading and a second ad text. This increases the number of available characters you have to sell your products considerably, giving you at least 15 more characters in total. The changes have also already been added to the Bing Ads editor, so if you prefer to edit your ads offline, you can already take advantage of the new features.

So, if you’re using Bing Ads, you should get onto the platform and make sure all of your ads are using the extra space. Because, with the holiday season afoot, you need to take any advantage you can get.

Expanded Ads

These changes in some ways mirror changes that Google have made to their responsive ads, but they do have a slightly different layout. Do you prefer Google Ads to Bing Ads? Or do you think that they should both forge their own paths? We’d love to hear what you think.

I have nothing but great things to say about the team at The Spectrum Group Online. For years, they've been managing my website, making sure it's up to date and that there are no issues. In the last 4 months, they've been running Facebook ads for me, and I'm thrilled with the results. Great ads. Tons of leads. A steady effort to improve the leads. Very responsive. If you want to be seen on social media, you should definitely talk to The Spectrum Group Online.

Spectrum has been managing my website for years. Technology and web security changes often, making it hard for a small business to keep up. I never worry because the Spectrum team takes care of the critical details. I particularly appreciate they proactively keep my website safe and secure. Peace of mind and great customer service. That's why I can highly recommend them!

Our business grew, greatly due to the efforts of the Spectrum team. They are a focused company with great experience and plenty of talent to support their process. Jen Currier, in particular, is an excellent PM, who helped us every step of the way. They helped us re-design our website from the ground up and used tools such as Keyword Research and Heatmaps to help drive leads to our company. We had the best year in the history of our company, in part due to Spectrum's efforts. I do not hesitate to highly recommend them.
