What it is

“A smaller audience that converts better at a lower cost is not a smaller opportunity.”

A principal, Kaelo Digital Marketing

Microsoft Advertising is systematically under-used in B2B, and the reason is habit rather than analysis. The audience is smaller, skews older and more corporate, and sits on desktops inside organisations that standardise on Windows and Edge. For businesses selling into corporates, that composition is often better than the raw volume difference suggests, and the auction is thinner.

What’s included

Four areas of scope
01

Judged on composition, not volume

The right comparison is cost per qualified outcome, not impression share. A smaller audience that converts better at a lower cost is not a smaller opportunity.

02

Import, then diverge

Importing existing search campaigns is the sensible starting point and a poor ending point. The audience differs enough that keeping the accounts identical wastes the advantage.

03

Corporate desktop context

Search behaviour from a managed corporate desktop differs from personal-device search — more research, more comparison, longer sessions.

04

Realistic scale expectations

This will not replace your primary search channel. It is usually a profitable supplement, and treating it as a replacement leads to disappointment.

How the work runs

STEP 01

Import and baseline

Start from what works, then measure separately.

STEP 02

Diverge deliberately

Bids, copy and negatives tuned to the actual audience.

STEP 03

Judge on qualified outcomes

Not on volume parity with your primary channel.

When to come to us

  1. 01 You sell into corporate or public-sector organisations.
  2. 02 Your primary search channel is competitive and expensive.
  3. 03 Your buyer researches from a work machine.

What we do not do

  • Expecting volume parity with a larger search channel.
  • Running an identical copy of your primary account indefinitely.

Common questions

Is the volume worth the management overhead?
Often yes for corporate B2B, because the incremental management cost is small once the account exists and the auction is less contested. For consumer categories with a young audience, frequently not.
When is it the wrong channel?
Young consumer audiences, mobile-first categories, and anywhere your buyer is not searching from a work machine.
