Microsoft Advertising (formerly Bing Ads) remains one of the most underutilised advertising platforms, yet it captures 33% of U.S. desktop search traffic and delivers 20-40% lower CPCs than Google Ads. For agencies managing multiple clients, a Microsoft Ads agency account (MCC) unlocks multi-client management, consolidated billing, higher spending limits, and exclusive features like LinkedIn Profile targeting.

This guide covers everything agencies need to know about buying and managing a Microsoft Ads agency account, from MCC features and pricing to LinkedIn targeting and cross-platform campaign scaling.

What Is a Bing Ads Agency Account (MCC)?

A Microsoft Advertising agency account, also called a Manager account or MCC (My Client Center), is a top-level account designed for agencies, consultants, and large advertisers who manage multiple advertising accounts. Think of it as a master dashboard that sits above individual client accounts.

With an agency MCC, you can:

• Create and manage unlimited client advertising accounts from one login
• Consolidate billing across all accounts or use separate billing per client
• View cross-account performance reports and analytics
• Share audience lists, conversion goals, and UET tags across accounts
• Set account-level permissions for team members and clients
• Access dedicated Microsoft account manager support

MCC Account Hierarchy

The hierarchy works like this: Your agency MCC sits at the top. Under it, you create or link individual advertiser accounts for each client. Each client account has its own campaigns, budgets, and billing (or shares agency billing). Team members can be granted access to specific client accounts without seeing others.

Agency Account Benefits vs Standard Accounts

Key MCC Features for Agencies

1. Consolidated Billing & Invoicing

Choose between agency billing (one invoice for all client spend) or individual client billing (each client billed separately). Agency billing simplifies accounting and cash flow. You can also set credit lines with Microsoft for large agency spend.

2. Cross-Account Reporting

Pull performance data across all client accounts in a single report. Compare client performance, identify top-performing campaigns, and export to Excel, Google Sheets, or BI tools. Custom reporting schedules deliver automated reports via email.

3. Shared Audiences & UET Tags

Create remarketing lists, in-market audiences, and custom audiences at the MCC level and share them across client accounts. Universal Event Tracking (UET) tags can also be shared, reducing implementation overhead for agencies managing many sites.

4. Automated Rules & Scripts

Set automated rules that work across accounts, pause underperforming campaigns, adjust bids based on performance thresholds, and send alerts when KPIs change. Microsoft Ads Scripts (JavaScript-based) provide advanced automation for agencies with custom requirements.

5. Bulk Operations

Use Microsoft Advertising Editor (desktop app) or the Bulk API to make changes across thousands of campaigns simultaneously. Import and export campaign data in bulk for large-scale account management.

Why Microsoft Ads for Agencies in 2026

Most agencies focus exclusively on Google Ads and Meta, leaving Microsoft Ads as untapped revenue. Here's why that's a mistake:

Lower CPCs, Higher Margins

Microsoft Ads' average CPC of $1.54 vs Google's .69 means your clients get 40% more clicks for the same budget. For agencies charging a percentage of ad spend, this means better client results at lower cost, which improves retention and allows you to scale spend.

Affluent, High-Intent Audience

Bing users skew older (35-65), higher income ($75K+), and more desktop-oriented than Google users. This demographic is ideal for B2B services, financial products, legal services, real estate, healthcare, insurance, and luxury e-commerce.

LinkedIn Profile Targeting (Exclusive)

Microsoft is the only search platform that offers LinkedIn profile data for targeting. Target by company name, industry, job function, and seniority directly in search campaigns. No other platform offers this for search ads.

Google Campaign Import

The built-in import tool copies your entire Google Ads structure to Microsoft in minutes. Campaign structure, keywords, ads, extensions, bid strategies, everything transfers. You can even schedule recurring imports to keep Microsoft accounts synchronised with Google.

Less Competition

Most advertisers pour 90%+ of their search budget into Google, leaving Microsoft with significantly less advertiser competition. Lower competition means lower CPCs, higher ad positions, and better conversion rates for the same keywords.

Agency Account Types & Pricing

Pricing for agency accounts depends on the provider and account tier. At Unled Network, we offer all three tiers with instant setup and dedicated support. Contact us on Telegram for current pricing and bulk discounts.

Importing Google Ads Campaigns to Microsoft Ads

One of Microsoft Ads' best features for agencies is the Google Ads import tool. Here's how to use it effectively.

What Gets Imported

• Campaign structure (campaigns, ad groups)
• Keywords with match types and bids
• Text ads, responsive search ads, and dynamic search ads
• Ad extensions (sitelinks, callouts, structured snippets, call extensions)
• Bid strategies and automated bidding rules
• Audience targeting and remarketing lists
• Negative keyword lists

What Doesn't Import (Adjust Manually)

• Performance Max campaigns (no Microsoft equivalent)
• Display campaigns (Microsoft has its own Audience Network)
• Some Google-specific extensions
• Landing page URLs may need updating if Google-specific tracking is used

Import Best Practices

1. Start with your top-performing campaigns. Import your 5-10 best Google campaigns first rather than everything at once.
2. Adjust bids down 15-25%. Microsoft CPCs are lower, so start with reduced bids and optimise from there.
3. Add LinkedIn targeting overlays. After import, layer LinkedIn audience targeting on top of your search campaigns for B2B clients.
4. Schedule recurring imports. If you frequently update Google campaigns, set a weekly import schedule to keep Microsoft in sync.
5. Review device targeting. Microsoft skews desktop-heavy, so adjust device bid modifiers accordingly.

LinkedIn Profile Targeting

This is Microsoft Ads' killer feature for B2B agencies. LinkedIn Profile targeting lets you target search ads based on LinkedIn profile data, something no other platform offers for search campaigns.

Available Targeting Dimensions

You can use LinkedIn targeting as:

• Bid-only. Show ads to everyone but bid higher for LinkedIn-matched users
• Target and bid. Only show ads to users matching your LinkedIn criteria

Scaling Microsoft Ads Across Clients

Step 1: Identify High-Potential Clients

Not every client will benefit equally from Microsoft Ads. Prioritise clients in industries with strong Bing performance: financial services, B2B/SaaS, legal, healthcare, insurance, education, real estate, and automotive. E-commerce clients with AOV above $50 also perform well.

Step 2: Start with Google Import

Import the client's top Google campaigns, adjust bids down 20%, and run for 2-4 weeks to gather data. This gives you a performance baseline with minimal setup time.

Step 3: Optimise for Microsoft

After initial data, optimise specifically for Microsoft's audience:

• Increase desktop bid modifiers (Bing skews 70% desktop)
• Add LinkedIn targeting for B2B clients
• Expand to Microsoft Audience Network (native ads on MSN, Outlook, Edge)
• Test different ad copy that resonates with Bing's older, higher-income audience

Step 4: Pitch to Non-Microsoft Clients

Use your initial client results as case studies to pitch Microsoft Ads to other clients. Frame it as "untapped incremental revenue" rather than a replacement for Google. Most clients see 15-25% increase in total search revenue by adding Microsoft Ads.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Microsoft Ads agency account (MCC)?

A Microsoft Ads agency account (MCC / Manager account) lets you manage multiple client advertising accounts from a single dashboard. It provides consolidated billing, cross-account reporting, shared audiences, and the ability to create new client accounts without separate signups. Agency accounts also get higher spending limits and dedicated Microsoft support.

How much does a Bing Ads agency account cost?

Pricing varies by account tier and provider. Standard MCC accounts are the most affordable, whilst enterprise agency accounts with custom SLAs cost more. Contact Unled Network for current pricing and bulk discounts for agencies managing 10+ client accounts.

Can I import Google Ads campaigns into a Bing Ads agency account?

Yes. Microsoft Ads has a native import tool that copies your entire Google Ads campaign structure, campaigns, ad groups, keywords, ads, extensions, and bid strategies, into any account managed by your agency MCC. The import takes minutes and you can schedule recurring imports to keep accounts in sync.

What is the difference between a standard Bing Ads account and an agency account?

A standard account manages one advertiser. An agency account (MCC) manages unlimited client accounts from one login, with consolidated billing, cross-account reporting, shared conversion goals, and audience lists. Agency accounts also receive higher spending limits, priority support, and early access to beta features.

Do I need Microsoft Partner status to get an agency account?

No. Whilst Microsoft Partner Network membership provides additional benefits, co-marketing funds, training, badges, you don't need partner status to use an agency MCC account. Unled Network provides ready-to-use agency accounts with full MCC capabilities regardless of your partnership status.

How does LinkedIn targeting work with Microsoft Ads?

LinkedIn targeting lets you layer LinkedIn profile data, company, industry, job function, on top of your search campaigns. You can bid higher for LinkedIn-matched users or restrict ads to only show to users matching your LinkedIn criteria. This is exclusive to Microsoft Ads, no other search platform offers it.
