A B2B retailer raised Bing return on ad spend from 582% to 711% using Performance Max.

The retailer wanted to grow beyond branded search on Bing, a smaller platform that is hard to scale. Early Performance Max beta results were mixed.

The challenge.

Bing has a smaller audience, so performance rested on branded search and growth was capped. The aim was to earn revenue beyond brand terms with Performance Max.

What PUSH did.

PUSH imported a feed-only Performance Max campaign with a top against rest product split, replacing the old Smart Shopping set-up. Asset groups with images and text came next, split by subcategory, with the wording changed to meet Microsoft's policy by removing numbers.

PUSH then brought in Google Performance Max tactics: sub-categorised top products, competitor-focused asset groups and the removal of overspending products, while keeping profitable Bing-only products.
