Microsoft Advertising conversion tracking

Microsoft clicks come from the same kinds of searches as Google's, but its bidding is blind if no conversion comes back. Switch on the Microsoft Ads pixel for your landing pages and keep the msclkid on every lead.

Why connect it

Why Microsoft Advertising and LanderLab

  • Conversion tracking without a pasted tag

    The Microsoft Ads pixel is a LanderLab integration. Switch it on for a page and publish, and the landing page reports conversions to Microsoft Advertising.

  • Conversion goals that count leads

    With conversions reported from the page, automated bidding in Microsoft Advertising works from leads, not page loads.

  • The msclkid saved with each lead

    With auto-tagging, Microsoft Advertising adds an msclkid to each click. A hidden field keeps it on the lead, so your CRM knows which click paid for the contact.

  • Closed jobs back as offline conversions

    Microsoft Advertising takes offline conversions by msclkid within 90 days of the click, so booked jobs and signed policies can train bidding, not only form fills.

  • Remarketing lists from landing page visitors

    UET data builds remarketing lists, so visitors who read the page and left can see a second ad on Bing.

  • Your Google landing pages, reused as they are

    Nothing about the page changes for a second engine. The landing pages you built for Google ad groups serve Microsoft traffic with their own pixel and click ID.

Microsoft Advertising on your landing pages

Most search buyers run Microsoft Advertising as the second engine behind Google, often with the same keywords and the same landing pages. That only pays if Microsoft's bidding knows which clicks became leads, which means conversion tracking on the landing page.

LanderLab has a Microsoft Ads pixel built in for browser-side conversion tracking. It's saved to your LanderLab account once and switched on per page, on the variants you choose, so there's no tag to paste on each landing page and nothing to forget when you publish a new one. A hidden field keeps the msclkid on every lead for the sales your CRM uploads later.

It suits search-driven lead gen that already works on Google: home services, Medicare and insurance, legal intake, B2B demos. Same pages, a second source of leads, measured the same way.

Bing search traffic, measured on leads

A page visit isn't what you're paying for. With the Microsoft Ads pixel on the landing page, conversions are reported from the visitor's browser to Microsoft Advertising, and your conversion goals turn the lead into the number Microsoft reports and bids on.

Because the pixel lives in your account, every landing page you switch it on for reports the same way. A new ad group's page is tracked from its first click instead of after someone remembers to paste a tag.

msclkid from the click to the signed contract

The msclkid is the thread that ties a sale back to a Bing click. LanderLab saves it on the lead through a hidden field and delivers it to your CRM, sheet or webhook with the rest of the form, along with the page and variant the visitor saw.

When the job is booked, your CRM can upload it to Microsoft Advertising by msclkid within 90 days of the click. Bidding then learns from revenue, which a cheap form fill on a low-intent keyword never provides.

Quiz funnels on Microsoft search traffic

A ZIP-first quiz often beats a long form on search traffic, and it still has to be measured. On Scale and up, visitors who give up halfway stay in LanderLab's Leads tab as Partial leads for your own follow-up, while finished quizzes are the leads you judge the campaign on.

Run the Google playbook on Microsoft

If a landing page works on Google, there's no reason to rebuild it for Bing. Point Microsoft ad groups at the same pages, switch on the Microsoft Ads pixel next to Google's, and capture both gclid and msclkid with hidden fields. Each lead then says which engine it came from, and Pass Through URL Params keeps the click ID on any link to the next step.

Use cases

Ways to use Microsoft Advertising on paid traffic

  • 01

    Medicare plan comparisons

    A ZIP-first quiz on Bing search reports its leads to Microsoft Advertising, the msclkid goes to the call center's CRM with each lead, and enrolled members are uploaded as offline conversions.

  • 02

    Bath and kitchen remodel quotes

    The same remodel landing pages that run on Google take Microsoft traffic. With quote requests reported, Microsoft's bidding favors the searches that turn into booked estimates.

  • 03

    B2B software demos

    Demo pages per keyword theme report each request, and the msclkid on each lead lets sales-qualified demos go back as offline conversions.

FAQ

Microsoft Advertising integration FAQ

Anything not here, ask us.

Microsoft Advertising and LanderLab

Does LanderLab integrate with Microsoft Advertising?

Yes. The Microsoft Ads pixel is built in for browser-side conversion tracking, saved to your LanderLab account and switched on per page.

Is it worth tracking Microsoft separately if I already track Google Ads?

Yes, if you run Microsoft ads. Microsoft's bidding only learns from conversions reported to Microsoft, and your Google tracking tells it nothing.

Do I need to paste the UET tag or use Tag Manager?

No. The Microsoft Ads pixel is a LanderLab integration, so there's no tag to paste on each page.

Will Microsoft Advertising see my UTMs and the msclkid?

Yes. Both stay on the page URL, hidden fields save them with each lead, and Pass Through URL Params forwards them to the next page.

Can I import closed deals into Microsoft Advertising?

Yes, from your CRM, by msclkid within 90 days of the click, because every lead carries its msclkid from the page.
