Microsoft Ads built to reach the professional audiences and untapped demand your competitors overlook.

Bing search, LinkedIn profile targeting, and lower competition: T-F turns the overlooked channel into an advantage.

Everyone's bidding on Google while Microsoft's audience goes underpriced. Temper And Forge helps you buy demand cheaper.

All Work

Our Microsoft Ads Process

01

Opportunity and audience mapping

We size the Microsoft opportunity for your specific market: search volume on Bing, the professional demographics the network over-indexes on, and where LinkedIn profile targeting creates options Google can't match. Some businesses find gold here. We tell you honestly if yours won't.

02

Campaign import and restructuring

Existing Google campaigns get imported, then rebuilt for how Microsoft's network behaves: different demographics, different device mix, different auction dynamics. A straight copy-paste import leaves the channel's advantages on the table.

03

Bid and audience optimization

Lower competition means smarter bidding wins more. We optimize bids, demographics, and LinkedIn profile targeting against your acquisition targets, tightening the account weekly as conversion data accumulates.

04

Cross-platform performance view

Microsoft performance is reported alongside your other paid channels, in the same terms: cost per qualified acquisition and pipeline contribution. You see where the channel wins, where it doesn't, and how the budget mix should shift as a result.

Our team

The people behind the bids.

Paid media specialists who find the auctions where your budget buys more and prove it in the reporting.

Temper And Forge has designed and developed two WordPress websites for us and is currently developing a third. They integrated a shopping cart and class registration feature, and they demonstrated exceptional flexibility when we shifted priorities mid-project — adapting without missing a beat and consistently delivering work ahead of schedule. Temper And Forge introduced tools like Figma that became part of our ongoing workflow, and their close-knit leadership kept communication seamless throughout. We've seen an increase in our email sign-ups and website engagement, and the team has produced the best work for us.
