Get your Microsoft Ads tracking to 95%+ accuracy guaranteed in writing.
Most accounts treat Bing as a side-channel and run a stock UET tag. No Enhanced Conversions, no offline imports, no audit. The result: Microsoft's Smart Bidding can't optimize, the channel under-performs on paper, and you stop investing — leaving cheap traffic on the table. We harden the UET, ship Enhanced Conversions, and wire offline imports so the channel finally earns its keep.

Microsoft Ads conversion goals and what each is for
Microsoft mirrors Google closely, including Enhanced Conversions and offline imports, and it uses its own click ID. Most accounts we see have the UET tag installed and nothing configured beyond it.
| Conversion goal | Fires when | Key parameters | Count / role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purchase | Order confirmed by the store | transaction_id, revenue, currency, msclkid, hashed email/phone | Every · Primary |
| Qualified lead | Sales marks the lead as real | msclkid, order_id, value, conversion_time | One · Primary (offline import) |
| Begin checkout | Checkout entered with a non-empty cart | revenue, currency | One · Secondary |
| Add to cart | Item added to cart | item_id, revenue, currency | One · Secondary |
| Form submitted | Form posts successfully | msclkid, hashed email, form_id | One · Secondary |
| Phone call | Tracked call passes the duration threshold | msclkid, hashed phone, call_duration | One · Secondary |
Microsoft Ads · normal or broken
Microsoft's numbers against Google's
Normal, not a fault
Far lower volume than Google Ads
Smaller search share. Judge the channel on cost per conversion, not on conversion count.
Older, higher-income audience converting differently
A genuine audience difference, consistently reported across accounts. It is a channel characteristic, not a tracking artifact.
Conversions credited to click date
Same behavior as Google. Recent days always look worse than they will.
Actually broken
UET tag present but no conversion goals defined
The most common state we find. The tag records traffic and optimizes toward nothing.
msclkid never captured
Auto-tagging off, or a redirect stripping the parameter. Offline imports then have nothing to match on.
Goals imported from Google Analytics and never checked
Imported goals inherit definitions that may have been fine in GA4 and are wrong as a bidding target.
Microsoft Ads · diagnose
Diagnosing a Microsoft Ads setup
- 01
Confirm auto-tagging and msclkid capture
On a real ad click, through every redirect, into a first-party cookie.
- 02
Read the UET tag status and conversion goal diagnostics
Microsoft reports when it last received a hit per goal.
- 03
Check which goals are counted toward Primary
Multiple primary goals split bidding attention the same way they do in Google Ads.
- 04
Verify revenue and currency in the payload
Numeric revenue, explicit currency, consistent treatment of tax and shipping.
- 05
Confirm Enhanced Conversions is receiving hashed data
Present in the interface but empty is a common state.
- 06
Reconcile a closed window against the backend
Seven closed days on a click-date basis, matched on transaction ID.

Microsoft Ads · when not to buy
When to skip this — Microsoft Ads
- You do not run Microsoft Ads. Importing Google campaigns without any intention of managing them creates spend without oversight.
- Microsoft is under about 5% of paid spend and your Google setup is not yet correct. Fix the larger channel first.
- Your audience is outside Microsoft's reach — very young, or in a market where Bing has negligible share.
