How Much Does Search Advertising Cost?

How Much Does Search Advertising Cost?

With Microsoft search advertising, the amount you spend on your search advertising campaign is based on two factors:
  • Your monthly search campaign budget.
  • Your maximum bid (the highest amount you’re willing to pay when someone clicks on your ad).

 

You Pay Only When Someone Clicks on Your Ad

Microsoft search advertising is based on a pay-per-click (PPC) cost model. This means that you specify your base bid—which is the maximum amount you’re willing to pay when someone clicks on your ad.

You’ll never be charged more than your base bid and you may even pay less. In search advertising, you just need to pay one cent more than the next highest bidder to ensure your ad is displayed.
