Search Advertising Pricing

How much does pay-per-click advertising cost?

With Microsoft pay-per-click advertising, the amount you spend on your campaign is based on two factors:
  • Your monthly search campaign budget
  • Your maximum bid

Pay-per-click advertising

Microsoft pay-per-click advertising is based on a pay-per-click (PPC) cost model. You determine 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 might even pay less. With PPC advertising, one cent more than the next highest bid guarantees your ad is displayed.
