Veterinarian Bing Ads management for vet clinics

Bing Ads (Microsoft Advertising) puts a clinic's ads beside search results on Microsoft's engine. We build the campaigns, run them in an account the clinic owns, and count the calls and web forms that come from each one.

For a vet practice it works well as a second platform, added once the owner has read how the first one is doing. Each campaign is written for one service in one town, so the ad and the page it opens match. A clinic with two or more locations gets campaigns for each address, never one blended list.

Where a second search platform belongs

A clinic that already runs Google Ads has done much of the thinking Bing Ads needs: which services to promote, which towns to reach, and which searches to keep away from the budget. We carry those lists across and adjust them for the new platform instead of starting from a blank sheet.

A person who types vet near me into Microsoft's engine sees a different results page from the one on Google, so the campaign is read and tuned on its own. The owner sets the monthly budget and pays Microsoft directly. What the ads may say about care, credentials, hours and prices is also the owner's call, along with Microsoft's rules for ad wording.

Our paid ads overview shows how a platform is added to a plan.

What a Bing Ads campaign for a clinic holds

  • Menu

    One ad group per service

    Each service on the owner's list gets its own set of ads, so the wording on screen matches what the clinic offers.

  • Map

    Targeting by town

    Locations are set to the towns the clinic draws from, with the street address and phone number worded the same way as everywhere else.

  • Filters

    Negative keywords

    Job seekers, vet-school students and supply shoppers are blocked so those clicks never reach the bill.

  • Counting

    Inbound calls and forms per ad

    A tracking number and a form count for each campaign show which ads the front desk's phone and inbox are answering.

From the first draft to a live campaign

  1. The owner opens the account

    The clinic creates its own Bing Ads (Microsoft Advertising) account and adds its card. We are invited in as managers.

  2. We draft; the owner reads

    Keywords, ad wording and locations arrive as a draft. Edits and strike-outs from the owner go in before anything runs.

  3. The campaign runs and is counted

    Spend, calls and forms are set side by side each month, and the owner chooses whether to change the budget or add another platform.

Questions about the Microsoft platform

Does a clinic need Google Ads running first?
No. Bing Ads can be the first platform on the plan. Many owners begin with Google Ads, and the lists carry across when Bing Ads is added.
Whose name is on the ad account?
The clinic does, under its own login and card. We are added as managers, and the owner can remove us from the account whenever the owner likes.
Do we pay Microsoft or the agency for clicks?
The clinic pays Microsoft for clicks. Our invoice shows our monthly fee and no ad spend.
Can an ad promise anything about the clinic's care or prices?
Only what the owner writes and approves, within Microsoft's rules for ad claims. We draft the marketing wording and leave those statements to the practice.
Do the ads use client or pet details?
No. Client names, pet names and record details are kept out of ads, forms and tracking tools.
