TeamShift with Microsoft Ads: reporting that tells you what Bing traffic brought in
Many small businesses run Microsoft Advertising as an afterthought, often imported from Google Ads and rarely checked. The same campaign can perform differently there than it does on Google, and few owners check. TeamShift connects to your Microsoft Ads account and the Growth worker reports on it in plain language: spend, clicks, calls and form leads, and which of those became paying customers. It suggests budget and keyword changes with its reasoning. Anything that changes spend waits for your OK.

Microsoft Ads: the short answers
What should Microsoft Ads reporting show a small business?
Good Microsoft Ads reporting shows spend, the leads it produced, and how many became customers, campaign by campaign. Microsoft's own dashboards and recommendations cover clicks and conversions inside the platform. TeamShift's Growth worker connects those numbers to leads in your inbox and CRM, explains changes week to week, and drafts budget or keyword suggestions for your approval.
Should I just import my Google Ads campaigns?
Importing is a reasonable way to start, and Microsoft makes it easy. The catch is that imported campaigns often keep settings that don't suit Bing traffic, and nobody looks again. TeamShift reviews the imported campaigns against what they actually bring in and flags where Microsoft Ads needs its own budget, keywords, or negatives.
Will TeamShift change my Microsoft Ads budget?
Not without your OK. Budget changes, bid changes, new keywords, and pausing or launching campaigns all affect spend, so the Growth worker prepares them as suggestions with the numbers behind them. Reading reports changes nothing. Approved changes are recorded so you can see when and why they happened.

FAQ
Questions owners ask
Is Microsoft Ads worth it for a small business?
It depends on your customers and market. TeamShift can't promise results, but it can show you what the account actually produced so you can decide with numbers.
Can it report Microsoft and Google Ads together?
Yes, if you connect both. The Growth worker can put them side by side by cost per lead and per booked job.
Will it create new campaigns?
It can draft a campaign plan with keywords and ad text. Nothing launches until you approve it.
Is this a replacement for an agency?
It covers reporting and suggestions. An agency brings human strategy and creative work, so weigh what you need.
