Winery Bing Ads management for tasting rooms and events

Bing Ads (Microsoft Advertising) puts search ads beside the results on the Microsoft network. We build and run winery campaigns there for a release weekend, an event or a club window, and the owner reads every line before it goes live.

Alcohol is a restricted category on this platform, as on the others, so the ads are written for adult audiences against the platform's current rules.

Where a second search platform fits on the winery board

On the tasting board, Google Ads is the first small pour and Bing Ads (Microsoft Advertising) is another glass set beside it. The ad text and landing pages are drawn from the same approved facts about the tasting room, the events and the club, so the two platforms say the same thing about the winery.

The platform is a separate account with its own budget, its own rules and its own report. That separation is useful, because the monthly card can show the winery's calls and form requests for each platform apart from the others, and the owner can decide whether to keep a platform on the board. Our Google Ads for wineries page covers the first glass, and winery paid ads management shows how the platforms are stacked.

Microsoft sets its own restrictions on alcohol advertising, and states set theirs. We do not describe what is allowed. The owner reads the current rules and approves each statement before an ad runs.

What a winery campaign on the Microsoft network contains

  • Ad text

    Drafts written for each date

    Headlines and descriptions for one release weekend, event or club window, sent to the owner as a draft first.

  • Keywords

    A list built around visits

    Searches an adult planning a tasting-room or event visit might type, such as winery tasting near me, with stray phrases blocked.

  • Landing page

    A destination that matches

    Each ad points to a page for the tasting room, an event type or the club, written from the same approved facts.

  • The account

    Opened in the owner's name

    The login and the card belong to the owner, and Microsoft bills the click spend straight to that card.

How a winery adds the Microsoft platform to its plan

  1. The tasting-room facts are settled

    The landing pages and the approved statements already exist from search work or from Google Ads, so the new account starts from them.

  2. The account is opened by the owner

    We guide the owner through opening it, attaching a card and setting a budget, and the owner reads the platform's current alcohol rules.

  3. A first campaign goes up for one date

    One release weekend or event gets a draft, then the owner's approval, then the campaign. The monthly card records the calls and form requests that follow.

Questions about the Microsoft platform and the winery

Must a winery run Bing Ads (Microsoft Advertising) to be on Google?
No. Each platform is its own decision, and one platform is enough to begin. Adding the Microsoft platform moves the plan from one ad platform to two.
Who writes the ad lines for the Microsoft platform?
We write the drafts and the owner decides. Nothing is switched on until the owner has read the lines next to the platform's current rules and the state's.
Does the click budget pass through the agency?
No. The owner sets the budget on the account, and Microsoft charges it to the owner's card. Our fee for the plan is a separate monthly line.
Can the same landing pages serve Google Ads and this platform?
Yes. The pages come from the winery SEO work, and either platform can point to them, which is why the winery SEO page is worth reading beside this one.
Is the owner told what the Microsoft rules say?
The owner is told where to read them. What they say, and how they apply in the winery's state, is for the owner to read and decide.

Ask whether a second glass belongs on your board

Message us with the dates on your winery's calendar and we will say if the Microsoft network deserves a place in the plan, or pick a time for the CEO to call.

Which part of the winery needs people first?

Think of the visitors you want more of: tasting reservations, events or club sign-ups, and the towns they drive in from. Please keep guest names and private details out of the note.

Tell us about the winery and its next busy weekend

Say which part of the winery needs more visitors and which towns you draw from. A few lines will do.

Choose a day, then a half hour. At that moment the number you gave above rings, with our CEO Ross Cohen on the line.

Pick the hour for the call

The hour you choose is written out here.

Offered starts are weekday half hours, written out in whichever zone the box above is set to.

Start with one call about your cellar door

On the call we choose what the winery needs first: a page for the tasting room, one for events, one for each town that sends visitors, or ads for a release weekend. Beginning carries no extra charge, and nothing you sign locks in a later month.
