Optimizing SEO: Unpacking Microsoft Advertising’s Latest Updates and Features

As Seen On

The fast-evolving world of SEO has yet another noteworthy addition to its toolkit – Microsoft Advertising’s recent clutch of updates. With the introduction of Performance Max, the revised rollout of UET web insights, the globally available Code-free Conversion for Smart Campaigns accounts, and the impressive addition of 58 market regions to Microsoft Audience Ads, the landscape for Search Engine Optimization is set for a significant boost.

Microsoft Advertising’s Performance Max, currently in its open beta stage, presents itself as a veritable game-changer for SEO professionals. This feature allows for fine-tuning of ad creatives and targeting options, and that too, without active user management. It operates by auto-adjusting these parameters based on your ad’s performance, enabling businesses to maximize the engagement and visibility of their ads.

The journey of UET (Universal Event Tracking) web insights has also taken an interesting turn. Microsoft has moved away from automatic rollout, choosing instead to release this feature as a beta for advertisers starting July 25, 2023. Advertisers interested in testing the feature can manually opt-in. UET insights offer a comprehensive snapshot of user behavior on your site, providing insights into user journeys, better audience targeting, and richer bidding adjustments.

This new opt-in feature can be easily enabled from your UET dashboard. All the user needs to do is visit their UET dashboard, select UET tags from the menu, click “Create UET tag.” After providing the necessary details, select the ‘UET insights (beta)’ option before saving the settings.

Code-free Conversion has emerged as another major highlight in this suite of upgrades. The global availability of this feature now allows users to set conversion goals without the need to add a code snippet to their website. The elimination of coding offers advertisers a smoother path to setting up and recording conversions, thereby offering greater ease in optimizing SEO.

Perhaps one of the more impactful updates is the addition of 58 market regions to Microsoft Audience Ads, effectively expanding its reach to a total of 102 global markets. This profound expansion is intended to provide advertisers with a more extensive array of engaged, intent-based audiences, significantly enhancing their SEO strategies.

The potent combination of these updates from Microsoft Advertising presents a compelling proposition for marketers looking to optimize their SEO strategies; this is both in terms of increased audience reach and a toolkit for smart, efficient ad campaigning.

To ensure you fully leverage these tools, consider adding them to your SEO and marketing mix. Get an early start by testing out the UET Insights beta or exploring the possibilities with the newly expanded Microsoft Audience Ads.

As we continually align ourselves with the ever-evolving digital marketing landscape, we anticipate future updates from Microsoft Advertising to keep augmenting this SEO toolbox. Stay tuned to our platform for immediate and insightful updates on these developments.

Remember, staying ahead of trends is pivotal in the dynamic and competitive realm of SEO. Embrace these innovative tools and features to supercharge your SEO strategies and stay right on top of your marketing game.

Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.

Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).

This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.

I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
