Finding and attracting the ideal audience can be challenging and time-consuming for many advertisers. In-market Audiences can help you to quickly reach consumers who are ready to buy. Using artificial intelligence (AI), Microsoft is able to predict and identify people who’ve shown purchase intent signals within certain categories.

Let’s say you’re a home improvement supplier wanting to reach people who are ready to buy new patio furniture for summer barbeques. Bing Ads finds people who have recently searched for garden decorations, clicked on ads for outdoor grills, or read articles on summer party ideas. Using AI and machine learning, we’ve identified those people who are most likely to purchase within the Home & Garden audience, which you can easily associate with your ads.

Pilot participants have been seeing strong results from In-market Audiences: up to 28% higher click-through rates and up to 48% higher conversion rates¹. That’s why we’re excited to announce this feature is now available to everyone in the U.S. market.

“I can try new things like the In-market Audiences pilot, where I can rely on the intelligence of the system to guide me on who may be ready to purchase. We tapped into a larger audience and were excited to see nearly 27% increase in return on ad spend.” — Juliana Dean, digital marketing manager, Vegas.com

In-market Audiences best practices

• Choose the In-market Audiences categories that best align to your business goal. It’s important to start with the right set of customers, to help you focus your budget on people who matter to you.
• Associate the In-market Audiences to existing top-performing ad groups as “bid only” with 20% bid adjustment² and monitor for 2 weeks. This allows you to quickly compare the performance of ad groups using In-market Audiences against those not using them.
• Use Remarketing in paid search, Custom Audiences and In-market Audiences together to help you get the largest reach and impact. Remarketing and Custom Audiences let you target existing users who have bought before or those who have interacted with your site but have not yet converted. In-market Audiences allows you to expand the reach to those who may not have interacted with your site but are ready to buy. 
• Make sure all existing audiences associated with the ad group can be used as “bid only” before you change the targeting setting (“bid only” or “target and bid”). Targeting setting is an ad group level setting and is applied to all new and existing audience associations regardless of the audience category.
