Connect Bing Ads

Connect Microsoft Advertising data to Incendium reporting.

Updated 9 August 2026

Why connect Microsoft Advertising

The Bing Ads connection brings campaign and cost data into the same measurement layer used for Google, Meta and other traffic. A consistent calculation makes smaller channels easier to evaluate fairly and prevents their contribution being hidden by platform-specific reporting conventions.

Connect the account

Open Bing Ads

Go to Settings → Connections → Integrations and choose the Bing Ads connection.

Authenticate with an authorised user

Use a Microsoft account with access to the intended advertising account.

Confirm the account scope

Select the account that owns the campaigns for this project, then complete the connection.

Check a known spend period

Use a recent period with active campaigns and allow time for the first synchronisation.

Verification checklist

  • The card shows a valid connection rather than an expired or disconnected state.
  • Spend is present for campaigns known to have delivered.
  • Campaign names map to the expected project and currency.
  • Paid Microsoft visits are not split across unintended traffic channels.
  • Any account-level discrepancy is checked against date, time zone and status filters.
