Account-Linking
Account-Linking
As a foundational step, the Microsoft Advertising account must be correctly linked and authorized, whether it's managed through Search Ads 360 (SA360) or independently. If SA360 is used, the authorization flow typically begins within SA360, where a user with the necessary access rights establishes the connection to Microsoft Advertising. This way the campaign configurations, tracking data, and platform integrations are properly synchronized across systems. Even in cases where SA360 is not used, it’s essential to review access levels and establish formal ownership and administrative control over the Microsoft account to support downstream processes such as data sharing and conversion tracking.
Tracking
Tracking
To ensure accurate measurement, a reliable conversion tracking infrastructure must be in place. This usually involves the parallel implementation of both Microsoft’s Universal Event Tracking (UET) tag and Google’s Floodlight system, especially if part of the setup depends on shared tracking data. While UET is required to enable conversion and audience tracking within Microsoft Advertising, Floodlight tags allow for alignment with SA360, to make centralized reporting and consistent attribution logic across platforms possible. Attribution models, conversion windows, and counting methods should be clearly defined and aligned with the client's measurement framework for data integrity.
Automation
Automation
Automation plays a significant role in unlocking campaign efficiency and scalability. Depending on the setup, bidding strategies can be managed directly within Microsoft Advertising or configured through SA360’s automated bidding logic. In both cases, it's important to ensure that conversion data flows correctly between systems to inform optimizations. When SA360 is used, conversions tracked via Floodlight tags can be shared with Microsoft Advertising and imported as offline conversions, supporting more advanced bidding strategies such as Target CPA or Target ROAS without relying solely on Microsoft-native tracking.
Feature Enablement & Integration
Feature Enablement & Integration
A robust Microsoft Advertising setup also includes enablement of key features and seamless integration into the broader marketing technology stack. Depending on campaign goals, this could involve setting up remarketing lists, managing audience segments, or activating product-level features for Shopping campaigns. Integration points – such as sharing Floodlight attribution data, aligning with DMP audiences, or supporting tag management systems like Google Tag Manager (GTM) – should be evaluated and implemented to maintain consistency across platforms. It's also important to assess which Microsoft-specific features are available and fully compatible when working within or outside of SA360, as not all configurations are supported natively in both environments.
