Meet Customers While They Work Through a Choice

Customers are increasingly using AI to explain what they need, clarify their priorities, compare alternatives, and narrow down their options. Microsoft Copilot advertising can help your business remain visible throughout this active decision process, from the first question to the moment a customer is ready to purchase, contact a provider, or take another meaningful action.

Microsoft Copilot

What Does Copilot Advertising Include?

“Copilot Ads” refers to sponsored content shown within Microsoft Copilot and related AI-powered search experiences.

It is not a single campaign type. Eligible ads may appear through Microsoft Advertising formats such as Search, Copilot Search, Responsive Search Ads, Multimedia Ads, Shopping, AI Max for Search, Performance Max, and Offer Highlights.

Microsoft also offers Copilot inside the Microsoft Advertising Platform to help advertisers create assets, review performance, troubleshoot campaigns, and uncover insights. Available formats may vary by account, market, campaign type, industry, and Microsoft’s current rollout.

How Brands Can Appear Across Copilot and Microsoft Advertising

Microsoft is developing advertising experiences that consider the context of a customer’s conversation, not only the latest search phrase. Sponsored content may appear when Microsoft determines that a product, service, or offer is relevant to the customer’s wider research journey.

Ads in Microsoft Copilot

Reach customers during conversational searches as they ask detailed questions, compare options, and explore products or services. Sponsored placements can help your business appear alongside relevant AI-generated guidance.

Copilot Search & Copilot Answers

Connect with users through AI-powered search experiences built for longer, more complex questions. These surfaces can help businesses participate while customers are gathering information and evaluating their choices.

AI Max for Search

Use expanded query matching, asset personalization, and smarter landing page routing to capture more nuanced customer intent. AI Max is designed to support relevant advertising across Bing, Copilot Search, and Copilot Answers, with controls and reporting that help advertisers guide performance.

Performance Max

Reach customers across eligible Microsoft Advertising inventory through one goal-based campaign. Microsoft AI uses your conversion goals, creative assets, audience signals, product information, and budget to identify opportunities across Search, Shopping, native, display, audience, and other Microsoft surfaces.

Shopping & Product Discovery

Help Microsoft understand and accurately present your products through complete Merchant Center data. Strong titles, descriptions, categories, pricing, inventory, images, and attributes can support product discovery across Bing, Copilot, Shopping, and other commerce experiences.

Offer Highlights

Bring important product differentiators into the context of a Copilot conversation. Depending on availability, Microsoft can highlight benefits such as free shipping, in-store pickup, availability, or another detail that matters during a purchase decision.

Microsoft Advertising Budget

Get a 1:1 Microsoft Ads Credit Match

Receive 1:1 matched ad credit vouchers when launching new Performance Max or Audience campaigns. The additional budget can support testing across Microsoft Advertising, including audiences, creative assets, conversion opportunities, and eligible Copilot placements. Offer eligibility and promotional terms apply.

Adapt to a Less Linear Buying Journey

Capture Natural-Language Intent

Customers can describe their needs using complete questions rather than a few keywords. Copilot and AI Max can help connect that detailed intent with relevant campaign content.

Earn Relevance Within the Conversation

Copilot can consider more of the customer’s conversation before presenting sponsored information. This gives advertisers an opportunity to provide a message that supports the customer’s current decision.

Connect AI Discovery With Search

A customer may begin with Copilot, continue comparing options through Bing, and later return through another Microsoft surface. Microsoft reports that journeys combining Copilot and traditional search grew 85% between 2023 and 2024.

Reduce the Distance Between Interest and Action

Conversational experiences can help customers research, compare, and narrow their choices within fewer interactions. A relevant advertisement can then connect that customer with the next practical step.

Give Microsoft AI Better Inputs

Campaign automation depends on meaningful conversion signals, accurate product feeds, suitable guardrails, and high-quality creative assets. Better inputs help Microsoft understand what your business offers and which outcomes matter most.
