Access a world of opportunity scaling campaigns to 164 markets

Greater scale can unlock greater opportunities

The world may be better connected than ever before, but it doesn’t march to one rhythm or schedule. For example, just because seasonal demand for a product category dips in one region, it doesn’t mean it isn’t on the rise somewhere else. The rich variety of life makes our planet a more interesting place—and it also makes it a place of always-on opportunity for advertisers.

For marketers and advertisers like you, taking a global approach doesn’t just put you in touch with a wider audience, it also connects you to the many moments of opportunity that emerge in different times and places. No matter the size of your business or your vertical industry, scaling across languages and geographical regions is a smart strategy, and the simplest way to do it is to respond to signals of intent. You can do that with Microsoft Advertising, and now at an even greater scale!

34 additional markets launched in the latest phase of global expansion

Step 3: Use location targeting to reach consumers

Use location targeting to serve your advertising in up to 164 markets.

Step 4: Use language targeting to reach consumers

Use language targeting to reach consumers in up to 35 languages,² which  include:

Albanian, Arabic, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Maltese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Traditional Chinese, Turkish

Language targeting directs different language versions of your ads to consumers who are searching in that language, or whose Microsoft Bing domain matches your specified ad language. You can also target different language versions of your ad at specific locations and target multiple languages through different versions of the same ad. Bear in mind that ads in English will display to any searchers in the locations you target, so that the global reach of your campaign isn’t dependent on creating multiple different language versions.
