The Bing Ads Marketplace Trends Interactive website was developed based on customer feedback from "listening tours," during which three particular things kept coming up over and over again. Sub-sections of the new site include device targeting trends, which focuses on CTR, CPC and volume by device type; ad scheduling trends about volume by different days and times in addition to device type; and location targeting shows CPC and CTR by state. All three are filterable by industry and sub-industry.
"I think it all means different things to different people, depending on what type of business you're in," says John Cosley, director of Bing Ads Product Marketing. "For a big CPG advertiser, someone who makes washing machines and isn't doing the selling but is doing the manufacturing, the development info may be more interesting. If you're a local retailer, location targeting trends may be of value to you."
Cosley says that another aspect of the latter is helping advertisers allocate their budgets by showing which keywords are resonating where. Sample maps on Bing's website show that in the retail sector, a hypothetical advertiser could have a 3.02 percent CTR in Tennessee - the highest in the country - where the CPC is 59 cents, whereas New Mexico shows 61 cent clicks for a lower CTR of 1.89 percent.
