Bing Ads management for DUI law offices

Some firms run every search ad on Google and never open a second account. Bing Ads (Microsoft Advertising) is the second account. It reaches a smaller audience, often one that searches from a desktop, and for a DUI office it can add a few extra doorways to the front desk without asking the firm to rebuild what it has already written.

For DUI and DWI law offices, Bing is one of the platforms inside our paid ads management, set up under the firm's own name. Every ad lands on the attorney's desk and waits there until a yes comes back.

Where a second search account fits a DUI office's switchboard

Picture a second trunk line into the same exchange. It carries less traffic than the main one, and it enters the building through a different door, yet whoever arrives by it still ends up at the same reception desk. Bing Ads works that way for a law office that already runs search ads elsewhere.

We do not promise how much traffic that line carries, and we say nothing about the share of searches Bing handles, since any number would be a guess. What can be said is that the audience is smaller, that it leans toward desktop screens, and that competition for the same wordings is often lighter than on the larger platform. A firm decides for itself whether a smaller line is worth running alongside the bigger one. The decision turns on the firm's own budget, the cities it covers and how much attention its office manager wants to give a second set of reports.

Three things the desk does when a DUI firm adds Bing

  • Import

    The firm's Google ad groups, carried over

    An existing set of ad groups for practice areas and places is brought across, so the firm does not start from a blank page.

  • Trim

    Wordings and negative lists, cut to suit the DUI office

    Not every phrase travels well. We prune the wordings, copy the negative keyword list and add any entries Bing's reports call for.

  • Approve

    Every ad read by the attorney before the line goes live

    The attorney goes through headlines, body text and landing pages, and a written yes sits on file before the first ad appears.

Three choices the firm makes about its Bing account

Choice for a DUI firm's accountHow the desk handles itWhose decision it is
Which ad groups cross overWe list the Google ad groups and flag the ones that make sense for a smaller platformThe firm and its attorney
Which cities and counties stay on the mapLocation settings are copied and then narrowed to the places the firm namesThe firm
Which pages the ads openPages already in use for Google ad groups, or fresh pages written for the new wordingsThe attorney, who reads each page

Billing for a second search line, laid out plainly

On a Bing Ads account, Microsoft takes each click from the firm's own card as it happens, and the money never passes us. Our fee for tending the account is its own monthly line, a part of the ad plans: the figures are $895 for a lone platform, then $1,595 and $2,295 as platforms are added. If a firm already pays for Google Ads management, adding Bing makes it a two-platform plan.

Opening the account adds no startup fee to any invoice, and the firm owes us no term. Nothing printed here is a forecast of calls. For the full fee sheet, see the pricing page.

Four things to settle before a DUI office opens a Bing account

  • A Google ad account worth importing, with ad groups the attorney has already approved
  • A card for the new account, registered to the firm
  • A decision about which cities and counties the second account will cover
  • A reading of Microsoft's advertising policies by the attorney, since each platform has its own

Bing Ads questions from DUI firm owners

Does a DUI firm need Bing Ads if its Google account is running?

No. Bing Ads is an optional second account. A firm with a single address and a small budget may find Google Ads sufficient by itself, and the Google Ads page describes that platform on its own terms.

Can the same ad groups be used on both platforms for a DUI office?

Largely yes. The import copies the structure, and we trim the wordings. The attorney reads the Bing version separately, because platform policies differ, and the landing page behind each ad group is checked again for the new platform. The blocklist of unwanted searches is copied in too, so what is shut out of one account is shut out of the other.

Which card pays Microsoft for a DUI firm's clicks?

The firm's. The card sits on the firm's own account, and our monthly fee is limited to the work of tending it.

Will Bing Ads management change the DUI firm's landing pages?

Only if the firm wants it to. The same pages can serve both platforms, and the separate write-up of Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) describes a third option for firms that also want feed ads.

Ask about a second search account for your DUI office

Tell us whether the firm already runs Google Ads and which cities it wants a second account to cover.

Which practice areas get wired first?

List the practice areas you want asked about, the cities and counties you serve and the groups that already send people to your office. Leave out every name and every detail of any matter: nothing sent here is confidential, and no attorney-client relationship begins with a message.

Tell us about the office and its practice areas

Name the practice areas you want more calls about, the cities you serve and who refers people to you. Keep every detail of any matter out of the note: this form creates no attorney-client relationship, and a person reads each message.
