In this article we will explain how to create a Microsoft Ads account, which is needed to run ads on Bing, and grant The Orange Studio access to that account.


1. Sign Up for Microsoft Ads

First off, you need to login to Microsoft Ads. Follow these steps:

  1. Go to https://ads.microsoft.com/ and click Sign Up Now. Enter your email and password. If you are logged in with a Microsoft account, it will automatically use this email address.
  2. Click Email xxx as shown in the screenshot below. Then enter the code that was sent to that email address and click Next.


3. If you want to use your smartphone to login in the future, click Get it now, otherwise skip this step by clicking No thanks


4. Fill in the required information and click Create Account. 


5. In the Import/Create Campaign step, select Skip campaign creation. 


6. In the Go Live step, fill in the required business information. You can skip the VAT registration. Click Save.

7. Add the billing information for the account. Ensure that under Billing options you select Postpay and Credit or debit card. Then add the details of your card. Click Save.


8. Your account has been created. You will now be taken to the homepage of your Microsoft Advertising Account.


2. Find your Account ID

To give The Orange Studio acces to your Bing Ads account, we will need your Account ID. Follow these steps to find it.

  1. If you are not logged in yet, login again on https://ads.microsoft.com/
  2. From the homepage of Microsoft Ads, navigate to your account overview as shown in the screenshot below. Under All accounts, copy the first ID next to your account name. This should be a 10 digit code with a mix of numbers and letters.


3. Accept Link Request

The last step is to accept our link request. You will find this request in an email sent to the mail address you used to set up your Microsoft Ads account and it will look similar to the below screenshot. Make sure the request is coming from The Orange Studio and click approve or reject this link. Did you not receive an email? Then follow the below steps.


If you did not receive an email:

  1. Login to your Microsoft Ads account and navigate to Tools > Accounts 
  2. Click Accounts summary in the left hand menu, then click Requests
  3. Here you should find a request from The Orange Studio. Under Status, click Action Required. 
  4. In the box that opens, click Accept.


 

You have now successfully accepted our request and finished the setup of your Microsoft Ads account, well done!
