+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| Category | Weight | Check Count |
+|----------|--------|-------------|
+| Technical Setup | 25% | MS01-MS03 (3 checks) |
+| Syndication & Bidding | 20% | MS04-MS07 (4 checks) |
+| Structure & Audience | 20% | MS08-MS10 (3 checks) |
+| Creative & Extensions | 20% | MS11-MS13 + MS19-MS20 (5 checks) |
+| Settings & Performance | 15% | MS14-MS18 (5 checks) |
+| Import Safety, Compliance & Video (v1.5) | N/A | MS-SI1, MS-CM1, MS-CT1, MS-VD1 (4 checks) |
+
+---
+
+## Technical Setup (25% weight)
+
+| ID | Check | Severity | Pass | Warning | Fail |
+|----|-------|----------|------|---------|------|
+| MS01 | UET tag installed | Critical | Universal Event Tracking tag firing on all pages | Firing on most pages (>90%) | UET tag not installed or broken |
+| MS02 | Enhanced conversions | High | Enhanced conversions enabled for improved matching | N/A | Not enabled |
+| MS03 | Google Ads import validation | High | If imported: all settings verified (URLs, extensions, bids). Scheduled auto-imports deactivated after initial setup | Minor discrepancies found | Import errors not resolved (broken URLs, missing goals). Scheduled imports still active without monitoring |
+
+### Import Validation Critical Note
+Google Ads imports are the most common Microsoft Ads setup method. Common import issues:
+- Conversion goals often break during import
+- Tracking templates may not transfer
+- Extensions may be partially imported
+- Bid adjustments may not match
+- **Scheduled auto-imports can re-enable paused campaigns** (a common billing surprise)
+- ALWAYS validate conversion tracking after import
+- **Deactivate auto-imports immediately after initial setup** to prevent silent campaign re-enablement and overwritten manual bid/budget changes
+
+---
+
+## Syndication & Bidding (20% weight)
+
+| ID | Check | Severity | Pass | Warning | Fail |
+|----|-------|----------|------|---------|------|
+| MS04 | Brand syndication control | Critical | Brand campaigns excluded from syndicated partners OR low-performers excluded | Partners enabled, monitored regularly | Brand campaigns on syndicated partners, never reviewed (massive budget waste risk) |
+| MS05 | Audience Network settings | High | Audience Network enabled only if testing intentionally. Run Website URL publisher reports weekly and maintain account-level exclusion lists | Audience Network enabled with regular publisher report monitoring | Audience Network ON by default without review. B2B clients see CPA 2-4x higher from Audience Network than search alone (Seer Interactive). Microsoft auto-includes it by default |
+| MS06 | Bid strategy alignment | High | Strategy matches goal + conversion volume; targets 20-35% lower than Google | Strategy matches but targets not adjusted for Bing | Mismatched strategy for conversion volume |
+| MS07 | Target New Customers (PMax) | Medium | "Target New Customers" enabled for growth campaigns (Beta 2026) | N/A | Not tested for eligible PMax campaigns |
+
+---
+
+## Structure & Audience (20% weight)
+
+| ID | Check | Severity | Pass | Warning | Fail |
+|----|-------|----------|------|---------|------|
+| MS08 | Campaign structure | High | Mirrors Google structure (if imported) or follows best practices | Minor structural issues | Disorganized structure, no naming convention |
+| MS09 | Budget allocation | Medium | Budget proportional to Bing search volume (typically 20-30% of Google) | Slightly over/under-allocated | Budget >50% of Google budget (over-investment) |
+| MS10 | LinkedIn profile targeting | High | LinkedIn targeting utilized for B2B: up to 16% greater CTR and 64% greater conversion rate vs non-audience-targeted ads. Available across Search, DSA, Shopping, PMax, and Multimedia ads. Dimensions: Company (80,000+), Industry (148), Job Function (26). Use Observation (Bid Only) mode first. CPCs 30-70% cheaper than LinkedIn Ads directly | Partial LinkedIn targeting | No LinkedIn targeting for B2B campaigns (unique advantage missed) |
+
+---
+
+## Creative & Extensions (20% weight)
+
+| ID | Check | Severity | Pass | Warning | Fail |
+|----|-------|----------|------|---------|------|
+| MS11 | RSA asset count | High | ≥8 headlines, ≥3 descriptions per RSA | 3-7 headlines, 2 descriptions | <3 headlines (minimum) |
+| MS12 | Multimedia Ads | Medium | Multimedia Ads tested (unique rich visual format) | N/A | Not tested |
+| MS13 | Ad copy uniqueness | Medium | Ad copy optimized for Bing demographics (older, affluent, educated) | Same copy as Google, untested | N/A |
+| MS19 | Action Extension | Medium | Action Extension utilized (unique to Microsoft) | N/A | Not tested |
+| MS20 | Filter Link Extension | Medium | Filter Link Extension tested for product/service categories | N/A | Not tested |
+
+### Microsoft-Unique Formats
+These extensions are ONLY available on Microsoft Ads:
+- **Action Extension**: Predefined action buttons (clickable CTAs)
+- **Filter Link Extension**: Category-based deep links (product filters)
+- **Multimedia Ads**: Rich visual search ads (image + headline + description)
+- **Review Extension**: Third-party review quotes in ads
+
+---
+
+## Settings & Performance (15% weight)
+
+| ID | Check | Severity | Pass | Warning | Fail |
+|----|-------|----------|------|---------|------|
+| MS14 | Copilot placement | Medium | Copilot chat placement enabled for PMax campaigns. CTV ads now serve on Netflix, Max, Hulu, Roku, discovery+. Auto-generated RSA assets enabled by default globally Jan 2026 (5% CTR increase). Image Animation via Copilot pilot (Nov 2025): static images converted to video assets | N/A | Not enabled (73% higher CTR opportunity) |
+| MS15 | Conversion goals | High | Goals configured natively (not relying on Google-imported goals) | Imported goals verified and working | Imported goals not verified |
+| MS16 | CPC vs Google comparison | Medium | Microsoft CPC 20-40% lower than Google for same keywords | CPC within 0-20% of Google | CPC equal to or higher than Google |
+| MS17 | Conversion rate comparison | Medium | Microsoft CVR comparable to Google | CVR 25-50% lower | CVR >50% lower than Google |
+| MS18 | Impression share | Medium | IS tracked for brand and top non-brand terms | Partially tracked | Not tracked |

+
+---
+
+## Copilot Integration (2026)
+
+Microsoft's Copilot represents the biggest unique advantage:
+
+1. **Copilot Chat Placement**: Ads appear within conversational search
+2. **Copilot Checkout** (Jan 2026); Full commerce within conversations
+3. **Higher engagement**: 73% CTR lift, 16% CVR lift, 33% shorter journeys
+4. **Shopping intent**: Users 194% more likely to purchase
+5. **Launch partners**: Urban Outfitters, Etsy, Ashley Furniture
+
+Ensure PMax campaigns have Copilot placement enabled to capture this growing channel.
+
+---
+
+## Import Safety, Compliance & Video (v1.5)
+
+| ID | Check | Severity | Pass | Warning | Fail |
+|----|-------|----------|------|---------|------|
+| MS-SI1 | Scheduled import status | Critical | Scheduled Google Ads imports disabled or closely monitored. Auto-imports can silently re-enable paused campaigns and overwrite manual bid/budget changes | Imports active with manual review schedule | Scheduled imports running unmonitored (risk of re-enabling paused campaigns and unexpected spend) |
+| MS-CM1 | Consent Mode compliance (EEA/UK) | High | Consent Mode implemented by May 5, 2025 deadline for EEA/UK/Switzerland audiences. Required for behavioral modeling and conversion recovery | Implementation in progress | Not implemented for EEA/UK/CH audiences (non-compliant since May 2025) |
+| MS-CT1 | CTV ad inventory coverage | Medium | CTV placements evaluated for brand/awareness campaigns. Microsoft CTV now serves on Netflix, Max, Hulu, Roku, discovery+. 30-second non-skippable format available | N/A | CTV not evaluated despite brand awareness objectives |
+| MS-VD1 | Video ad inventory utilization | Medium | Video formats tested: 9:16 vertical video (available since Apr 2025), up to 90-second duration. Copilot Image Animation (Nov 2025 pilot) evaluated for static-to-video conversion | N/A | No video assets despite available inventory and video-capable campaigns |
+
+---
+
+## Context Notes
+
+- **PMax on Microsoft**: Up to 300 campaigns per account (vs 100 on Google). LinkedIn profile data integration. No video placements. Self-serve negative keywords in open beta (Feb 2026)
+- **Scheduled imports danger**: Can re-enable paused campaigns silently. Deactivate after initial setup
+- **CTV inventory (2025-2026)**: Netflix, Max, Hulu, Roku, discovery+. 30-second non-skippable on CTV
+- **Auto-generated RSA (Jan 2026)**: Enabled by default globally. 5% CTR increase
+- **Smart Shopping to PMax (Aug 2025)**: All Smart Shopping auto-upgraded
+- **Copilot ads**: Show beneath AI responses with "Sponsored" labels in Copilot conversations
+- **9:16 vertical video (Apr 2025)**: 90-second duration support added

+# Microsoft Creative Specs: Generation Guide
+
+<!-- Updated: 2026-03-12 -->
+<!-- Source: platform-specs.md + Microsoft Advertising requirements -->
+<!-- Used by: ads-generate, visual-designer agent -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Generation-ready specifications for Microsoft (Bing) Ads creative. Microsoft creative
+is largely a subset of Google creative; most Google assets can be reused directly.
+The unique format is the Multimedia Ad.
+
+---
+
+## Multimedia Ads (Microsoft-Unique)
+
+The primary image-based format unique to Microsoft Ads.
+
+| Component | Spec |
+|-----------|------|
+| Image | 1200×628 (1.91:1) |
+| Short Headline | 30 chars |
+| Long Headline | 90 chars |
+| Description | 90 chars |
+| Business Name | 25 chars |
+
+**Generation target: 1200×628 (1.91:1)**
+This is the only unique image dimension for Microsoft. Everything else mirrors Google.
+
+---
+
+## Responsive Search Ads (RSA)
+
+Identical to Google RSA character limits:
+
+| Component | Min | Max | Character Limit |
+|-----------|-----|-----|-----------------|
+| Headlines | 3 | 15 | 30 chars each |
+| Descriptions | 2 | 4 | 90 chars each |
+| Display Paths | N/A | 2 | 15 chars each |
+
+**Asset reuse:** RSA copy written for Google can be used directly in Microsoft
+with no changes. Use the same headlines and descriptions.
+
+---
+
+## Audience Ads (Display Network)
+
+| Size | Dimensions |
+|------|-----------|
+| Landscape | 1200×628 (1.91:1) |
+| Square | 1200×1200 (1:1) |
+| Small square | 628×628 (1:1) |
+
+These display on the Microsoft Audience Network (MSN, Outlook, Edge).
+**Asset reuse:** Generate the same 3 Google Display assets (1200×628, 1200×1200, and
+960×1200 scaled to 628×628). No unique generation needed.
+
+---
+
+## Microsoft-Unique Extensions
+
+These require copy but no image generation:
+
+| Extension | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| Action Extension | Pre-defined action buttons (Book Now, Download, etc.) |
+| Filter Link Extension | Category-based deep links (e.g., product categories) |
+| Review Extension | Third-party review quotes with source attribution |
+
+---
+
+## Copilot Ad Integration (2025-2026)
+
+Microsoft Ads now surface in Bing/Copilot AI responses. This affects:
+- **Ad copy relevance**: Copilot reads headline + description for context matching
+- **Sitelinks**: More likely to be shown in AI responses than on traditional SERPs
+- **Image assets**: Multimedia Ad images may appear in Copilot responses
+
+**Generation implication:** Use clear, descriptive product language in image alt context.
+Generate images that visually communicate the product/service without requiring copy.
+
+---
+
+## Google Import Strategy
+
+Most advertisers import Google campaigns to Microsoft. After import:
+- Bid adjustment: Microsoft CPCs are typically 20-35% lower than Google
+- Image assets: All Google PMax images (1200×628, 1200×1200, 960×1200) import directly
+- No additional image generation needed for Microsoft-only
+
+**When to generate Microsoft-specific assets:**
+- Multimedia Ads (1200×628) if not using Google import
+- Custom copy for Copilot-optimized RSA headlines
+
+---
+
+## Image Generation Prompt Modifiers
+
+**For Multimedia Ads (1200×628):**
+- `"horizontal composition, 1.91:1 aspect ratio"`
+- `"clean professional background"`
+- `"Microsoft Bing search audience; professional, trustworthy aesthetic"`
+- `"product or service clearly visible"`
+
+**Tone guidance:** Microsoft's audience skews slightly older (35+) and more professional
+than Google Search. Apply a slightly more conservative, trust-signaling visual style.
+Avoid TikTok-style dramatic edits or Meta-style casual lifestyle photography.
+
+---
+
+## Asset Reuse Summary
+
+| Source | Reusable for Microsoft? |
+|--------|------------------------|
+| Google PMax 1200×628 | ✅ Direct reuse for Multimedia Ads |
+| Google PMax 1200×1200 | ✅ Direct reuse for Audience Ads |
+| Google RSA copy | ✅ Use as-is |
+| Meta 4:5 (1080×1350) | ❌ Wrong ratio |
+| TikTok 9:16 (1080×1920) | ❌ Wrong ratio |
+
+**When using Google import:** No new image generation needed for Microsoft.
+Generate Microsoft-specific assets only if running Microsoft-native campaigns.
