13% reduction in support calls 

Existing within the Microsoft empire, Bing Ads is a PPC service that offers advertising on Bing and Yahoo! search engines.

A new experience for Adtech users

Microsoft Bing Ads implemented WalkMe to drive user onboarding, task completion, and new feature adoption. WalkMe supports these goals by offering interactive guidance in multiple languages directly on the Bing Ads platform. Bing Ads uses WalkMe’s Walk-Thrus in two ways:

1. As an overview for new features or area of the product that might be challenging for customers to navigate
2. As a solution to a frequently encountered problem in the user journey

What Microsoft Bing Ads has to say:

“As a tech company, it’s very tempting for us to say, “We can build it ourselves,” but this would have required us diverting our time away from building Bing Ads features… [with WalkMe] We are now able to quickly make changes in guided tours without having to build new tools or work around development cycles.” –Haily De La Cruz, Program Manager, Microsoft. “The platform is easy to learn and intuitive. We are able to get valuable customer usage insights quickly. We love the ability for our writing team to iterate quickly on these tours without having to affect our software engineering teams.” -Lisa Osse, Microsoft.
