Video Description:

First, we start by quickly showing you the Google AdWords campaign that we will be importing. It is a basic campaign with several ad groups, keywords, and ads. We want everything from this campaign to import into Bing Ads so they mirror each other on both search networks. Since Bing Ads is set-up so similar to Google AdWords, they have made the entire process very easy. You can import campaigns directly from the Bing Ads UI.

After we show you the campaign, we go to Bing Ads and start importing it. You start by signing directly into AdWords through your Bing Ads user interface. They will allow you to select the Account you want to import from. Then, you can choose to import the entire account or just selected campaigns and ad groups. Keep in mind that you can only import search campaigns because Bing Ads does not have access to running ads on the Google Display Network or Google Video Network, so you can't transfer those campaigns into Bing Ads. However, for search network campaigns, you can import it no matter what.
