Bing Ads newest feature, the Top Movers report, can provide advertisers with the possible causes of the biggest changes in their search campaigns based on both user account changes and competitor activities. Jing Li, Bing Ads Platform Program Manager, blogged about the announcement today.
Bing Ads Top Movers report enables advertisers to focus more on their search campaign optimization as opposed to analyzing the changes manually. This improved diagnostic tool enables users to determine campaigns and/or ad groups with the biggest changes, and the possible causes that resulted in such changes in just a few clicks.

Above all, compared to other search providers, Top Movers sees through competitor activities (such as bid raises and new ad introductions), which give advertisers a clearer view of how the changes in their search campaigns occurred.
Three types of changes are considered as possible causes:
- User account such as campaign add/deleted/pause/un-pause, bid increase/decrease, budget constraints and editorial status changes.
- Search traffic these are changes in eligible search volume
- Competitor data the bid price can become less competitive under certain circumstances
Top Movers lists a maximum of 10 campaigns with the largest performance change during two specified time frames, which can be modified by users. Through this list, advertisers can easily identify which campaigns have positively or negatively contributed to their accounts performance variation. Other descriptions include:
- Top increases total positive change from top movers
- Top decreases total negative change from top movers
- Other changes changes from campaigns that experienced less than significant changes
- Details table displays list of top movers that have the biggest impact on account performance
