Can I target specific company sizes using LinkedIn profile targeting in Bing Ads?

As of the latest information available, Bing Ads (Microsoft Ads) does not directly offer LinkedIn profile targeting for ads, including targeting specific company sizes. However, you can still leverage some targeting options and strategies to indirectly reach audiences based on company size or similar criteria:

### **1. **Use Microsoft Audience Network**

**1.1. **Audience Targeting:**
   - **Description:** Microsoft Audience Network, which includes Bing, allows you to target audiences based on various attributes like job functions, industries, and interests. While you can't specifically target company sizes directly, you can use job titles and industries that might correlate with certain company sizes.

**1.2. **Custom Audiences:**
   - **Description:** Create custom audiences based on your own data or CRM lists. If you have lists segmented by company size, you can use this data to target specific groups.

### **2. **Leverage Keyword and Contextual Targeting**

**2.1. **Industry-Specific Keywords:**
   - **Description:** Target keywords related to specific industries or company types that might be associated with certain company sizes. For instance, if you want to target smaller businesses, use keywords that smaller companies might search for.

**2.2. **Contextual Targeting:**
   - **Description:** Use contextual targeting to reach users who are likely to be decision-makers or influencers in companies of a certain size based on their search behavior and content consumption.

### **3. **Employ Demographic Targeting**

### **4. **Utilize LinkedIn Ads for Direct Company Size Targeting**
