Google Bing Master Tools

 Bing Webmaster is a free tool from Microsoft that allows website owners and managers to add their websites to the Bing index crawler to make sure their sites are available on Bing search.

Bing Webmaster Tools provides many features that can be accessed by webmasters after they verify the ownership of their websites using methods such as Meta verification, adding CNAME records to DNS entry, XML verification, and Domain Connect.

It contains the following tools and features to support webmasters to access data and manage their websites on Bing.

To sign in to the Webmaster tool, you can use your email ID, if you want to import your data directly from Google Search Console then you have to sign in with your Gmail ID. Once you choose to add and manually verify your website using the Webmaster tool, you can choose between domain property or URL prefix property. Once it is done you will be redirected to the website’s dashboard where you can monitor the search performance of the website.                                                                                                                                          Website verification

On XML method is preferable for domain properties as it can be directly downloaded and uploaded to the C panel of the website’s root directory. Whereas the HTML metatag method is most used for URL prefix properties as the HTML tag can be directly pasted to the HTML file of the website. Adding a C NAME record to the DNS method is again more convenient for Domain properties as this method involves submitting a DNS name record into the domain name provider’s record list and verification is done, and next and final step is the URL submission procedures.

Once your website is verified by the Webmaster Tools, you can submit your website’s URL for inspection and then request for indexing, URL submission feature allows you to add up to 100 URLs a day together, in case you need to submit more URLs from your websites. Apart from that you can also submit your website’s sitemap. Sitemap is an XML document that contains all the URLs belonging to a website, the last modified date and time, the change frequency of the website, and other priorities like homepage settings, etc. If there are more web pages on a website, submitting the sitemap is preferable and we can easily do these procedures using the Bing webmaster tool.
