Bing Webmaster Tools

Bing Webmaster Tools Integration for WordPress

See your Bing Webmaster Tools data inside WordPress, right next to Google and Yandex. CrawlWP also sends your new and updated posts to Bing the moment you publish, through the Bing API and IndexNow. Most WordPress SEO plugins ignore Bing completely.

Why Bing

Why use a Bing Webmaster Tools WordPress plugin?

Bing Webmaster Tools is free and useful, but few people check it. Most WordPress SEO plugins only show Google, so Bing traffic goes unnoticed.

Find visitors you are missing

See how many people find you through Bing, and which posts they click.

Reach more than Bing

Bing’s results also power Yahoo and Microsoft Copilot, so a page Bing knows about can show up there too.

Get indexed faster

Bing learns about new posts the moment you publish, instead of waiting for its crawler to visit.

WordPress SEO reporting for Google, Bing and Yandex

Bing search data

Clicks, impressions, click-through rate, and average position from Bing Webmaster Tools.

Side by side with Google

Bing, Google Search Console and Yandex on one screen — not three separate websites.

Send pages to Bing

New and updated posts are sent straight to Bing through its API, the moment you publish.

IndexNow

The same update also reaches Naver, Seznam.cz, Yandex, and Yep, at no extra cost.

Bing index status

See if each page is in Bing’s index, right in your posts list.

Easy site verification

Paste Bing’s verification code once. CrawlWP adds the right tag to your site.

The data

What Bing data you get

The same numbers Bing Webmaster Tools shows, in plain words.

What you seeWhat it tells you
ClicksHow many times people clicked your page in Bing’s results.
ImpressionsHow many times your page appeared in Bing’s results.
Click-through rate (CTR)How often people clicked when they saw your page.
Average positionWhere your page usually appears in Bing. Lower is better.
Top keywordsThe Bing searches that bring people to your site.
Top pagesThe pages that earn the most clicks from Bing.
Index statusWhether each page is in Bing’s index.

How it works

Set it up once, then it runs on its own

Step 1

Verify WordPress site with Bing

Copy the verification code from Bing Webmaster Tools and paste it into CrawlWP’s Site Verification screen.

Step 2

Connect the Bing API

Add your Bing API key once. From your next post on, Bing automatically sends every new and updated page, and IndexNow reaches other search engines that support it.

Step 3

Read your Bing numbers

See Bing’s SEO performance numbers next to Google and Yandex for every post, with each page’s Bing index status in your posts list.

Verification

Bing checks that you own your site with a small tag called msvalidate.01. CrawlWP adds it for you, next to the codes for Google, Yandex, Baidu, and Pinterest. It stays in place when you change or update your theme.

Questions

Bing Webmaster Tools questions

Why should I care about Bing?

Bing brings in more visitors than many people expect, especially from desktop computers and in some countries. Its results also power other search tools, including Yahoo and Microsoft Copilot. Since both the data and the page sending are free to use, there is little reason to leave Bing out.

Is sending pages to Bing safe?

Yes. Microsoft supports and recommends sending pages through the Bing API and IndexNow. It is exactly what they are built for.

Do I need both the Bing API and IndexNow?

They do the same job for Bing, but IndexNow also reaches Naver, Seznam.cz, Yandex and Yep. Using both means your pages reach every search engine that supports them.

What is Bing Webmaster Tools?

A free tool from Microsoft that shows how your site appears in Bing: how often it is seen, how often it is clicked, and the searches that find it. CrawlWP brings that data into WordPress.

Is the Bing integration free?

Sending your pages to Bing is free in CrawlWP Lite. Seeing your Bing search numbers and index status is part of CrawlWP Premium, which starts at $59 a year with a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Do I need a Bing Webmaster Tools account?

Yes, and it is free. Sign in with a Microsoft account and add your site. If your site is already in Google Search Console, Bing can import it, which saves you the verification step.

How do I get a Bing API key?

In Bing Webmaster Tools, open Settings, then API Access, and create an API key. Paste it into CrawlWP under API Settings. Our documentation walks you through each step.

Does Bing support IndexNow?

Yes. Microsoft created IndexNow with Yandex, and Bing uses it to find new pages quickly. CrawlWP sends every change through IndexNow automatically.
