✅ How to Submit Your Blog to Bing Webmaster Tools (2025 Guide)
Whether your blog is on Blogger, WordPress, or custom hosting, getting it listed on Bing helps you reach more traffic beyond Google.
🔧 Step-by-Step Guide
Use any of these:
Microsoft Account (Outlook, Hotmail, etc.)
Google Account (same as your Blogger login)
Facebook Account
✅ Tip: Use the same Google account you used for your blog for easier integration.
Once logged in:
Click "Add a Site" (or “Add your site manually”).
Enter your full blog URL, for example: https://yourblogname.blogspot.com/
Click "Add"
You’ll now be asked to verify that you own the blog. You’ll get three options:
🅰️ Option 1: XML File Upload
(Not available for Blogger)
🅱️ Option 2: Meta Tag (✔️ Best for Blogger)
Copy the Meta tag code Bing gives you.
Go to your Blogger dashboard → Theme → Edit HTML
Paste the meta tag just below <head> <meta name="msvalidate.01" content="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" />
Save the theme changes.
Return to Bing and click “Verify”.
✔️ You should now see a success message confirming your blog is verified.
Now that your blog is verified, submit a sitemap to help Bing discover your pages.
Go to “Sitemaps” in the left menu.
Click "Submit Sitemap"
For Blogger blogs, use this sitemap format: https://yourblogname.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml
or: https://yourblogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=updated
Click "Submit"
Bing will start crawling your blog in a few hours to a few days.
You can monitor:
Indexed pages
Search keywords
Crawl errors
Backlinks
Post regularly with original, useful content
Add internal links between posts
Share posts on social media to generate traffic
Avoid duplicate content or copied articles
Keep your blog layout mobile-friendly
📌 Bonus: Submit to Bing via IndexNow (Optional for advanced users)
If you're using WordPress or custom domains, Bing also supports IndexNow, which automatically informs Bing of new or updated content. Blogger does not support this natively yet.
