The first two sets of instructions are there to get you up and running. The final two steps are non-compulsory, but are very much recommended.<\/p>\n<h2>Creating a Big Webmaster Tools Account<\/h2>\n<p>Bing Webmaster Tools has a \u2018sign-in or sign-up\u2019 page where you can start an account for free. A Microsoft, Google or Facebook account can be used to sign up or you can create a Microsoft account as part of your sign-up process to Webmaster tools. To do this, all you need to do is click on Microsoft as the convenient account and then select the \u2018create one\u2019 button during the next step.<\/p>\n<h2>Adding and Verifying Your Website<\/h2>\n<p>As soon as you have your Bing Webmaster Tools account set up, you can start to add sites to it. This is possible by adding your site\u2019s URL into the \u2018add a site\u2019 input box and selecting \u2018add.\u2019 Once this has been done, you will need to verify that you are the owner of that website. To do this, you will have to select one of the three options that will be provided in a list. Next, you will attain a verification code to your site or your CNAME record, then you have to click \u2018verify.\u2019 A green checkmark at the top and a verification message will show if verification has been successful. If not, a red cross will show. If this happens, it is advised to go back and recheck your information.<\/p>\n<h2>Creating and Uploading Sitemaps<\/h2>\n<p>A great way to inform Bing about URLs on your site is by using sitemaps. There are various tools available to help with creating sitemaps. A list will be available to help get you started and it will help you choose the product that is the best match to your needs. After the sitemap has been uploaded to the server, you can use the Bing Webmaster Tools account to inform them about. On the main Dashboard page, there will be a section that showcases sitemap-related information. Click \u2018submit a sitemap\u2019 below, enter your sitemap\u2019s URL into the input box and select submit.<\/p>\n<h2>Creating a Search Optimisation Plan<\/h2>\n<p>Starting up a search optimisation plan using your Bing Webmaster Tools account is pretty straightforward.\u00a0 There will be two areas inside Webmaster Tools which can help you. One is located under \u2018reports and data\u2019 and is named \u2018SEO Reports.\u2019 Another one can be seen under \u2018diagnostics and tools\u2019 and is named \u2018SEO analyser.\u2019 Every other week, SEO Reports automatically run on any domain that has been verified in your account. This means that fresh reports that contain suggestions on which items you should address for SEO will be visible around twice monthly. On the other hand, the SEO Analyser is an on-demand tool that scans a single page and will very quickly be able to generate a SEO report for you.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, using Bing\u2019s Webmaster Tools is a straight forward procedure when you know what you are doing. It is a free and reliable service that can easily make you successful in Bing searches.<\/p>\n<p><i><html><br \/>\n\t<head><br \/>\n\t\t<title><\/title><br \/>\n\t<\/head><br \/>\n\t<body><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pingler.com\/account\/register\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pingler.com\/affiliates\/banners\/Pingler-468x60-01A.gif\" style=\"width: 468px; height: 60px;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/body><br \/>\n<\/html><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following list of instructions is here to help get you started if you\u2019re new to Bing Webmaster Tools.
