Add Website Sitemaps To Bing Search Engines

To add a sitemap to Bing search engines, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Bing Webmaster Tools website (https://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster).
2. Sign in with your Microsoft account or create one if you don't already have one.
3. Add your website by entering the URL and following the prompts.
4. Once your website is added, click on the "Sitemaps" link in the left-hand menu.
5. Click on the "Submit a Sitemap" button.
6. Enter the URL of your sitemap and click "Submit."

Example:

Let's say you have a website for your small business called "MyBusiness.com" and you have created a sitemap using XML-Sitemaps. To submit this sitemap to Bing, you would follow the steps outlined above.

First, sign in to your Bing Webmaster Tools account and click on the "Configure My Site" tab. Then, click on the "Sitemaps" option and enter the URL of your sitemap (e.g.

• Here are some examples of sitemap URLs:

  • https://www.example.com/sitemap.xml
  • https://www.example.com/sitemap_index.xml
  • https://www.example.com/post-sitemap.xml

Next, you would verify your website with Bing by adding a DNS record or uploading an HTML file to your website. Once this is done, your sitemap will be submitted to Bing and will be used to help them index your website.

It may take some time for Bing to process and index the pages in your sitemap. You can check the status of your sitemap by clicking on the "Sitemaps" link in the left-hand menu and looking for the status under the "Status" column.

Keep in mind that sitemaps are just one way to help search engines discover and index your website's pages. There are other factors that can affect your website's visibility in search results, such as the quality and relevance of your content, the structure of your website, and the number and quality of external websites that link to your site.
