Submit A Sitemap … To Bing?

January 8, 2015

Indeed. For some reason, Bing still exists. And since it does you’ll need to submit your sitemap so your business will show up in the results of a person who searches from the unwanted automatically installed Bing bar on their browser. They’re so lovely, forcing it on you like that is such a treat. Anywho…. submitting your sitemap to Bing is easy.

Create your sitemap using the sitemap generator of your choice. We do like the CoffeeCup Sitemapper.
Find the sitemap.xml file it creates.
Upload it to the main directory of your website.
Create a Bing webmaster tools account and navigate to the sitemap widget

Click submit
