Before indexing your website with Bing, remove any website passwords as they prevent proper indexing. Wait 72 hours after connecting a third-party domain before verification. Note that trial websites cannot be verified as they're hidden from search engines.

Add Your Domain to Bing Webmaster Tools:

1. Sign in to Bing Webmaster Tools
2. Enter your domain in "Add a Website"
3. Click "Add"

Provide Website Information:

• Complete the "About Your Website" form
• Add your sitemap
• Enter website email (required)
• Configure Bing contact settings
• Save changes

Verification Options:

Tag Method (for Business/E-commerce subscriptions):

1. Copy the HTML code provided
2. Access your website's Code Injection
3. Paste code into Header field
4. Save changes
5. Return to Bing and click "Verify"

CNAME Method (for personal subscriptions):

1. Copy the CNAME entry
2. Access domain dashboard
3. Open DNS settings
4. Add new CNAME record

6. Enter verify.bing.com in Data column
7. Save changes
8. Return to Bing and click "Verify"

Once verified, you'll access the Bing Webmaster Tools dashboard, where you can manage your website's search presence and performance.

Note: Ensure your primary domain is selected if managing multiple domains.
