(1-7 of 7)There are a couple of standout Bing options, including new integration with Microsoft's Clarity that allows you to see screen recordings of visits.
After closely looking at both, I think they're now well-matched. That means that Google should always be your first choice. You're optimizing for Google, not Bing, after all. But if your work processes support a second or third option, Bing would be a nice choice for second.
- Manual scans are returned fast--often within an hour.
- You can import all of your Google Search Console properties with a few clicks.
- Bing's interface is flatter than Google's and easy to use.
- Benchmarking similar sites is a nice touch.
- Context-based help visible on the page would be awesome.
- Keyword research is a fantastic tool that needs more context.
- The submission API that lets you "automate URL submission" and submit new content quickly is poorly explained and creates doubt among people who might wonder why they need to submit content.
- Clarity. Bing Webmaster Tools is well-designed and easy to navigate, even for beginners.
- Keyword rankings. Gives more visibility than Google Search Console into how your website ranks for specific keywords.
- In-program SEO editing. Allows you to submit URLs, disavow links, block URLs, control BingBot's crawl, and more.
- Better clarity on traffic data from Bing and Yahoo separately.
- Easier ownership verification.
A useful tool that could be improved upon
- Make it easy to submit new pages to be crawled
- SEO reports provide feedback on our webpages that aren't following best-practices
- Overall there are a lot of different second-level tools that you may not know exist until you begin using it
- The user-interface isn't as friendly or appealing as Google's - very bland overall.
- The way they present their Page Traffic report is a big turn-off. It's basically just a grid of numbers and arrows which is hard to interpret at a high level.
A must have for anyone with a website.
The reports are nice and give you actionable items to address in order to increase your search rankings.
Bing webmaster tools is pretty much a necessity for anyone who has a web page.
- Site crawls, once initiated, don't take very long to complete
- SEO analysis tells you which pages are not following best practices
- Page Traffic reports tell you which of your sites are appearing in search, their position in the rankings, and how it's been performing over time
- You can see the keywords people use to search for your site
- The interface could be a little bit better when compared to Google's solution

- The ability to jump between SEO, keyword and site maximization makes working in Bing Webmaster tools easy.
- The diagnostic tools that allow you to research issues or overcome challenges is really clean and easy to navigate.
- The UI is simple but very boring. It's very Microsoft and not very elegant.
