    Bing Webmaster Tools

    Chose Bing Webmaster Tools
    Its a free tool and provides core information, I use other tools that are paid for that provide more, but if you are a small business then I would recommend as it provides what is needed.

    Chose Bing Webmaster Tools
    Bing, which is free to use, is a good adjunct to our use of all these tools. If I had to stop using all but two, Bing and Google would be the ones that I would keep. Others have their place in our cycle based on what Google and Bing are reporting, but these are our early …

    Chose Bing Webmaster Tools
    Google Search Console used to be very similar to Bing Webmaster Tools (or vice versa) but Google Webmaster Tools recently changed their interface so now using it is a bit of a learning curve. They still both do the same things for their respective search engines and we plan on …

    Chose Bing Webmaster Tools
    Bing Webmaster Tools isn't as easy to use or intuitive as Google Search Console. Google's tool feels like it's cutting edge, while Bing's looks old and really has no leg up on Google. That being said, this isn't really a one-or-the-other type decision; you can, and should, use …

    Chose Bing Webmaster Tools
    I think that Bing does a good job of being a competitive product in a space that has very basic and insanely complex products. While Bing isn't pretty, it gets the job done and also gets you the right tools in a simple and straight forward backend UI. The ability to place Bing …

    I always make sure that we are actively using Bing and Google. There is a tradeoff in your time when you use more tools, but there's also benefit in multiple perspectives. And don't forget that Bing is a very viable search engine that receives 500 million search queries each month. You may find that your business benefits from a relatively small amount of attention paid to Bing because search ranking there is easier (not easy, easier).

    Pros
    Microsoft
    • 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.

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • 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.

    Usability
    Microsoft
    Very usable overall, quick to find information and conduct analysis for example of how a price of content is performing on Bing search. User interface is a bit clunky at times but easy enough once you get used to it.

    I think that Bing does a good job of being a competitive product in a space that has very basic and insanely complex products. While Bing isn't pretty, it gets the job done and also gets you the right tools in a simple and straight forward backend UI. The ability to place Bing ads, track SEO and see how your site is performing, all from one backend interface is awesome!

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • Not really an ROI product but the ability to do more tasks than google is something that can be used as added value for clients
    • Having another search engine to do reporting on helps increase hours and client spend
    • some issues flagged in bing but not seen in google can be fixed once shown in BWT
