Likelihood to Recommend 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).

Read full review Pros 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. Read full review Great visuals for keyword position tracking, love that you can see the page that is ranking Enjoyed the auto-generated reporting feature (specifically in the context of keyword position tracking) Shows many different and useful views for competitive research Great templated keyword research tools for those who are not as hands-on with SEO I LOVE the Keyword Magic Tool for honing in on longtail, high-opportunity keywords Read full review Cons 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. Read full review Extra seats can be expensive, as [an] agency with multiple team members this can be frustrating Backlink data is not great, misses out a lot of backlinks (better off using a specialist backlink tool like Link research tools LRT) Tracking multiple keywords, across multiple clients can be costly Read full review Likelihood to Renew I [previously] used Semrush for many years and I cannot find any other tool being so complete and easy to use.

Read full review Alternatives Considered 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!
