How to Add a URL to Bing

Last Updated: March 28, 2019

Bing.com, Microsoft's search engine, offers website owners and developers a way to add URLs so their sites show up when people use Bing to search the Internet. Bing has a program called BingBot that automatically searches the Internet and finds most pages--eventually. It may take months for BingBot to list a site. You can manually add your website to ensure it is listed on Bing as soon as your site goes online.

Steps

1
Navigate to the page where you will submit your website address for inclusion on Bing. A link to the page can be found in the sources section of this article.
- You can also find the Bing.com URL submission page by doing a search on Bing.com for "add a URL to Bing" or a similar term. The Bing URL submission site will be among the first few sites listed.
2
Type the characters displayed below "Type the characters from the picture" into the box provided. This verifying step assures Bing you are a person submitting a website to the search engine and not a "bot" or a program that automatically submits sites.
- Click refresh on your web browser to bring up a new set of characters if it's too difficult to read the characters.

Click "Submit URL." If you typed the characters into the verify box correctly, a page will open with two options to click: "Return to Bing" or "Submit Another URL."
- Your website should now be listed on Bing. Type the address into the Bing search engine at Bing.com to see if your URL is included.
