Overview
Submitting your sitemap to Bing Webmaster Tools helps Bing understand the structure of your website and discover new or updated content. Your PhotoBiz website automatically generates a sitemap as you make changes, so you do not need to create one manually.
In this guide, you will learn how to verify your website with Bing and submit your sitemap so Bing can crawl and index your pages more efficiently.
Log into or create your Bing Webmaster Tools account.
Open a new browser tab and go to Bing Webmaster Tools.
If you already have an account, log in. If not, follow the prompts to add your website.
Choose the option to add your site manually and enter your domain name.
Verify your website using a meta tag.
Select the HTML Meta Tag Verification option inside Bing Webmaster Tools.
Copy the meta tag provided by Bing.
Log into your PhotoBiz account and navigate to the tracking or SEO section where you can paste the meta tag.
Paste the meta tag exactly as provided and save your changes.
Return to Bing Webmaster Tools and complete the verification process.
You will see a confirmation message once your site is verified.
Submit Your Sitemap To Bing Webmaster Tools
