How to Set Up a Bing Business Account for Your Business

Listing your contractor business on Bing is a smart way to expand your local presence. Bing Places for Business helps your business show up on Bing search and maps, making it easier for potential customers to find you.

Follow these steps to set up your listing:

1. Visit Bing Places for Business

Go to bingplaces.com, where you create or claim your business listing.

2. Sign In or Create an Account

You can sign in using an existing Microsoft, Google, or Facebook account. If you don’t have one, click “Create an account” and follow the steps to make a new Microsoft account.

3. Start Your Business Listing

• Choose “Get started as a new user” if you’re new.
• If you have set up a Google Business Profile, you can save time by importing your business info directly from Google.
• Alternatively, you can manually add your business details.

4. Search for Your Business

Enter your business name, phone number, or location to see if Bing already has a listing for you. If your business appears:

• Click “Claim business” to take control of your listing.
• If your business is not listed, click “Create new business” to add it.

5. Add or Confirm Your Business Details

Fill in key information such as:

• Business name
• Phone number
• Business address or service area
• Website URL
• Business hours
• Category (choose what best fits your contractor business, like “Roofing,” “Painting,” or “Home Improvements”)

Make sure all details are accurate and complete for the best results.

6. Upload Photos

Add high-quality photos that showcase your work, team, vehicles, or business location. Images help build trust and make your listing more attractive.

7. Verify Your Business

To make your listing live, Bing requires verification:

• You can verify by receiving a phone call with a PIN.
• Some businesses may get a verification postcard in the mail.
• Email verification might also be available.

Follow the prompts to complete the verification process.

8. Keep Your Listing Updated

After setup, keep your profile current:

• Update business hours for holidays or special times.
• Add new photos regularly.
• Respond to reviews to show you’re engaged and care about customers.

Setting up your Bing Business account is straightforward. With a complete profile, you’ll improve your chances of connecting with local clients searching for contractor services.
