Bing is not used as much as Google but still plays a significant role in global search traffic. Considering its exposure to Microsoft product users and ChatGPT search results, registering with Bing is a necessity. This guide will walk you through the steps of connecting a sitemap created with Framer to Bing Webmaster Tools.
Why Registering with Bing is Important
If you're using Framer, you've likely already registered your site with Google Search Console. However, Bing is also a platform you cannot ignore in the search market, so you should register your site with Bing Webmaster Tools.
Bing is the default search engine for Microsoft devices and consistently generates traffic among users of the Edge browser and Windows OS. This provides an opportunity to reach new audiences not easily accessible through Google alone.
Additionally, Bing is a major source of searches for ChatGPT. Therefore, if your site is properly indexed by Bing, the likelihood of being featured in ChatGPT search results or content exposure increases.
Moreover, Bing Webmaster Tools offer more than just registration; they provide various free SEO functions like backlink analysis, keyword research, and site audit, which greatly aid in the long-term enhancement of search exposure and performance for sites created with Framer.
Main Advantages of Bing Webmaster Tools
Capture New Traffic: Easily access users incoming from Microsoft products and services.
Lower Competition: Bing search results are less competitive than Google, increasing the chances of higher exposure.
Enhanced ChatGPT Search: Content indexed on Bing is likely to be used in ChatGPT answers or quoted materials.
Free SEO Analytics Tools: Provides a powerful dashboard for an overview of keywords, backlinks, and performance data.
How to Connect a Framer Site to Bing Webmaster Tools
The process of linking Bing to Framer is almost identical to registering with Google Search Console. If you've already registered a site with GSC, the Bing connection can be completed in minutes. Follow the steps below.
Step 1. Verify the Sitemap URL in Framer
Framer automatically generates a sitemap each time a site is published. This sitemap can be used universally with major search engines including Google and Bing.
Check if the domain is connected: It should be published under a user domain, not the preview address
.framer.website.Enter into the browser's address bar:
Verify the XML file and Copy the URL: Once the sitemap (in XML format) appears on the screen, copy the entire URL.
Step 2. Sign Up for Bing Webmaster Tools
First, go to Bing Webmaster Tools and begin the signup process.
Select the social login you prefer, be it Microsoft, Google, Facebook, etc., to sign up.
Step 3. Add Your Site to Bing Webmaster Tools
Bing requires site ownership verification before a sitemap can be submitted. There are two verification methods.
Method A. Import from Google Search Console (Recommended)
If your site is already registered in Google Search Console (GSC), you can easily register using Bing's import function.
Access
Bing Webmaster ToolsAfter logging in, click “
Import from Google Search Console”Allow Bing to access your GSC account
Sites and sitemaps authenticated in GSC are automatically copied to Bing
Check that the sitemap appears correctly in the Sitemaps section of the Bing dashboard
Method B. Manually Add Your Site
If you're not using GSC or prefer managing Bing separately, you can register your site directly.
Click “
Add your site manually” in Bing Webmaster ToolsEnter the full URL of your site and select
AddThe authentication methods suggested by Bing that can be used with Framer are as follows:
Insert an HTML meta tag: Copy the
<meta>tag provided by Bing and place it in Framer → Site Settings → Custom Code → Start of the<head>section and republish the site.Register DNS records: Add the CNAME or TXT records suggested by Bing in your domain provider’s management page.
Step 4. Submit Your Sitemap
Once ownership verification is complete, it's time to submit your sitemap to Bing.
Go to the
Sitemapstab in the Bing dashboardClick the Submit sitemap button
Enter and submit the following URL
When you hit the
Submitbutton, Bing will automatically read and process the sitemap.The sitemap only needs to be submitted once. Bing checks and updates the sitemap periodically.
Troubleshooting Guide
1. If an “With errors” or “Could not process” error occurs
Check the following points in sequence:
Ensure the
yourdomain.com/sitemap.xmladdress opens correctlyConfirm no global password is set on the site
Verify you’ve republished the site in Framer after modifications
2. If the number of indexed pages appears as 0
Indexing is not immediate. It usually takes from a few days to a week. If there is no change after a week, check the following:
Use the URL Inspection tool to check if key pages are accessible
Ensure “Show page in search engines” option is enabled in Framer → Page Settings
3. If your site doesn't appear in Bing search results
Verify that key pages are included in the internal link structure
Check that they are linked from the homepage or navigation menu
Bing assesses page importance through link structure, so essential pages must be connected to other pages.
