Although Bing is not used as much as Google, it still holds a significant portion of global search traffic. Considering Microsoft product users and ChatGPT search result exposure, registering with Bing is a necessity rather than a choice. In this guide, we'll walk through the steps of connecting a sitemap from a Framer-made site 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 an influential platform in the search market, making it essential to register your site with Bing Webmaster Tools.
Bing is the default search engine for Microsoft devices, consistently generating traffic from Edge browser and Windows OS users. It provides an opportunity to reach new audiences that might be hard to access with just Google.
Additionally, Bing is a major search provider for ChatGPT. Therefore, if your site is properly indexed on Bing, there is a higher likelihood of your content appearing in ChatGPT search results or being quoted.
Most importantly, Bing Webmaster Tools offers more than just registration; it provides a variety of free SEO features, including backlink analysis, keyword research, and site audits, which significantly aid in improving the search visibility and performance of sites created with Framer over the long term.
