Bing Webmaster Tools, the poor cousin to Google’s Search Console, is one of the best-kept secrets of free SEO tools. As someone who used to track SEO results across hundreds of search engines over 20 years ago, its understandable why so few companies or SEO’s care about Bing.
Bing Webmasters or Bing Search Console?
Bing still calls it “Bing Webmaster Tools” but both BWT and GSC (Google Search Console) will likely need wholesale changes to get AI search ready. But all that aside – if you’re looking for premium SEO tools for Free – then Bing Webmaster tools is a great place to start. It can scan up to 10,000 pages per site and provide a detailed report of the issues found.
