What are Bing Webmaster Tools and Why Verify?

Bing Webmaster Tools (BWT) is a free service offered by Microsoft Bing to help website owners monitor their site’s performance in Bing Search results. Similar to Google Search Console, it provides data on indexing, search traffic, errors, and tools like sitemap submission and backlink analysis.

To access the full suite of features for your website in BWT, you must **verify** ownership. This proves to Bing that you are authorized to view data for that property.

Common verification methods include:

  • **HTML Meta Tag:** Adding a unique tag to the section of your homepage. This tool specifically checks for this method.
  • **XML File:** Uploading a unique BingSiteAuth.xml file to the root directory of your website. This tool *cannot* check for this method.
  • **DNS Record:** Adding a CNAME or TXT record to your domain’s DNS settings. This tool *cannot* check for this method.
  • **Connect via Google Search Console:** If your site is already verified in GSC under the same Microsoft account you use for BWT, you can often import the verification. This tool *cannot* check for this method.

This tool focuses on the HTML Meta Tag method as it’s the most common one easily discoverable from the page’s source code.

How to Use This BWT Verification Checker Tool

  1. Enter the full URL of the page you want to check (make sure it starts with http:// or https://). It is recommended to check your homepage, as the meta tag method is typically applied there.
  2. Click the “Check Verification” button.
  3. The tool will fetch the page’s HTML content and scan it for the standard Bing Webmaster Tools HTML meta tag ().
  4. The results area will update to tell you whether this specific meta tag was found.
  5. If the meta tag is found, the tool indicates potential verification via this method. If not found, it means this specific method is not present on that page.

Use this tool as a quick check for the presence of the BWT HTML meta tag. Remember that other verification methods exist and are not checked by this tool. Always refer to your Bing Webmaster Tools account for the definitive verification status.
