Bing Site Verification

  • Enterprise

Verification is the process of proving to Bing (Microsoft) that you are the owner of a website. It is important to confirm ownership because once you have verified a site you have access to its private data, and can affect how Bing crawls it.

Locate your verification code

To locate your Bing site verification code:

  1. Login to your Bing Webmaster Tools account.
    https://www.bing.com/webmaster
  2. From the webmaster tools homepage, locate the site that you would like to verify and select Verify now
  3. You will be prompted with a Meta tag source code which is typically added into the <head> section of your website. Simply extract the code which appears between the content quotation marks - as shown below.
    <meta name="msvalidate.01" content="FD7051125675657234GT5763JSDH2" />

Adding the verification code

  1. From your Divendo admin, select Optimise.
  2. From the Site verification menu, select Bing. You will be presented with the site verification dialog.
