Seo on Bing. Web positioning in Bing
As a SEO agency, we give special importance to the organic positioning of our clients' websites on Bing, Microsoft's search engine. Moreover, since Yahoo! runs on Bing, working on SEO in Bing has a direct impact on the results of Yahoo! and other search engines.
SEO on Bing and Yahoo!
Bing may not be the most popular search engine in Spain, but it has a not insignificant market share. As for desktop, the latest available data assigns 8.94% of searches. If we add this to Yahoo!'s 2.46%, we get 11.4% of the total number of searches carried out on desktop search engines in Spain and worldwide. In addition, the introduction of artificial intelligence in Bing through the implementation of ChatGPT, makes it highly likely that this market share will increase in the coming months. All this makes Bing web positioning a must for any project that wants to succeed and not miss any opportunity. The data shown corresponds to Spain, a country with very little implementation of Bing so far. But for projects with a vocation to work on international SEO, working on SEO in Bing is practically essential.Bing SEO is different from Google SEO
Bing SEO is different from Google SEO
The fundamentals of SEO in Bing are similar to those of SEO in Google, giving great importance to quality content and on-page technical SEO. However, Bing has some particularities that force us to work on positioning in a different way. It has its own tools such as Bing Webmaster Tools or Bing Places, and the weight of the variables associated with technical SEO in the algorithm are different to those of Google. For example, Bing gives greater importance to the social interactions of a website when it comes to generating its ranking. On the other hand, the incorporation of ChatGPT opens up a new world of possibilities in SEO.
