Bing can be a jackpot for web traffic because only a fraction of businesses have their business properly setup and published on Bing. Because of this, having reviews here has a disproportionate impact; however, Bing does not pull in your Google Reviews, so you need to get them elsewhere.
Food for thought:
- Bing doesn’t use your Google reviews. If you want strong visibility on Bing/Edge (and in Bing Places), you need reviews that live on other platforms.
Actionable Advice:
- For happy, engaged customers – ask for a review somewhere beyond just Google. Guide them to 1–2 profiles that matter for your niche (e.g., Bing pulls from different third-party sites like Facebook, Yelp, etc.)
- Make it effortless. Give a short, textable link or QR that opens the exact “Write a review” spot on that platform. Fewer clicks = more reviews. If you need help generating the links/QRs, I can set them up.
- Coach for context. When it’s appropriate, invite customers to include who/what/where/why/how in their comments. Rich detail helps future buyers and is a stronger relevance signal for Bing.
- Respond within 24-48 hours - on those platforms. Prompt, professional replies to both positive and negative reviews are quality signals and show active ownership for Bing.
- Pick 2-3 “home bases” and stick with them. It’s better to build depth (steady cadence of fresh reviews) on a few profiles than to sprinkle one-offs across ten.
