Interesting. Would you still recommend optimizing for Bing?

Bing and Yahoo are both very important sources of native traffic.

And here is one insider comment that fits
It is mostly just Google spill-over, but Bing is definitely different. If you want to get some, then you need to concentrate a lot on exact anchor text linking, schemas, and high DA aged domain – Bing has an algorithmic fetish for nostalgia and being very direct, while Google relies on their semantic AI. Don’t forget to submit your site map into Bing Webmaster Tools because they don't automatically crawl everything like Google

Then Bing google too ,use squarespace should be the optimum, because it has schema include automatical, image alt links ( manual input) cleaner code, no plugins will mess up with your code.

Many ss sites getting good organic seo traffic. One thing you should care about is: not let AI steal content snippets from you.

I think most SEO efforts for Google usually work on Bing as well, so I don’t really optimize separately for Bing.

Innexistent for us. Not that many people use it so it's useless to us. It's mostly US traffic, they have about 10% market search share so if you're not marketing to the US (which already has a lower visibility than other search engines, and mostly desktop at that), you're focusing on the wrong source.

Let always when you have built your site with topical clusters (necessary today) index by Bing. Bing lets you index and ranking faster, later you will show up on google too, so you profit form 2 organic seo traffic sources.

Since when Bing US traffic organic seo is useless? Check some big media newspaper sites and see how much traffic they get from Bing USA.

yeah for most sites bing is a nice extra traffic source, not something people actively chase, usually good google seo already brings decent bing traffic too.

Interesting. Have you noticed any niches where Bing performs particularly well?

 

[Mr. Black Jack]

It depends on the niche, but Bing can be a valuable source of high-quality traffic.

For me, Google SEO efforts also work on Bing, but I do some small optimizations like submitting sitemap and checking Bing Webmaster Tools. I dont really make a separate strategy only for Bing.

I am curious to hear from members who get consistent traffic from bing. Do you actively optimize for bing or do your google seo efforts naturally work there as well?

Hey there,

Bing traffic is usually smaller than Google, but it’s not useless.

For most sites, it’s extra traffic rather than the main source. Good Google SEO often carries over to Bing to some degree, but Bing does treat some things differently (especially backlinks and certain ranking signals).

I don’t usually optimize separately for Bing unless the site already gets decent volume there. For most people it’s better to focus on Google first and treat Bing as a bonus.

Do you already see any noticeable Bing traffic on your sites?
