Interesting. Would you still recommend optimizing for Bing?

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?

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.

As a member who receives consistent traffic from Bing, I've noticed that some actively optimize for this platform, as it has different features and algorithms compared to Google. This includes adjusting keywords and creating specific content that resonates with the Bing audience. However, I've also seen that many SEO efforts on Google work well naturally on Bing, although it's advisable to make some specific optimizations to maximize performance.

Note though, that this Bing thread seems to make clear that traditional or ongoing SEO concepts (like keywords, url or title structure, etc) all of a sudden come back as ranking factors compared to the more opaque terms (queries, pillars, intent et al) dominating the Google heavy scene today. It's almost as if the mighty G wants things to be less understandable or logically assessible for US SEO practitioners. And yet SEO providers here report they can get their "ancient ways" to generate traffic all the same. Hmmm, could it be that the verbiage is just meant to make people more dependent on Google to scrutinize their ranking efforts?

Bing indexes your posts faster...by the way most traffic with Bing comes form USA yes it's less than G traffic but a good source it indexes faster and comes faster even if you have a news site. Traffic from other countries are pennies not worth it -to low for zero.
