How to speed up website indexing in Bing?

There is an issue with website indexing in Microsoft Bing. Bing takes a very long time to index new websites — at least two weeks, and sometimes it can take several months. Meanwhile, Google indexes websites immediately, on the day of registration or the next day.


I register new domains with no history. The Bing bot is not blocked in robots.txt, and I don’t use Cloudflare on the websites.

Use rankmath or bing instant indexing plugin :)
 
I had the same problem. Once I turned on IndexNow (via Rank Math), Bing started indexing my pages within a few hours.
 
Bing always takes its time with fresh domains. Submitting through Bing Webmaster Tools and getting a few links from already indexed sites helps a bit, but it’s still slow compared to Google.
 
Add your website on Bing Webmaster Tools
Submit your sitemap
Send your pages to IndexNow (when a page is created, deleted, updated)
I think these are the best practices in order for Bing and others SE which use IndexNow (eg : Yandex) to index your website faster
 
You are true that bing is slow in indexing. But it is super slow in new sites as well. While google crawl news sites faster than bing but both are very speculative in link building. If you have enough quality backlinks it indexes sites faster.

Hey bro, we’re having the same Bing SEO issues — indexing problems, sites getting deindexed right after they get in, all that stuff.
Drop your TG please
 
But honestly, with Bing and new domains, a lot of it just comes down to patience. It's not unusual for them to take their sweet time.

Right now the problem isn’t with the indexing speed, but with staying in the index.
A new site gets indexed (apparently after being checked by one of Bing’s bots), then after 1–3 days it just gets removed from the index — it doesn’t show up even with site: or url: search.
Support keeps replying with the same standard message:


“After further review, it appears that your site https://domain.com/ did not meet the standards set by Bing the last time it was crawled.”

But the site was added to the index just 1–3 days earlier, and obviously hasn’t changed since then.
How can it “meet the standards” during indexing, but fail to meet them just a few days later?
 
Yes you’re not alone: many webmasters report that Bing is much slower than Google at indexing brand-new domains or sites with little history. Here’s a summary of common causes and things you can try (since you already confirmed your bot isn’t blocked and you’re not using Cloudflare in a way that blocks crawling).
 
  1. Use the Bing Webmaster Tool: This is the most effective method. Just sign up, add your website, and submit your sitemap.
  2. Use the IndexNow API: This instantly notifies Bing (and other search engines) whenever you update or add a page.
Getting quality backlinks from other sites also encourages Bing to crawl your site faster. Usually, Bing indexing takes time. Be patient.

Bing is just slow with new domains lately. It’s not your setup. What usually helps is adding the site to Bing Webmaster Tools, submitting the sitemap, and getting a few real backlinks so Bingbot has a reason to crawl faster. Once it sees some activity, indexing speeds up.
 
Use Bing Webmaster Tools URL Submission API. it’s the fastest way to get your pages indexed quickly.
 
Bing's crawling velocity is fundamentally lower than Google's; it prioritizes established sites and external authority signals heavily. The most effective resolution is manually submitting URLs via Bing Webmaster Tools and using the IndexNow API, which improves crawl frequency by an estimated 50%. Also, ensure you acquire 3-5 initial backlinks from sites Bing already trusts heavily, as Bing is more reliant on link signals than Google for establishing site authority.

We’ve tried using Bing Webmaster IndexNow many times, and it has never produced any noticeable results - websites were indexed at the same speed as usual, even without adding them to Webmaster. We use an Xrumer run on a small database, plus social media posts (like on Reddit), which can speed up the process.

That’s a fair point on the inconsistency of IndexNow; its success often relies heavily on perfect server implementation and initial site quality. However, your method using Xrumer/Reddit actually confirms the core principle: using high-authority, frequently crawled platforms is the most reliable way to force instant link discovery by Bing.
IndexNow provides essential visibility for the general content, but for aggressive link indexing, the community still leans on forcing the crawl via established, trusted social feeds. The fact is, Bing is far more sensitive to those strong authority signals than Google is.
 
Bing indexing is usually slow, so make sure your sitemap is submitted in Bing Webmaster Tools and build a few quality backlinks. Once Bing finds regular signals, indexing speed improves automatically.
