How do I connect Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools?

Checked against the product · For Launch, Growth, Pro

Settings → Search and redirects walks you through both, once your site is live. They're free tools from Google and Bing that show what they find on your site.

For Google, add your site as a URL prefix property, choose the HTML tag method, and paste Google's tag into the Google's tag box. Then press Verify in Search Console and add sitemap.xml under Sitemaps. For Bing, the quickest way is Import from Google Search Console once Google is done; or paste Bing's tag the same way. If your page shows a Connect Google Search Console button, it does the Google part in one step.

We already tell Bing about every page you publish, and Google reads your sitemap from robots.txt either way.

Step by step

  1. Open Google Search Console, choose URL prefix and enter your site's address.
  2. Pick HTML tag and copy the tag Google shows you.
  3. Paste it into Google's tag in Settings → Search and redirects and tap Save tags.
  4. Press Verify in Search Console, then add sitemap.xml under Sitemaps.
  5. In Bing Webmaster Tools, use Import from Google Search Console.
