June 2025 Bing Indexing Case Study
Within two hours, I identified a few issues that I believed were preventing Bing from indexing their website.

Not Indexed Issue
This image above is from a different Bing Indexing client that I have, but the message is always the same. Bing will show that they have discovered the URL, but they have not crawled the content because it violates their quality guidelines.
Why is Bing Not Indexing my Website? – Bing Indexing Help
If your website or webpages are not indexed on Microsoft Bing, it is most likely due to the website not following the Microsoft Bing Guidelines. Recently, I was hired by a company to help get their website indexed on Bing. I was able to do that after suggesting they implement a dynamic JavaScript rendering fix / a fix to the no script tag.What Was Done
URL Command Check
Bing and Yahoo both confirmed that no pages were indexed after using a site command.
Google Search Console
I confirmed that Google had indeed indexed pages from my client’s website on their search engine. This report from GSC indicated that there was no issue with spam on the website but rather an issue with the JavaScript that was confusing with Bing.
Sitebulb
I used Sitebulb to crawl the website as Binbgot. I performed this task using both the desktop crawler and mobile crawler to identify errors.
Bing Webmaster Tools
I noticed that Bing Webmaster Tools reported errors via the URL submission, which pointed to a quality guidelines issue.
JavaScript
During my check, I accessed the site using Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome to see how it would load. After disabling JavaScript in Edge, I noticed that the HTML content was no longer visible. This led me to recommend a third-party tool to pre-render their JavaScript and serve their HTML content first.
Additional Steps
After the fix for JS went into play, I recommended that my client update their crawl to be 100% in Bing to speed up indexing, which it did.
Final Thoughts
Bing powers more than just Bing itself. Bing powers AoL, Yahoo, Ecosia, DuckDuckGo, and more platforms. Therefore, getting on Bing should increase your total search traffic by 5-15% each month since Bing makes up that percentage in the United States.
