I'm Ben and we are going to add a WordPress Website to Bing Webmaster Tools site just like we did with WordPress + Google Search Console.

We're going to add Bing Webmaster tools for a particular website. And again, this new website has yoast SEO installed. It's WordPress. So we can use the HTML meta tag, copy that tag and under the settings it's easier just to search for them. But it is under the settings of with connections. Yeah, here you go. Site connections. There's the bin code, paste, save. There we go. So once that's saved and click verify, you can do it via a file that you upload to the server. Done. Now what's really good about Bing webmaster tools as opposed to Google Webmaster tools? Or now it's called Google Search console so you can actually scan the website. So let's go to here, start a new scan.

So, so we're just going to scan the site, scan the whole thing, go to a thousand pages, do the whole lot. It's only a small site and then it's going to email me when it's done. There we go. So we've connected Bing webmaster tools through Yoast to a WordPress website and we kicked off the first scan. There we go.
