What options do I have with Bing Places?

[sakibkhan22197]

Anyone accustomed to working with Google My Business will be quite disappointed with Bing Places. In terms of design and profile options, the tool seems several years behind its Google competitor. Nevertheless, there are opportunities for optimization.

When creating a new Bing Places listing, make sure to fill out all information fields properly. These include address (NAP – Name, Address, Phone), opening hours, categories, and images.

Make sure you submit any changes early. It can often take several days for the indonesia phone number data changes to be reflected in Bing. Even in the SERPs, the ad won't look as good as it does on Google My Business. It will still serve its purpose.
