Importing Your Site from Google Search Console into Bing

Use your existing Google Search Console verification to set up Bing Webmaster Tools in one step.

If your site is already verified in Google Search Console, Bing lets you reuse that instead of going through a separate verification process — it's the fastest way to get Bing set up.

Steps

  1. Sign in to Bing Webmaster Tools with a Microsoft account.
  2. Choose the option to import from Google Search Console.
  3. Sign in with the same Google account that has access to your site in Search Console.
  4. Select the site (or sites) you want to import.
  5. Bing pulls in verification and, often, some historical data automatically.
  6. Connect Bing to datanephew once it's verified so its data joins the rest of your reports.

Will this bring over my Search Console history too?

Bing's import can bring in some existing data, but the two tools track things independently going forward — treat Bing as its own ongoing source rather than a mirror of Search Console.

Does datanephew need anything extra after I import into Bing this way?

No — once Bing shows your site as verified, connect it in datanephew the same way you would with any other source.
