How to Claim/Add a Bing Places Listing

How to set up your Bing Places listing on Microsoft's redesigned platform.

Microsoft relaunched Bing Places in a redesigned form on October 3, 2025, moving the whole product from the old bingplaces.com to bing.com/forbusiness, according to Microsoft's Bing Search Blog.

Steps

  1. Go to bing.com/forbusiness and sign in with a Microsoft account.
  2. Search for your business to see if a listing already exists.
  3. If it exists, claim it; if not, add your business details manually.
  4. Verify ownership using the method Microsoft offers — often instant if you have a verified Google Business Profile, otherwise phone or postcard.
  5. Complete your profile with hours, photos, and categories once verified.

Can datanephew set up my Bing Places listing for me?

Not yet — that requires Bing Places support, which is on datanephew's roadmap. Datanephew's existing Bing Webmaster connector covers your Bing search performance, which is a different, already-connected piece.

I set up the old bingplaces.com years ago — do I need to redo anything?

Check your listing at the new bing.com/forbusiness address, since Microsoft moved the whole product there in October 2025 — it's worth confirming your old listing carried over correctly.
