Official & Legitimate Search Engine Method

This setup tutorial uses strictly authorized, public developer protocols created by search engine engineering teams. By following these steps, you authenticate directly with the search provider. SearchOptiMark never requests your personal email passwords or holds credentials on a third-party server.

Step-by-Step Setup Instructions

Step 1

Sign In to Bing Webmaster Tools

Visit Bing Webmaster Tools (bing.com/webmasters) and sign in using your Microsoft, Google, or Facebook account. If your site is already verified in Google Search Console, you can import your verified domains with a single click.

Step 2

Navigate to API Access Settings

Once inside your dashboard, locate the gear icon (Settings ⚙️) in the top-right corner. Under the settings menu, click on 'API Access' and select 'API Key'.

Step 3

Generate & Copy Your API Key

Click 'Generate API Key' (or copy your existing key). This 32-character hexadecimal key grants programmatic access to submit URL batches directly to Microsoft Bing's indexing infrastructure.

Step 4

Input into SearchOptiMark Bing Indexer

Open the SearchOptiMark Bing Indexer or All-in-One Indexer. Click 'Connect Bing Credentials', paste your API Key, and save. You can now submit batches of up to 10,000 URLs per day with real-time HTTP 200 receipt logging.
