Bing Webmaster Tools allows you to monitor your website’s visibility in Bing search results, submit sitemaps, and manage SEO performance.
This guide walks you through:

Choose CNAME record to DNS
You will use this information to create a CNAME in the next steps in your domain hosting provider’s DNS settings.
The CNAME record must be added inside the platform where your domain is managed (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).
If you manage your domain through Umbrella, see the section after Step 6 for navigation steps to access your DNS settings.
Log in to your domain hosting provider (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, etc.).
Navigate to your domain’s DNS Management section.
Locate the CNAME Records area.
Click Add Record.
What to paste into each field
When adding the CNAME record:
The Host / Name is the exact string shown in Bing under CNAME verification (usually a random string such as a1b2c3d4). from Step 3.
The Value / Target / Points to must be entered exactly as:verify.bing.com
Most DNS providers automatically append your domain name to the Host field. Do not manually add your domain again.
Return to Bing Webmaster Tools.
Click Verify.
If verification fails:
Wait 5–10 minutes for DNS propagation.
Click Verify again.
Once verified, your website will show as successfully added.
