Why hasn't my website shown in Bing results for the past 8 months?

We launched a client website in November 2024, and it has never appeared in Bing search results. Our website appears in Google Search and ranks correctly in Google Search Console. We have gone through the Bing Webmaster tools extensively, but have received zero insight into the reason for it not displaying on search results. This is a significant hindrance for our business, as we work on government contracts where the business solely uses Bing. We have reached out to support seven different times, and they have stated they are escalating the issue to the engineers. It has now been five months since the first escalation, and no one has ever followed up.

We have implemented backlinks, published Bing places, made all adjustments suggested in Bing Webmaster Tools, and the pages show as being indexed now, but are still not showing anywhere in search results, not even on the very last page. If anyone has any insight on how to make the website appear in Bing search results that would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, just to clarify, Bing’s indexing and ranking are separate processes. Indexing means your URLs are included in Bing’s database, while ranking determines whether and where they appear in search results.

I suggest to verify that your site isn’t being blocked by robots.txt, noindex meta tags, or HTTP headers that could prevent Bingbot from fully crawling or indexing your content.

You can also check the “Index > Crawl Control” section in Bing Webmaster Tools to confirm that Bingbot is actively crawling your site. If crawl activity is low or showing many errors, this might be contributing to the issue.

I realize you’ve likely tried many troubleshooting steps already, so some of this might be repetitive. However, double-checking these points is worthwhile. Ultimately, Bing Support can provide more in-depth assistance, but these checks often help guide toward the root cause.
