Business owners, stake your claim! Bing has released the Bing Business Portal into the wild. Bing Business Portal is a new service from Bing to help business owners create and control their presence online.
While it is still in beta, business owners can now search for and claim their business listing. Once claimed, business owners can control their listing, adding such information like logos, photos, business hours, accepted forms of payment, parking availability, social media links and more.
Business owners can even create and promote deals that will appear on Bing desktop search results and on Bing for Mobile. There's even a feature to publish deals directly to your business' Facebook page.
Bing Business Portal will be replacing the soon to be defunct Bing Local Listing Center (LLC). If your business already had a presence on Bing LLC, fret not. All of the existing business listings have already been migrated to Bing Business Portal.
Stake Your Claim
If you are a business owner and want to claim your listing, visit the Bing Business Portal, search for your company and claim it. If it isn't already listed, you can create it in a few steps. You can then verify your listing by telephone of by a PIN number that Bing will send you via postal mail.
