name: seo-bing description: Bing Webmaster Tools + IndexNow extension. Microsoft Copilot citations are fed by the Bing index; this skill makes Bing visibility, link data, and IndexNow URL submission first-class. metadata: version: "2.2.16" compatibility: "Requires BING_WEBMASTER_API_KEY and (optionally) INDEXNOW_KEY in ~/.claude/settings.json env. Run extensions/bing-webmaster/install.sh to configure."

seo-bing

The non-Google indexing surface. Google still rejects IndexNow (per Gary Illyes, multiple SOTR episodes 2024-2025), so this skill is specifically for Bing/Yandex/Seznam/Naver indexing and Microsoft Copilot AI citation (which pulls from the Bing index).

Prerequisites

• Run extensions/bing-webmaster/install.sh or install.ps1.
• A Bing Webmaster Tools API key.
• Optional: an IndexNow host key (32+ chars) published at the URL declared as INDEXNOW_KEY_LOCATION.

Routing

| Command | Underlying script | |---|---| | /seo bing links <url> | python3 scripts/bing_webmaster.py links <url> | | /seo bing compare <urlA> <urlB> | python3 scripts/bing_webmaster.py compare <urlA> <urlB> | | /seo bing submit <url> (single URL) | python3 scripts/indexnow_submit.py --host ... --urls <url> | | /seo bing submit-batch <file> | python3 scripts/indexnow_submit.py --urls-file <file> | | /seo bing verify-indexnow | python3 scripts/indexnow_submit.py --verify-only |

When this skill applies

• The user is publishing new pages and wants Microsoft Copilot citation eligibility (Bing index ingestion).
• The user wants to nudge Bing/Yandex/Seznam/Naver indexing for fresh URLs.
• The user is doing competitor backlink analysis and wants Bing's unique link data (Bing tracks links Google's API doesn't surface).

Cross-skill delegation

• For Google indexing (very different model — sitemap-driven, no IndexNow), use seo-google indexing.
• For multi-source backlink confidence weighting, fall back to seo-backlinks which already integrates Bing + Moz + CC.
