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 **Amazon/Bing/Naver/Seznam.cz/Yandex/Yep 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>` | `"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run bing_webmaster.py links <url>` | | `/seo bing compare <urlA> <urlB>` | `"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run bing_webmaster.py compare <urlA> <urlB>`; both properties must be registered to the API account | | `/seo bing submit <url>` (single URL) | `"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run indexnow_submit.py --host ... --urls <url>` | | `/seo bing submit-batch <file>` | `"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run indexnow_submit.py --host ... --urls-file <file>` | | `/seo bing verify-indexnow` | `"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run indexnow_submit.py --host ... --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 Amazon/Bing/Naver/Seznam.cz/Yandex/Yep indexing for fresh

URLs.

• The user manages both properties and wants to compare their Bing link data.

For an arbitrary competitor, route to DataForSEO, Moz, or Common Crawl.

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.
