Bing Webmaster Tools
Bing powers more search than its own website: its results also feed other search engines and assistants. Add it next to Search Console for a fuller view of your search traffic.
What you get
Section titled “What you get”| Metric | Meaning | Period value |
|---|---|---|
| Clicks | Clicks from Bing search results | Sum of the days |
| Impressions | How often your site appeared in results | Sum of the days |
| Indexed pages | Pages Bing has in its index | Latest observation |
Days are counted in UTC. Bing only keeps a limited history of its own, so the first import may cover less than your history window.
