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.

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.
