I registered a clients site on Bing months ago, and it is indexed, however there is absolutely 0 sign of it in the local search results. It does come up #1 in the organic Bing results below the map, but why not in the map area?

Any help would be great. PM please and I can send the site to be looked at.

Thank you,

Katy

      I'm always amazed as to why one person would pay
      another to take less than 5 minutes to fill out a form.
      If you people get money for that, more power to you!

      But if you filled the form out wrong, or did not do the
      location, phone number, etc. right, it can be brutal.

      There is no guarantee of a top spot. I know little about bing,
      but google is all about location, relevancy, and reviews.

      If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

    Can you supply with any more details? Also did you check the bing business center and check for any messages to why it would be prevented?

      I have the same problem. I submitted my website to Bing. When I search for the term chiropractor my website shows up under the web results, but not the local results.

      I remember reading in a blog: for Bing, setting the categories correctly is extremely important. This made me check my own categories.

      I found that my categories were "alternative medicine, dayspas, health clubs & fitness, massage" I search for "massage" and my website is the second result on the page! All the while I have been wanting people to find me when searching for chiropractor.

      I have since changed my categories to reflect the fact that I am a chiropractor. (patiently waiting for the changes to take effect)
