🔍 Overview
Search Atlas supports tracking keyword rankings on Bing in addition to Google. By default, projects may be set to track Google results. This article walks you through exactly how to enable Bing tracking and view your Bing rankings inside the Rank Tracker tool.
🗂️ Step 1 — Open Rank Tracker
In the left sidebar, click Keywords, then select Rank Tracker from the expanded menu. The full navigation path is: Left sidebar → Keywords → Rank Tracker. This opens your list of tracked projects and their associated keyword rankings.
⚙️ Step 2 — Select Your Project
On the Rank Tracker page, locate the project you want to configure for Bing tracking. Click on the project name to open its settings and ranking dashboard. If you have not yet created a project, click Add Project and complete the setup flow before continuing.
🌐 Step 3 — Enable Bing as a Search Engine
Once inside your project, look for the Search Engine filter or settings option. Depending on your view, this may appear as:
- A dropdown menu labelled Search Engine near the top of the rankings table
- A settings panel accessible via a gear or configuration icon within the project
Click the Search Engine dropdown and select Bing from the list of available search engines. If you are in the project creation or editing flow, toggle or check the Bing option alongside any other search engines you want to track.
💾 Step 4 — Save Your Settings
After selecting Bing, click Save or Apply to confirm your changes. Search Atlas will begin collecting Bing ranking data for the keywords associated with that project. Initial data population may take up to 24 hours depending on the number of keywords being tracked.
📈 Step 5 — View Your Bing Rankings
Once Bing tracking is active and data has been collected, return to Left sidebar → Keywords → Rank Tracker and open your project. Use the Search Engine filter at the top of the rankings table to switch between Google and Bing views. Select Bing to display keyword positions specifically from Bing search results. You will see:
- Current Bing ranking position for each keyword
- Position changes over your selected date range
- Search volume data associated with each tracked keyword
✅ Tips for Accurate Bing Tracking
- Target location matters: Make sure your project's target location is set correctly, as Bing rankings can vary significantly by region.
- Device type: Check whether your tracking is set to desktop or mobile, as Bing rankings may differ between devices.
- Keyword list: Bing tracks the same keyword list as your Google settings within the same project. Add any additional keywords before enabling tracking to capture a full picture from day one.
- Data refresh: Rank Tracker updates rankings on a scheduled basis. If you do not see fresh Bing data immediately, allow up to 24 hours for the first results to appear.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I track both Google and Bing at the same time?
Yes. Search Atlas allows you to enable multiple search engines within the same project. Use the Search Engine filter to toggle between views without losing any data.
Will enabling Bing affect my existing Google rankings data?
No. Enabling Bing tracking is additive. Your existing Google ranking history remains intact and is not modified when you add Bing.
Why does my Bing ranking show as 'N/A' or empty?
This usually means tracking was just enabled and data collection is still in progress. Wait 24 hours and refresh the page. If the issue persists after 48 hours, contact support using the method below.
