Bing Webmaster Tools - Does anyone use it?

When it comes to applied SEO one of the most important tools you need to check on a daily basis is Search Console, formally known as Google Webmaster Tools, but for years now Bing has its own version of Search Console called Bing Webmaster Tools.
Bing Webmaster Tools - Does anyone use it?
Has anyone here gone to the trouble of setting such an account? I would only do it when a website I'm administrating will get a lot of organic traffic from Bing, otherwise no, I don't really have any reason to implement it for my clients. Most of the rely on local organic traffic and very few people here (if any) use Bing as a search engine, everyone uses Google so the potential organic traffic one might get from Bing is very slim.

On the other hand, I also have some international based clients that may profit from some Bing traffic. Does setting up a Bing webmaster tools will get you better ranks in Bing?

I registered my websites on Bing Webmaster Tools and I have no idea how this affects my website SEO and my rankings. I have no idea but someone said I should do it and at that stage I didn't even know there was a Bing Webmaster Tools.

I just thought well if there are things that may help my websites SEO why not give it a go. I forgot all about that until now, I haven't even gone back and looked at it again to be honest. I don't even remember what my password or anything is LOL.

I do rank on Bing, I checked so that is enough for me. I just put all my focus onto Google because well there is a reason why people say "Google It" instead of search online. Never have I heard anyone say "just Bing it", right?

Lol yes, very true Lynne, this is why I didn't create Bing Webmaster tools accounts and wanted to see if anyone is using BWT on a daily basis like I use Google Search Console. So yeah, I got my answer, no point in setting up a BWT if I'm never going to check it again and as Mike says you don't get any direct benefits like better ranks in Bing.

I used Bing Webmaster Tools only because when I was setting up a site, it asked for a “verification”. That's the only time. It didn't work against my site. But it didn't work any organic magic for it either!

I am using Bing webmaster tool for my website but to be honest it is only used to submit sitemaps and see traffic of my websites on Bing search. I didn't have many things to do with Bing.
