Bing Business Portal (in Beta)
Josh Condie – The Bing Business Portal is in beta and is a great resource to acquaint yourself, and your business, with. It is nicely tailored for the SMB segment, and replaces Bing Local Listings. Bing Business Portal is a free service that allows you to claim your business listing information and be found by millions of Bing users searching online. Claiming your listing allows you to take control of your business listing information online and modify it with rich content such as photos, menus, phone numbers, and other relevant information. This information can drive Bing users to learn more about your products and services as well as how to contact you if they have any questions or desire to initiate a business transaction.
