    HI! I have a question regarding Bing Indexation. My website has some issues that prevent it from being indexed in Bing. I emailed Bing support 5 TIMES!! but they Did not give me ANY precise answer What Exactly Can cause a problem.
    I have checked All of their Quality Guidelines and have Not Found Anything that may cause such a problem. I have No Problems with other search engines.
    Please help me to understand what should I do in this case when I don’t know What to fix??
    Which Rank Math Setting Can potentially affect indextation, what should I check in my account settings?

    Thank you do much for support!

    Could you confirm if there are any errors displayed in your Bing Webmasters account?

    Also, please share your website’s URL so that we can check the sitemaps and other files, on our end.

    Looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Thank you.

    I have no severe errors in my webmaster account, only 2 indications that the title is too long and alt tag is missing. But do they have an impact to the indextaion? I’ve fixed the major issues.

    There are practically all urls with a Guidelines issues.
    But I dont understand what exactly can prevent them from indexation, Title?/Content?…
    I’ve checked all the Guidelines and Adhere to All of their Rules…

    Here is what I see:
    The inspected URL is known to Bing but has some issues which are preventing indexation. We recommend you to follow Bing Webmaster Guidelines to increase your chances of indexation.

    They Dont’ Explain the Exact Issue! How could I fix it in this case?

    Hello,

    Thanks for the details.

    I checked your sitemaps and they are loading properly. The sitemaps are also accessible to Bingbot.

    Could you also share some of the affected URLs so that we can further investigate the issue?

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thanks.

    The most common errors indicated:
    -H1 tag is missing
    -the Descriprion is too long or too short
    -the img tag does not have an Alt attribute

    Can they affect to such extend?

    Hello,

    Thank you for the follow-up.

    I’ve checked your site, and it seems that those URLs you have provided are already appearing on the Google Search results page. Your sitemap and robots.txt are also working fine.

    If a URL is on Google, there is technically no reason for it to not be included in Bing, unless Bing has some reason to not index a page like DMCA, copyright content, nulled content, copied content, etc.

    In this case, only Bing knows the exact reason why they are not indexed, as from checking the page’s source code, there are no apparent issues.

    I would recommend trying various site audit tools like SEMRush to check if there is an issue with your website.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance.

    I also don’t know why such issues appeared in Bing, there is no problems on Google with these and other pages. As for other rules, I should say that it also adheres to the content guidelines and represents a unique content.
    I will recheck the pages via Semrush.
    Do you suggest Site Audit Tool for it? To which signs I need to pay attention in this case?
    Thank you for your support!
