Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your website not indexing on Bing. It sounds like you’ve taken the right steps by creating a Bing Webmaster account and submitting your sitemap. The error message "Discovered but not crawled" typically indicates that Bing has found your URL but hasn’t crawled it yet, which can happen for several reasons.
Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:
-
Check for Noindex Tags: Ensure that your pages do not have a noindex tag that might prevent them from being indexed. You can check this in the source code of your pages.
-
Robots.txt File: Verify that your robots.txt file is not blocking Bing from crawling your site. You can check this by visiting `https://rankmath.com/kb/google-index/#robots.txt.
-
Bing Webmaster Tools: In your Bing Webmaster Tools account, check for any messages or alerts that might indicate issues with your site. Sometimes, there may be specific reasons provided by Bing for why URLs are not being crawled.
-
Submit URLs Manually: If you haven’t already, try submitting the specific URLs manually through the Bing Webmaster Tools URL submission feature. This can sometimes prompt Bing to crawl those pages more quickly.
-
Wait for Crawling: Sometimes, it simply takes time for Bing to crawl and index new content. If you’ve recently submitted your sitemap and URLs, it may just be a matter of waiting a bit longer.
-
Check Site Health: Ensure that there are no server issues or downtime that could prevent Bing from accessing your site.
If you’ve gone through these steps and are still experiencing issues, we recommend replying to this ticket with any additional details or error messages you encounter, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope to help you get your website indexed on Bing soon!

You can also get in touch with Bing’s support to get more information about the issue preventing your site from getting indexed in their search.
