Reviews
what people actually sayThe Bing URL Submissions Plugin is a simple tool for automating URL submissions to Bing, but it carries a serious and recurring reputation for causing websites to be completely de-indexed from Bing search results.

Common complaints

- −Plugin submits unintended URLs, such as scheduled/pending post draft URLs (?p= links) and API log pages, causing SEO issues×2
- −No visibility or feedback on which URLs were submitted or removed from Bing's crawl queue, leaving users unable to verify the plugin is working
- −API key setup is unreliable — errors reported when adding the key, and the key resets on live site when merging from a staging environment×2
- −Poor or very slow support response to known issues in the forum×2
- −Compatibility issue causing a critical WordPress error when used alongside the AMP plugin
- −Low indexing success rate reported for non-English language sites
