Why Bing Matters for UAE Businesses
Most UAE businesses focus only on Google, but Bing is still the default search engine for Microsoft Edge, Windows PCs, and many enterprise setups. Thousands of customers use Bing daily for local business discovery—especially B2B, expats, and government sectors. Optimizing Bing Places can unlock a valuable customer segment with almost zero competition.

Go to bingplaces.com. Search for your UAE business. If you find it, claim it. If not, add it using your Microsoft account. -
Complete Every Field
Enter your business name, address, city, UAE phone number, website, hours, and category. Exact NAP (Name, Address, Phone) matching your Google/Apple listings is crucial for trust and ranking. -
