Amy – I’ve never heard of that situation. Can you make a screenshot of the error message? I’d love to see it. My email is matt [at] mattmcgee.com

Glad to here your site is pending. I am being told my listing won’t be published because my content doesn’t adhere to the code of ethics. Of course, I can’t figure out what is wrong with it or who to contact to figure out the problem.

I am trying to update a client’s Bing places and they have changed it. How in the world does one edit or update their Bing Places now? It used to be fairly simple but since the Verification process, it won’t let me in. Says it is already verified.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for taking the time to educate me about the time involved in publishing updates. I am still in the “Under review” phase after taking the snail mail challenge. Its good to know that I only lack about 5 days until my site is published. Once again thanks alot! Daniel

I am so incredibly unhappy with Bing Local. They still don’t allow you to manage listings outside the US (repeating a comment made 2 years ago on this thread). This is beyond stupid and arrogant. Why do they take so long? This is the real world and they are trying to compete with companies that are competent and quick to address needs. Really, kill the service or fix it!

Bing has been in the process of updating the useability on the side of claiming your local business. They are calling this the beta version, and it still has a few bugs they are working out (such as email verification and the bouncing back and forth of products page) Susan, one good thing I’ve found about Bing, is there customer service is pretty good. I’d send them an email and see what they say about your question. Once you get through all the hiccups, the portal really is pretty user friendly, especially if your business has more than one location.
