Claim and enrich your listing

Connect with local customers by claiming your business listing on Bing Places for Business. When your listing is included as part of local search results to millions of online searchers, customers can learn more about your business before setting foot in your store. Likewise, enriched business information — such as reviews, photos and store hours — drives higher online conversions. Get started with Bing Places for Business and you can include rich information in your listing that’s easy to set up for both single- and multiple-location businesses.

Adding Call Extensions to your local advertisements lets smartphone users tap the phone number in your ad to call your business. Offline users will conveniently see your number to call via their landline or mobile device. And tablet or PC users can click your ad within the search results for a free Skype call in the browser window.
