Bing Webmaster Tools Integration

Available on: Solo plans and higher

Connect Bing Webmaster Tools to see Bing search performance alongside Google Search Console and GA4. Bing data powers the Performance Hub, Brand Visibility Score, and agent tools so you get a complete search feedback loop, not just the Google slice.

What You Can Do

Import Bing search analytics per brand (clicks, impressions, CTR, average position)
See combined organic KPIs in Performance Hub (Google + Bing summed, with per-engine breakdown on hover)
Track top Bing queries and pages merged into Performance Hub tables
Feed Brand Visibility Score with Bing traffic, not just Google
Query Bing data via agents, MCP, and CLI (get_bing_performance, cuppa perf bing)

Plan Requirements

Plan	Bing Webmaster Access
Solo	Available
Studio	Available
Scale	Available
Enterprise	Available

Legacy plans: Power, Business, Agency, and Agency+ include the same access (mapped to Solo, Studio, Scale, and Enterprise). Hobby does not. Legacy plans are no longer available for new purchases.

Bing uses the same integrations feature gate as Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4.

Availability

Bing Webmaster Tools is controlled by a feature flag. It appears in Team Settings and Brand Settings only when NEXT_PUBLIC_BING_WMT_ENABLED=true is set in your Cuppa environment. Production Cuppa enables this after rollout.

Prerequisites

A Bing Webmaster Tools account with verified sites
Owner or Full access to the properties you want to connect
A Cuppa Solo plan or higher

How Connection Works (Two-Tier Model)

Cuppa uses the same pattern as GSC and GA4:

Team level: OAuth tokens stored once per team in Team Settings
Brand level: Each brand binds to one verified Bing property

This lets agencies connect one Microsoft account and map different Bing properties to different client brands.

Step 1: Connect Bing at the Team Level

Go to Team Settings → Integrations
Find Bing Webmaster Tools
Click Connect
Sign in with your Microsoft account
Authorize Cuppa to read Webmaster data

Tip: Use the same Microsoft account that owns your Bing Webmaster properties.

Step 2: Bind a Property per Brand

Open Brand Settings for the site you want to connect
Go to the Basic tab
Find the Bing Webmaster Tools section
Select your team Bing connection
Choose the verified property from the dropdown
Save

Cuppa triggers an immediate background sync when you save. Data also refreshes on the daily cron.

Step 3: Wait for Initial Sync

Status	Meaning
Syncing…	First pull in progress
Connected	Property bound and sync running
Last synced	Shows timestamp of most recent successful sync

First sync timing: Bing’s API returns weekly buckets. Expect up to 24 hours for history to populate after the first successful sync.

What Data Gets Synced

Bing Data	Cuppa Storage	How Cuppa Uses It
Query performance	`site_bing_queries`	Top queries, BVS, agent/MCP/CLI tools
Page performance	`site_bing_pages`	Top pages, merged Performance Hub tables
Weekly site traffic	`site_bing_traffic_history`	KPI trends, period-over-period comparisons

Important: Weekly Granularity

Unlike Google Search Console (daily), Bing Webmaster Tools reports in weekly buckets (Saturday dates). This means:

Trend charts show weekly points for Bing-contributed traffic
KPI totals still reflect the selected date range
A brand with only Bing connected can still earn a Brand Visibility Score

Performance Hub Behavior

When Bing is connected alongside GSC:

Metric	Behavior
Organic Clicks	Google + Bing combined
Organic Impressions	Google + Bing combined
KPI hover tooltip	Shows Google vs Bing split
Trends (organic series)	Bing weekly history merged in
Top Pages / Top Queries	Bing rows merged with Google data
Brand Visibility Score	Organic component includes Bing metrics

If you connect Bing and organic KPIs jump, that is expected: you are now seeing the full search picture, not just Google.

API, MCP, and CLI Access

Surface	Command / Tool	What It Returns
REST API	`GET /v1/performance/bing`	Bing totals, top queries, top pages
REST API	`GET /v1/performance/overview`	Combined KPIs + `searchBreakdown`
MCP	`get_bing_performance`	Bing-only performance summary
MCP	`get_brand_performance`	Combined overview with engine breakdown
CLI	`cuppa perf bing`	Terminal-friendly Bing performance table
Agent Chat	`get_bing_performance`	Same data for autonomous workflows

Data Refresh

Trigger	When
Automatic	Daily at 5:30 AM UTC (`cron-bing-sync-queries`)
On property bind	Immediate via `bing/sync-site` background job
Manual	Re-save property or use Bing sync in settings

Sync order relative to other jobs: GSC (4:00 AM) → GA4 (5:00 AM) → Bing (5:30 AM) → BVS daily (5:00 AM after GSC).

Troubleshooting

”Bing Webmaster Tools not showing in Integrations”

Confirm your plan is Solo or higher
Confirm NEXT_PUBLIC_BING_WMT_ENABLED=true in the Cuppa environment (self-hosted / staging)

“No properties found”

Verify the correct Microsoft account was used for OAuth
Confirm sites are verified in Bing Webmaster Tools
Check you have Owner or Full access to the property

”Connected but no data in Performance Hub”

Wait for the first sync to complete (up to 24 hours)
Bing reports weekly; new properties may have sparse history
Confirm the correct property is bound in Brand Settings

”Organic KPIs jumped after connecting Bing”

Expected behavior. Combined Search totals now include Bing clicks and impressions.
Hover KPI cards to see the Google vs Bing split.

”Connection expired”

Go to Team Settings → Integrations → Bing → Reconnect
Re-authorize with Microsoft

Privacy and Security

OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication (scope: webmaster.read)
Read-only access - Cuppa never modifies your Bing Webmaster settings
Data stored securely per team, never shared across accounts
Revoke anytime from Microsoft account permissions or Cuppa disconnect

Revoking Access

From Cuppa: Team Settings → Integrations → Bing Webmaster Tools → Disconnect

From Microsoft: Account security → Apps and services → Remove Cuppa access

FAQ

Do I need Bing if I already have GSC? Yes, if you want the full search picture. Many sites get meaningful traffic from Bing that GSC never shows. Performance Hub combines both when connected.

Which plan includes Bing? Solo plan and higher (same as GSC and GA4 integrations).

Can I connect multiple Bing accounts? One Microsoft OAuth connection per team. Disconnect and reconnect to switch accounts.

How often is data synced? Automatically every 24 hours at 5:30 AM UTC, plus immediately when you bind a property.

Why is Bing data weekly, not daily? Bing Webmaster Tools API returns weekly buckets. This is a Microsoft API limitation, not a Cuppa limitation.

Does connecting affect my Bing rankings? No. Cuppa only reads analytics data.

What if I disconnect Bing? Performance Hub reverts to Google-only organic KPIs. Cached Bing data remains until the next cleanup cycle.
