How to Access the Webmaster Extras Section

The Webmaster Extras is located within the SEO Configuration section of Squirrly SEO.

To reach it, go to Squirrly SEO > Technical SEO > Connect Tools > Webmaster Extras

Here you will see the following options:

Bing Webmaster Tools

  • To reach this option, go to: Squirrly SEO > Technical SEO > Connect Tools > Webmaster Extras > Bing Webmaster Tools

A free Microsoft service, Bing Webmaster Tools lets webmasters add their sites to the Bing crawler so that they can show up in the search engine result pages.

Another benefit of adding your site to the Bing crawler is that it enables you to monitor your website’s overall presence. It’s like Google Search Console – but for the Bing search engine.

Enter your Bing meta verification code in this section.

Similar to the process for Google Search Console, Squirrly will then add the Bing META verification code to your site to verify your site with Bing and connect to Bing Webmaster Tools.

 ! To connect your website to Bing Webmaster Tools, you first need to add your site to Bing Webmaster Tools (requires a Microsoft account). If you do not have an account yet, then you need to create one on the Bing Webmasters site.

Baidu Webmaster Tools

Baidu is the dominant internet search engine company in China. Its features and services are similar to those provided by Google. However, its focus is on websites that target Chinese audiences (Baidu controls most of the search market in China).

Enter your Baidu meta verification code in this section.

Squirrly will then add the Baidu META verification code to your site to verify your site with Baidu and connect to Baidu Webmaster Tools.

 ! If you want to add your website to Baidu, you will first need a Baidu account.

Squirrly will then add the Yandex META verification code to your site to verify your site with Yandex and connect to Yandex Webmaster Tools.

 ! To be able to connect your website to Yandex Webmaster Tools, you first need to add your site to Yandex Webmaster Tools (requires having an account with Yandex; if you don’t yet have an account, you can create one here).

Pinterest Website Validator Code
