I’ve been getting many questions lately about how one can go about getting reviews for one’s business directory listing on Bing.

I did some research and have a straight forward answer for you.

About Bing Reviews

The first thing you need to know about Bing reviews is that there is no such thing anymore, as bing has removed the ability to “write a review” right on a Bing Business listing (http://www.smallbusinesssem.com/bing-drops-write-review-link/4176/). Now, instead of hosting their own reviews like Google+ Local, Bing Local listings display review snippets and ratings pulled exclusively from third-party review sites. They may have taken this approach after the conflict (and lawsuit) Google faced when Google was scraping Yelp’s webpage and also promoting a competing review services.

I have seen evidence of Bing pulling reviews from Yelp!, Citysearch, Foursquare, and Trip Advisor.
