Bing Domination

Bing is an alternative search engine to Google search. It is owned and ran by Microsoft. It uses a different engine than Google and therefore the results will be different.

Market share is far less than Google, around 15 to 25%, however, smart marketers will focus on Bing as well as Google. If you have not registered your website on Bing Webmaster Tools, I highly recommend you do that.

What Bing Webmaster Tools will show is issues your website may have and how it is showing up in search. The more you go through this tool and correct and modify according to the recommendations, the better your website will do in this specific search engine.

Here is a list of things to do with the Webmaster Tools account:

Open a Webmaster Tools account, they are free. You can sign up using your already existing Microsoft, Google or Facebook account.
Add your website to the account and verify it. Once the website is properly verified, a green checkmark will appear and a message stating that you have successfully added your website to Webmaster Tools. If a red cross mark appears, follow the instructions in the message to properly verify the website.
Generate a sitemap and upload it.
Finally, create an SEO game plan. There are a list of tools under the SEO section in Webmaster Tools such as keyword research, investigating backlinks and analyzing SEO errors for your site and individual URLs.

Our company absolutely dominates search for our main search term “Web Design Billings.” You can see that we have rich snippets at the top, which is basically showing a bunch of different pages from our website.

Jophiel grew up on a ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana near Chico Hot Springs. Working on the ranch instilled work ethic and self motivation. Filled with this drive, Jophiel started mowing the local school's yards twice a month throughout the summers, at the age of 12. He moved to Billings in 2004, where he has been deeply involved in the local business community ever since. A serial entrepreneur, Jophiel has ran multiple businesses in our local community. The first business, a janitorial and carpet cleaning company, founded in 2005, has employed over 50 locals. Moving on to the media industry, Jophiel and several partners founded Green Directory Montana in the spring of 2007. Green Directory's sustainability ranking software awarded points based on sustainable or "green" actions. These points counted towards a business's total "Green Score," which in turn ranked them against other businesses in their category and throughout the entire site. It also featured a limited edition print version distributed annually. A business acquisition allowed Jophiel to focus on new projects, and a few close business colleagues and Jophiel started Rocky Mountain Mr. & Ms. Magazine, a lifestyle publication for men and women in the Magic City. After a year and a half at the helm of RM3 Magazine, the business was purchased. He now runs a web development company SkyPoint Studios and fathers his son Jaoquin, who plays football, basketball, soccer, and is learning snowboarding from his dad. Recently, has expanded to locations in Havasu, Arizona & Vegas. SkyPoint Studios is a market leader in both Billings & Havasu and Jophiel is working on building that same level of market dominance in Vegas.
