Bing For Places Verification

Matt B 0

How do we prompt Bing For Places to email or text a verification code. The only option offered is mail which we've requested twice and haven't received.

You cannot switch the postcard to an email or text code — mail is the only option Bing offers when it cannot match the phone number on the listing to a public record. The phone and email options only appear when Bing can verify that number independently, so if your number is new, unlisted, or differs from what public records show, mail is all you get.

Wait the full delivery window before requesting another postcard — up to 12 days. Each new request cancels the PIN before it, so requesting again after a few days guarantees the first card can never work even if it eventually arrives.

Check the address on the listing exactly as Bing shows it. The postcard goes to that address and nothing else, so a missing suite number or a slightly wrong street spelling is enough for it never to arrive. If the address is wrong, raise that with support first — a corrected address needs a fresh postcard.

If the business is already verified on Google Business Profile with the same name, address and phone number, use the Google import instead. Claiming through a verified Google profile skips the PIN entirely, which is the fastest way past a postcard that will not arrive.

If a full 12 days have passed since the latest request and nothing has arrived, do not request a third card. Raise it through the dashboard: sign in, scroll to the bottom, select Support, then Contact Support, and ask for manual verification. Attach a business registration document or a recent utility bill in the business name.

Common mistakes to check: requesting a new postcard every few days, which cancels the code already on its way; looking for an email or text option that Bing does not offer when it cannot match the phone number; and requesting another card while one is still in transit instead of waiting the full window out.

Thanks for reaching out. To help you better, what business name and phone number are on your Bing Places listing right now?

Phone or email verification appears only when the service confirms your business details with public records, so sometimes the system limits you to mail only. If phone or email options do not show and the postcard has not arrived after two attempts, use the Bing Places Support form to request a manual review so they can resend the code or enable another verification method.

unfortunately, it is impossible to get through to support. What is the link to the form to request a manual review?
