HOWTO: Verify a site on Bing (D7, D8)

Step 1

Get a verification key from Bing. Copy it to the window of an open text editor. It should look something like this:

<meta name="msvalidate.01" content="SOMESTRINGGOESHERE" />

The important part is the value of the "content" attribute, so remove the rest of the string so it looks like the following:

SOMESTRINGGOESHERE

Step 2

Make sure the Metatag: Verification module is enabled, it comes with the main Metatag module.

Step 3

On admin menu go to Configuration > Search and Metadata > Metatag (screenshot attached)

Across from the Global item open the Override or Edit link, as is appropriate.

Click to expand the Site Verification section.

Copy and paste the verification key from step 1 into the "Bing" field.

Click the Save button.

Step 4

The metatag should be added to all pages and should look like this

<meta name="msvalidate.01" content="SOMESTRINGGOESHERE" />
