Hopefully they "fix" these issues soon. A yellowpages + microsoft partnership does not inspire lots of confidence.

I cannot see a way to upload photos, or add a Canadian listing at all. It's most frustrating, as the google & yelp place pages are SO easy to edit and verify. If anyone knows how to claim a Canadian business, get my hours, photos, etc up, it would be FANTASTIC to know!!! The page for adding a listing is only for American sites.

My manager and I were totally stuck as to how to "claim" our property, and it wouldn't show up anywhere. What a hassle huh? Our verification is now pending :) Thanks again! ~Assistant innkeeper Lacey Arlington's River Rock Inn 360-403-7014 Thank you so much for posting this!

It seems there are two alternative ways of approaching this. I first used the Bing webmaster center, but that just seems to associate a site without showing a maps option. Youe link looks better, but doesn't acknowledge that the site was already listed using the bing webmaster tools. Perhaps the site needs to be crawled first. Anyway. thanks.

It is a little hard getting used to after utilizing other SEOs. But over time, like anything else it will get easier. BING does have a good eye-appeal and it is relatively user friendly for the additional options. First time user on BING. It is a little hard getting used to after utilizing other SEOs.

Unfortunately, there's nothing that can be done with it. The status shows as "Incomplete" and when clicking on Edit Listing the same error pops up: "We're sorry Something went wrong. Please try again later." Perhaps the edit feature will work one day, but right now nothing can be done.
