Renaming of Bing Webmaster Tools to Bing Search Console Not Planned

One of the questions about Google changing their webmaster support name from Google Webmaster Tools to Google Search Console is whether Bing would follow suit with their own webmaster support product.

When Bing launched their own tools and support for webmasters, they followed Google’s lead and named it Bing Webmaster Tools.  It also offers similar tools and help that Google offers, but much of it tailored to Bing’s own search results, along with multiple tools that are more universal for both Bing and Google.  So when Google announced their own rename, many wondered whether Bing would also be renaming Bing Webmaster Tools to Bing Search Console.

According to Duane Forrester, there are no plans for Bing to rename Bing Webmaster Tools, at least not at this time.

So while we may see a rename and rebrand in the future, it currently isn’t on the radar of the Bing webmaster team.  So you only need to worry about memorizing Google’s new Search Console name, not a new name from Bing as well.
