Stuck in "Bing Jail": Discovered but not crawled (Live Test is all Green) – Any Fix?

Hi everyone,

I’m running into a frustrating issue with Bing Webmaster Tools and was hoping someone here has cracked the code on this.

The Situation:

  • Status: "Discovered but not crawled"
  • Error Message: "URL cannot appear on Bing. The inspected URL is known to Bing but has some issues which are preventing indexation."
  • The Twist: When I run a Live Test in Bing Webmaster Tools, every single check is Green. There are no robots.txt blocks, no 'noindex' tags, and the page loads perfectly for the bot.
  • Discovery Date: 12 Dec 2025 (It's been sitting like this for over two weeks).
  • Context: The site is indexed on Google, but Bing seems to be "ghosting" it.

What I’ve tried so far:

  1. Double-checked robots.txt and sitemaps (all clean).
  2. Verified there are no manual actions or malware flags.
  3. Requested indexing manually (multiple times).
  4. Ensured content is unique and high-quality.

Has anyone dealt with this "Discovered but not crawled" loop when the live test shows no errors? Is this a "wait and see" situation ?

Would appreciate any insights or "voodoo" fixes that worked for you!

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
