Bing places for business

The app is good, what is missing (in general) is the support of more advanced analytics and reporting that are available on Google. For instance, a more accurate comparison of views with competitors, detailed photo views data and where people search from. Not only this will make the service better, but chances are that more people will consider advertising (I would).

The best user experience for agencies and multi-location businesses. The app is organized, clean and un-cluttered, and responds quickly during on-the-go edits. The verification process is amazingly smooth and keeps the clients well-informed. Unlike Google, Bing Places for Business understands the day-to-day role of the agency or marketing professional, which makes my day a whole lot easier. There are no gimmicks, and they don't try to sell ads and products to your clients. Microsoft nailed it.

Bing Places is a poor experience both in app and on website in setting up a business. The web interface frequently errors & the verification process is convoluted and with long delays plus no app updates in over 2 years? Microsoft really should take note of how easy an experience it is to manage a business listing on Google by comparison. The only reason this isn't a 1 star review is the support team were quick to respond & very helpful, it's a shame the app designers aren't better at their job.
