Both Google and Bing use hundreds of ranking factors, but they weigh them differently — Google leans more on semantic understanding and AI-driven context, while Bing still rewards clearer keyword targeting and traditional optimisation signals.
- Google SEO: Google’s algorithm is highly advanced, using natural language processing, machine learning, and entities to interpret context and intent. Key signals include E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust), high-quality backlinks, mobile-first indexing, Core Web Vitals, structured data, and topical authority.
- Bing SEO: Bing has made big strides but still tends to place more emphasis on exact-match domains, keyword usage in meta tags, and straightforward on-page optimisation than Google. It also integrates tightly with Microsoft’s ecosystem (Windows, Edge, Office, Copilot). Backlinks and content quality remain just as important.
It’s crucial to optimise for both Google and Bing. Google remains the dominant search engine, but Bing powers Microsoft Copilot and many large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, which means Bing optimisation directly impacts AI-driven visibility.
We build strategies that perform strongly across both platforms, combining technical optimisation, authority building, and entity-based SEO to maximise visibility in Google, Bing, and AI-driven environments.
