Is there a way to see if a Bing Places Listing is verified?

[bks_seo]

For example, Google has a badge for verified listings. I was wondering if Bing had something similar.

Hi there!

This is how you can check-

• Search Bing for your business name. How detailed and filled in your business listing appears may indicate that it has been optimized, and therefore, already claimed. Near the bottom, look for this wording: “Change your business listing” and click on this link.
• If it has been claimed, the phrase “This listing has already been claimed” will show up next to your business name.

Hope this helps!

Hi There!

Here's a link for you that I believe should help explain this:

Hello,

That link is for listings in your dashboard. I am asking about listings that you have not started the verification process at all. For example, just looking at a random listing (one that you are not going to claim), is there a way to see if it is a verified listing. Thank you!

Hi There!

Sorry that wasn't what you needed. Basically, no, so far as I know, there is no obvious visual signal looking through Bing Places that a listing has been verified. If you click on the 'report a problem' link at the bottom of a Bing Place page, it takes you to a page that says 'Are you the business owner, claim this listing', but unfortunately, it appears to do this whether the listing is claimed or not. So, that's kind of weird. As an experiment, you could attempt to go through the claiming process of a listing you are curious about and see if it eventually stops you with a 'this is already claimed' message. This is the only test I can think of to run. Hope it's at least somewhat helpful to know you're not missing some obvious visual signal. There just doesn't appear to be one, nor can I find any documentation that such a signal exists.
