Microsoft/Bing Webmaster Tools

[Titan552]

I am a web developer and I have multiple clients for whom I manage websites and I have a couple of questions.

1. I personally have microsoft account. Should I create a second ms account for my company? As I would like to keep my personal and business interests separate.

2. For my clients who already have a microsoft ID, should they create a second microsoft ID for their businesses? And for services such as bing for business?

This is the protocol I follow for Google, but I want to see if MS is the same.

Thank you!

A easy way to insert question is definitely if you use a personal e-mail address and a separate e-mail address for business.

It sounds to me like you want to have these things separated.

I would create a new Bing webmaster tools account for your businesses URL along with every client.

I honestly focus mostly on Google however it is important to make sure your doing things correctly on Bing as well.

Here is a link talking about managing clients accounts or how to "Manage access to client accounts" using Bing Webmaster tools

& how to add users

I would go with what makes you more comfortable.

Personally I believe separating business with your personal e-mail is a very wise decision.

I hope this helps,
