Image results Bing vs Google

[ConclusionDigital]

I have a website with a number of images and I have optimized all of the images on both a file name and ALT text level, relevant to content on the page they are published on. I haven't created a separate image sitemap, but the strange thing is that Google has all of my images indexed and they can be found for the right keywords, but when I look in BING! images, there is no image indexed available at all ...

Hi there

One thing to remember is that Google and Bing are two separate search engines with different crawlers and different processes. This could just be a matter of Bing not seeing your images yet. One thing I would do, is create a Bing Webmaster Tools profile and submit your sitemap to them. This will definitely help you! Keep in mind that you don't have to create a second sitemap, you can include images in your regular sitemap XML. (ScreamingFrog can do this for you!)

Also, take a look at Schema opportunities that will help you tag images on pages properly. There have been studies that show that pages with Schema rank higher than a page without Schema, so it only helps you there as well!

Be patient, it sounds like you're on the right path, but with search engines, it's unfortunately a waiting game sometimes and it sounds like you're no different than the rest of us!

Hope this helps! Good luck!
