From our most common questions
-
How long does it take to see my company in the Bing auto-complete?
In order to get you into the auto-complete, we need to establish authority for the keyword. The time this takes varies depending upon the competitiveness of the phrase. But look for the keywords to start showing up within 30-40 days, and all seven should be showing in 45-60 days.
-
Will this increase my business?
Absolutely! Bing tells us that 71% of its users engage in the auto-complete. When a user looks for your product or service and they see you suggested in the auto-complete, it tends to give them increased confidence in your company brand. And when the user clicks on your business in the auto-complete, every organic listing will display your business, not your competition. Our customers experience healthy increases in business.

Do you do SEO work for us also?
Yes. In order to get your keyword phrases to show up as suggestions in the auto-complete box, we need to build authority. To do this, we will create YouTube videos for you, press-releases and/or blogs, post to directory listings and post to social media. This is work that will be very beneficial for your organic rankings as a whole also. But mainly we do this so Bing will add you as a suggested company in the auto-complete.

-
This sounds amazing. Do you use any black- or gray-hat methods to attain those results?
We do not. In order to influence the auto complete, Bing looks to see what is currently trending. So our process works down the lines of social influences to gain authority for your website and to build social awareness. We do this in such a way that meets Bing’s algorithm standards for determining what to suggest in the auto-complete. This social media trending work that we do is very specific to getting Bing to start suggesting your company in the auto-complete. So we do some things similar to SEO, but specifically tailored towards influencing the indicators that Bing looks at to determine what to put in the auto-suggest, which is mostly social trending.
-
Do I own exclusive use of the keyword phrase, or do you sell the same keyword to my competitors?
You have exclusive use. Once a keyword phrase is sold, it is no longer available. To test if the keyword phrase that you want is still available, just go to Bing and type in the keyword phrase. If the auto-completes box shows any company name after the keyword phrase in the suggestion box, the keyword phrase is taken. If not, then the keyword phrase is likely still available. There may be times when the keyword phrase has been purchased, but not yet appearing in the auto-complete. Contact us today to get started on your business evolution.
-
Do I have to pay the monthly fee upfront?
No. This is a pay-for-results system. The monthly fee will not be due until all seven of your keywords are showing. The $207 reservation fee is your only upfront cost.
-
What is a local keyword phrase?
We sell keyword phrases for local and national businesses. A local keyword phrases means that you have a location designation in the phrase. For instance, "garage door repair Boston" would be a local keyword phrase, whereas "garage door repair" would be a national keyword phrase. When you purchase a national keyword phrase, you should be able to assist customers across the country. National keyword phrases are great for franchise businesses, while local keywords drive customers to specific city/town businesses.
-
What is the price for a national keyword phrase?
National keyword phrases get thousands and even tens of thousands of searches per month. A national mortgage bank may want to purchase "home loans" and other related searches. They will receive inquiries from every state and need to be able to service those customers.
The price for national keywords is based on the competitiveness of the phrase. The work involved in getting a national keyword phrase in auto-suggest is dependent on many factors, so we price the national keywords individually. Contact Own Bing to get a national quote.
-
Why is this just for Bing? Can you do auto-suggest for Google too?
Yes, we can. But we recommend against it because it takes MUCH longer to see results and it costs far more. The investment for one Google keyword is $495/month, the same as seven Bing keywords. But the biggest reason we suggest Bing is time - it takes at least six months to rank on Google, but it's usually closer to eight months.
