This is ridiculous and not exactly building loyalty with Canadian’s. At least you can still bypass it by just putting in an incorrect location and at least be somewhat listed.

Very frustrating that this is still the case… I think some local Canadian companies are paying to provide this content so they can lock in customers. I hope I am wrong…

Wow, still won’t let me claim the Canadian business. Get with the times Bing! I have a Microsoft account, like Google Adwords. They can take your money for bidding on keywords, but won’t let you claim your location in CANADA…. eh

I had the same question for the longest time! why Microsoft doesn’t let Canadian business be listed on Bings business portal. I have a feeling they will put a listing price on this service, so users have to pay to get listed. Just like other Microsoft products for instance XBOX LIVE or Microsoft Anti Virus….

Tried the same trick with Yahoo, but wouldn’t go past the 5 digit Zip Code

Ok…I’m back and may have figured it out!

I was able to input all my info here…www.bingbusinessportal.com

It let me put the full address in, including Postal Code. I left the US as the country, but on the map it shows up properly. They mail out their verification and say I should have it in 7-10 days.

I’ll update then if it works :0

Hi there, yes, you are correct… this has been going way too long. If only we had something of significance to hold over their head to get this done. Right now, Bing simply doesn’t care about Canadians. It is clear and as is typical with Microsoft… stupid.

This is insane! According to your string, this conversation has been going on since June 26th 2009!!!!! and this still hasn’t been fixed?? (It’s only been an issue for me for a couple of days…but this is getting incredibly frustrating. Every where I look tells me that to rank in local search, I need to have a presence in google, yahoo and bing local. How can I rank if I can’t post a profile? ughhhh.. so frustrated.

I found out the hard way that Yahoo was in bed with the yellowpages extortionists when I couldn’t list on Yahoo local. Now same thing with Bing… LAME. So I have to pay $600+ a month to yellowpages just so I can list on Yahoo and Bing…. Ummm how about NO?

Die yellowpages DIE already !!!! And stop phoning me!
