Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Ross,

The website you're referencing is the hospital foundation, a non-profit organization that seeks to raise money for the hospital. It is associated with the hospital but is a separate entity, so they aren't one and the same. I do see what you mean by the similarity in website design, but the content itself is very different so I'm not sure that would cause the issue? Thank you for your help.

I have a website that has recently been removed from Bing's index, but can't figure out why. The website isn't new, and it is indexed just fine on Google. These are the steps I've tried:

• The website is verified in Bing Webmaster Tools and successfully submitted the sitemap.
• I tested the URL to ensure that Bingbot is allowed to crawl the site
• I submitted URLs to Bing via the URL Submission tool
• There isn't a "noindex" on the site preventing it from being indexed
• When I do a URL Inspection, an error message comes up saying "The inspected URL is known to Bing but has some issues which are preventing us from serving it to our users. We recommend you to follow Bing Webmaster Guidelines."
• I contacted Bing to ask whether the website was removed in error, but received a reply that the website doesn't comply with Bing's quality guidelines, but they wouldn't go into detail as to which guidelines the website isn't meeting.

The website URL is https://www.pardeehospital.org.

Can anyone offer any advice or insight as to why Bing won't index our site?  Thank you!
