		<description><![CDATA[When optimizing for local searches, it&#8217;s important to recognize the difference between two distinct user segments. Bruce Clay defines these as &#8220;recovery&#8221; and &#8220;discovery.&#8221; When someone knows your business but needs contact or location information, they will be searching on brands and company names.

Simply go to http://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?sitemap=www.YourWebAddress.com/sitemap.xml, replacing &#8220;www.YourWebAddress.com/sitemap.xml&#8221; with your website&#8217;s sitemap URL.
