Challenges with Integrating Bing Console for My New Website

Hello,

I'm planning to integrate my new website, wendymenus.com, with Bing Console. However, I've been reading about various issues users have faced during the setup process, especially when it comes to site verification, sitemap submission, and initial indexing.

Before I dive in, I'd like to ask:

1. What are the common problems you’ve encountered while setting up Bing Console for new websites?
2. Are there any particular issues with Bing recognizing certain sitemap formats or delays in processing?
3. Have recent Bing updates impacted the console's performance or its ability to index new sites effectively?

I'd appreciate insights or tips from anyone who has gone through this process recently. Any best practices or pitfalls to avoid would be really helpful!

Thanks in advance!
