MapBusinessOnline: A Smarter Alternative to Bing Maps
When Bing Maps was rolled out to replace the popular MapPoint platform, many commercial users felt a sense of acute disappointment. While Bing Maps offers some of the same features as MapPoint, the consensus has been that it falls short as an enterprise-software platform.
Fortunately, there are a number of Bing Map alternatives that offer advanced business mapping functionality. MapBusinessOnline was specifically designed to meet the needs of vibrant commercial enterprises in a wide range of industries. Keep reading to learn more.
MapBusinessOnline vs. Bing Maps
MapBusinessOnline is a comprehensive business mapping solution. Unlike with Bing Maps, an extensive set of standard features means most customers won’t need to modify MBO with custom APIs or services. You don’t need to hire programmers to work with MapBusinessOnline. Other benefits of using MBO instead of Bing Maps include:
- Improved territory management tools. MapBusinessOnline allows users to create detailed sales territories using city, county, state or zip code layers, add in demographic data and analyze areas of interest. This makes strategic planning and resource management smarter and simpler – an important benefit for any business with an active sales and marketing staff.
- Simplified pricing and licensing options. As an alternative to Bing Maps, MapBusinessOnline offers a far simpler licensing and pricing structure. MBO has been designed specifically to meet the needs of enterprise customers, so you know you’re getting the right product for your business. There are not that many differences between plans: the length of the subscription, the number of users and the geographic areas covered. Visit the MBO Pricing page for details and avoid the Microsoft pricing conundrum.
- Personalized service. Both Bing Maps and MapBusinessOnline offer on-demand technical support from a team of knowledgeable experts. However, only MapBusinessOnline can deliver the level of personalized service you expect from a dedicated business mapping company. The MapBusinessOnline team will get to know you and your needs over time, and will provide enhanced support and troubleshooting accordingly. Unlike with Bing Maps, at MapBusinessOnline you’re not just another anonymous customer.
By far the biggest advantage to using MapBusinessOnline instead of Bing Maps is that MBO has been designed from the ground up to serve enterprise clients. This means it integrates more seamlessly with Salesforce, QuickBooks and other management and accounting tools, and provides a richer feature set that makes it easier to use geographic and demographic data to your advantage.

"I have had the pleasure of using MapBusinessOnline for the past 5 years and it is an excellent and affordable tool for my clients. I am a franchise consultant, and many of my clients are just starting to get into franchising. The first main question many of them have is they don’t know the demographics around their current location, so they don’t know how to create territories for their franchisees. I am able to easily utilize MapBusinessOnline to draw a prototype territory around their existing location, do a deep dive into the many different demographics that MapBusinessOnline offers, and help the client determine the basics of their new territories, including mileage, population, household count, purchasing habits and age distributions. This tool has been so helpful that many of our clients obtain their own accounts as they begin to sell franchises and grow their business. Thank you, MapBusinessOnline, for providing such a helpful tool that is affordable and easy to use!"
