- Open the site in Chrome and open DevTools (⌥⌘I on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+I on Windows), then the Network tab.
- Reload and filter for bat.bing.com. A request to it means the tag is live on that page.
- Not there? It may only fire on conversion pages, or sit inside Google Tag Manager. Search the container’s tags (or the gtm.js response) for bat.bing.com.

What is bat.bing.com?
It serves UET tag — the tag advertisers add so Microsoft Ads can measure ad clicks and conversions on their own site. Its presence means a site has set up Microsoft Ads measurement; it does not tell you how much, or whether, they are currently spending.
How can I check if a website has the Microsoft Ads tag?
Open the site in Chrome, open DevTools → Network, reload, and filter for "bat.bing.com". A request to it means the tag is live on that page. If the site uses Google Tag Manager, the tag can also sit inside the container and fire only on certain pages.
