Why Bing Matters for AI Visibility

Microsoft Copilot — one of the fastest-growing AI assistants — draws directly from Bing's search index. If your site is not indexed in Bing, you are invisible to Copilot.

Setup Steps

  1. Go to bing.com/webmasters and sign in with a Microsoft account
  2. Click Add a Site and enter your domain
  3. Verify your site using the XML file, meta tag, or CNAME method
  4. Submit your sitemap URL
  5. Enable automatic URL submission for faster indexing

Monthly Monitoring

Check pages indexed vs. submitted, top queries from Bing, and crawl errors that need fixing.
