Microsoft introduced an AI Performance dashboard in Bing Webmaster Tools, giving visibility into how content gets cited across Copilot and AI-generated answers in Bing.<\/p>
The feature, now in public preview, shows citation counts, page-level activity, and trends over time. It covers AI experiences across Copilot, AI summaries in Bing, and select partner integrations.<\/p>
Microsoft announced the feature on the Bing Webmaster Blog.<\/p>
The AI Performance dashboard provides four core metrics.<\/p>
Total citations<\/strong> tracks how often your content appears as a source in AI-generated answers during a selected time period. Average cited pages<\/strong> shows the daily average of unique URLs from your site referenced across AI answers.<\/p> Page-level citation<\/strong> activity breaks down which specific URLs get cited most often. This lets you see which pages AI systems reference and how that activity changes over time.<\/p> The dashboard also introduces \u201cgrounding queries<\/strong>,\u201d which Microsoft describes as the key phrases AI used when retrieving content for answers. The company notes this data represents a sample rather than complete citation activity.<\/p> A timeline view shows how citation patterns change over time across supported AI experiences.<\/p> This is the first time Bing Webmaster Tools has shown how often content is cited in generative answers, including which URLs are referenced and how citation activity changes over time.<\/p> Google includes AI Overviews and AI Mode in Search Console\u2019s overall Performance reporting, but it doesn\u2019t offer a dedicated AI Overviews\/AI Mode report or citation-style URL counts. AI Overviews also occupy a single position, with all links assigned that same position.<\/p> Bing\u2019s dashboard goes further. It tracks which pages get cited, how often, and what phrases triggered the citation. That gives you data to work with instead of guesses.<\/p> AI Performance is available now in Bing Webmaster Tools as a public preview. Microsoft said it will continue refining metrics as more data is processed.<\/p> Bing has been building toward this for a while. The platform consolidated web search and chat metrics into a single dashboard and has added comparison features and content control tools since then.<\/p> Featured Image: Mijansk786\/Shutterstock<\/em><\/p> <\/div> News,Tools#Bing #Webmaster #Tools #Adds #Citation #Performance #Data #sejournal #MattGSouthern1770682862<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Microsoft introduced an AI Performance dashboard in Bing Webmaster Tools, giving visibility into how content gets cited across Copilot and AI-generated answers in Bing.
