What is the AI Performance dashboard in Bing Webmaster Tools?

The AI Performance dashboard is a feature in Bing Webmaster Tools launched in February 2026. It shows how Microsoft Copilot and Bing AI cite your website in AI-generated responses, including total citations, grounding queries, page-level citation data, and visibility trends over time.

What are grounding queries in Bing Webmaster Tools?

Grounding queries are the internal search queries that Bing's AI system generates to retrieve and verify information from its index. They are not the user's original prompt but rather machine-reformulated, keyword-dense retrieval queries that reveal how AI interprets and searches for your content.

What is query fan-out?

Query fan-out is the process where a single user question triggers multiple sub-queries that explore variations, adjacent intents, and comparisons. Instead of answering one prompt with one search, AI systems like Copilot expand the original question into several retrieval queries to build comprehensive responses.

Does Bing Webmaster Tools show data for ChatGPT?

No, the AI Performance dashboard only shows data for Microsoft Copilot and Bing AI surfaces. However, ChatGPT's SearchGPT feature uses Bing's index for web retrieval, so optimizing for Bing's grounding system can indirectly benefit your visibility in ChatGPT search results as well.

How often should I check the AI Performance report?

Check the AI Performance dashboard weekly to spot citation trends and anomalies, and conduct a deeper monthly analysis for strategic decisions like content gap identification and optimization prioritization. Set up regular check-ins alongside your Google Search Console reviews.

Is Bing Webmaster Tools AI Performance free?

Yes, the AI Performance dashboard is completely free for any website verified in Bing Webmaster Tools. You just need to verify ownership of your site through one of the standard methods (DNS, meta tag, or file upload) and the AI Performance data will become available automatically.
