Bing Webmaster Tools

Finseo connects to your Bing Webmaster Tools account and pulls Bing Search Performance data. You see queries, pages, clicks, impressions, and positions for the Bing search index, which now also powers ChatGPT search and Microsoft Copilot. Bing data sits in the same dashboard as your Google Search Console data and your AI visibility metrics for a complete view of search performance.

1. 01

   Track Bing organic performance

   See your top queries, pages, clicks, impressions, and average positions in Bing. Bing accounts for 8 to 12% of US desktop search and powers Microsoft Copilot, making this data more strategically important than market share suggests.

2. 02

   Monitor Copilot referrals

   Microsoft Copilot retrieves answers from the Bing index. Tracking your Bing performance is the closest proxy for understanding which content Copilot is likely to surface and cite.

3. 03

   ChatGPT search relevance

   OpenAI uses Bing as one of its primary search backends for ChatGPT search and ChatGPT browse. Strong Bing performance correlates with stronger ChatGPT citation rates.

4. 04

   Compare Google vs Bing

   See where you rank well in Google but lag in Bing, or vice versa. Bing rewards different signals (older domains, exact match keywords, deeper content). Finseo highlights the gaps.

5. 05

   Index and crawl insights

   See how many of your pages Bing has indexed, identify crawl errors, and understand your sitemap submission status, all alongside Google Search Console for comparison.

Bing has long been treated as the second tier search engine, but its strategic importance grew massively in 2024 and 2025 because of Microsoft Copilot and the Bing index powering OpenAI ChatGPT search. Bing now indirectly drives a portion of citations that show up in ChatGPT and Copilot. Tracking Bing alongside Google Search Console and AI visibility is essential for a complete picture of search performance in 2026.

Why does Bing data matter if I already have Google Search Console?

Bing now powers Microsoft Copilot and is one of the search backends used by OpenAI ChatGPT search and browse. Tracking Bing performance is the closest proxy for understanding what Copilot and ChatGPT search will surface, even though those AI engines do not expose direct citation analytics.

Does this track Microsoft Copilot referrals?

Bing Webmaster Tools shows Bing search performance, which is a strong proxy for Copilot retrieval. Direct Copilot referral tracking depends on URL parameters and is partially available via Finseo AI Analytics. Combining both gives the most complete picture.

Does Finseo work with Yahoo and Yandex too?

Yahoo organic search is powered by Bing under the hood, so Bing data is the proxy. Yandex is not currently supported as a direct integration. If you have specific data needs around Yandex or other regional search engines, contact us.
