Show up in Microsoft Copilot.
Copilot is built into Windows, the Edge browser, Bing and Microsoft 365 — reaching people at work and at home. It relies on Bing’s search index, so Bing visibility is where Copilot visibility begins.

If Bing cannot see you, neither can Copilot.
Many businesses ignore Bing because Google dominates search. But Microsoft Copilot — available across Windows, Edge, Bing and Microsoft 365 apps used by millions of workers — grounds its answers in the Bing search index.
That makes some simple steps surprisingly valuable: verifying your site in Bing Webmaster Tools, submitting sitemaps, using IndexNow so new and updated pages are picked up quickly, and fixing issues Bing reports. Then the usual AI-visibility work — clear answers, structured data and authority — makes your pages more likely to be cited.
For B2B brands, Copilot’s place inside Microsoft 365 makes this especially relevant.
Microsoft Copilot visibility matters if…
- You sell to businesses that use Microsoft 365
- You have never set up Bing Webmaster Tools
- New pages take long to appear in Bing
- Your audience uses Windows and Edge
- Copilot gives outdated information about you

Bing’s own search share is smaller than Google’s, but it also powers Copilot and other AI tools — so the effort now pays off more widely.
