Start by checking those stages, then look for actual citations in the intended Copilot experience. ## Access and evidence Check | What the evidence establishes | Search foundation | Bing and Copilot rely on core discovery, crawling and indexing systems. Use Bing Webmaster Tools to inspect the indexed version. Publisher guidance. | Bot identity | Verify bingbot with Microsoft's IP list or reverse and forward DNS checks; refresh IP-based lists daily. Verification method. | Content controls | noarchive excludes Chat/Copilot links and training use; nocache limits use to URL, title and snippet. If both occur, Bing treats the page as nocache. Exact meta-tag rules. | IndexNow | Notifies participating engines about added, changed or removed URLs. A successful submission does not guarantee indexing. | AI Performance | Bing's report aggregates citations across Copilot, Bing AI summaries and selected partners. Citation counts are not clicks or answer positions. | ## Practical priorities for beauty businesses - Verify the site, maintain a sitemap of canonical pages and make priority pages reachable through ordinary internal links. - Inspect the last indexed state as well as the live page. Resolve stale redirects, missing content or accidental exclusions before judging citations. - Notify meaningful URL changes through IndexNow, then check whether Bing actually crawled and indexed the update. - Review robots meta controls alongside training preferences; Microsoft does not describe them as the same independent switches used by every other provider. - Use AI Performance page and query data to find content gaps, and save separate consumer Copilot answers for the fixed question set. ## How to measure this surface AI Performance now includes preview Intents, Topics, Citation Share and Compare views. Citation Share describes the site's share of citations for a grounding query, not market share, traffic share or a quality ranking. Reports aggregate supported surfaces and are not a complete log of every answer. Follow the measurement methodology: keep retrieval, citation, factual accuracy and qualified enquiries as separate outcomes. ## Published evidence A published Microsoft Copilot sample is pending in the AI Supplier Index. This guide reports reviewed platform guidance, not a completed visibility baseline. See our measurement methodology for the evidence required before publishing results. ## Illustrative buyer questions > Find cosmetic manufacturers with publicly verifiable quality certificates and a documented sampling process. > What should a buyer verify when comparing PCR airless bottle suppliers? Cite the sources. Question templates for beauty-sourcing research, not results from a new test. BeautyGEO service-provider discovery uses its own question set. ## Official sources - Microsoft: Bing Webmaster Guidelines - Microsoft: supported robots meta tags - Microsoft: verifying Bingbot - IndexNow: submission and indexing FAQ - Microsoft: AI Performance reporting - Microsoft: Intents, Topics and Citation Share Guidance reviewed 11 October 2026.

Crawl scheduling and indexing remain separate decisions that need separate evidence. Q: Does noarchive affect Copilot? A: Yes. Microsoft's current meta-tag documentation says noarchive prevents links in Chat/Copilot and excludes content from training use. Nocache has a narrower URL, title and snippet scope, including when both tags are present. Q: Can we treat AI Performance as a Copilot ranking? A: No. It reports aggregated citation activity across supported Microsoft and partner experiences. Consumer Copilot answers, traffic and enquiries require separate measurement. *** ## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQPage Grounding) ### Q: Does IndexNow mean a page is indexed? **A**: No. It informs participating search engines of a change.
