It tracks citation visibility across supported AI surfaces. Instead of measuring clicks or rankings, it shows whether your content is used to ground AI-generated answers.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Microsoft framed the launch as an early step toward Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) tooling, designed to help publishers understand how their content shows up in AI-driven discovery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What it looks like.<\/strong> Microsoft shared this image of AI Performance in Bing Webmaster Tools:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1988\" height=\"1422\" http: alt=\"Bing Webmaster Tools Ai Performance\" class=\"wp-image-468755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/02\/bing-webmaster-tools-ai-performance.png 1988w, https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/02\/bing-webmaster-tools-ai-performance-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/02\/bing-webmaster-tools-ai-performance-1536x1099.png 1536w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1988px) 100vw, 1988px\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/02\/bing-webmaster-tools-ai-performance.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1988\" height=\"1422\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/02\/bing-webmaster-tools-ai-performance.png\" alt=\"Bing Webmaster Tools Ai Performance\" class=\"wp-image-468755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/02\/bing-webmaster-tools-ai-performance.png 1988w, https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/02\/bing-webmaster-tools-ai-performance-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/02\/bing-webmaster-tools-ai-performance-1536x1099.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1988px) 100vw, 1988px\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>What the dashboard shows.<\/strong> The AI Performance dashboard introduces metrics focused specifically on AI citations:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Total citations:<\/strong> How many times a site is cited as a source in AI-generated answers during a selected period.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Average cited pages:<\/strong> The daily average number of unique URLs from a site referenced across AI experiences.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Grounding queries:<\/strong> Sample query phrases AI systems used to retrieve and cite publisher content.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Page-level citation activity:<\/strong> Citation counts by URL, highlighting which pages are referenced most often.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Visibility trends over time:<\/strong> A timeline view showing how citation activity rises or falls across AI experiences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These metrics only reflect citation frequency.
