Pre-flight checks
- Bing Webmaster Tools verified; sitemap submitted; IndexNow enabled.
- Test on the real surface: Copilot in Edge/Windows, signed-in enterprise context if available.
- Baseline prompt set biased toward work-context questions ("compare vendors for…", "what integrates with…").
Source priorities
- Bing-strong owned pages with specification-grade content: features, pricing shape, integrations, compliance.
- Professional corroboration — LinkedIn presence, industry directories, trade press; Bing's trust model weights these for B2B.
- Review platforms with enterprise buyer presence (G2-class).

Frequently asked questions
Copilot shares Bing with ChatGPT — is this the same playbook twice?
Foundations are shared (that's the point — one Bing discipline covers two engines). The divergence is audience and question style: Copilot skews enterprise-desktop, work-context questions. Run the shared foundation once; tune content shape per surface.
