Krishna Madhavan from Microsoft Bing demo'ed some new AI reporting features that should launch within Bing Webmaster Tools soon. They include citation share, grounding query intent, semantic topic label, and GEO-focused recommendations.
This is to bolster the Bing AI performance reporting that is already available.
We have posts from Azeem Ahmad, Clara Soteras and MJ Cachón.
Clara wrote here are the four new features:
- Intent - primary user goal
- Topic - semantic topic label
- Citation share - share of total citations for a grounding query
- GEO-focused recommendations
MJ summed it up as:
- Citation share
- Intent
- Topics
- Geo recommendations
Azeem said, "Citation Share, Grounding Query Intent (15 pre-defined intents), and GEO-focused recommendations."
Here are some of those slides:
