Microsoft Copilot builds its answers from Bing search results. Bing also powers parts of other AI tools. So while most hotels and restaurants ignore Bing, it quietly shapes a lot of AI answers.

## Why Bing matters

- Copilot is built into Windows, Edge and Microsoft 365, so many people use it without thinking of it as a "search".
- Bing's index feeds other services too.
- Bing supports IndexNow, which lets sites tell it about new pages straight away.

## What to check

- Search Bing for your venue's name. Are your details right?
- Is your site indexed? Bing Webmaster Tools shows it.
- Do your Bing Places details match your Google profile?

## Check Copilot's answers

Ask Copilot the questions your guests ask and see who it names. If it's consistently missing you, look at Bing first.
