Copilot ships inside Windows, Edge, and Microsoft 365 — an enormous default-on distribution, especially in enterprise. It's also the only major AI answer surface grounded on Bing rather than Google or a proprietary crawl, so it reaches an index none of your other tracking covers.
Ranking in Bing is necessary but not sufficient — Copilot's answer layer selects, synthesizes, and cites a handful of pages from the retrieval set. Two sites ranking #3 and #4 can have wildly different citation rates. You have to sample the answer surface itself.
Base requests are 5 credits with sources, citation pills, shopping cards, query fan-out, and markdown included. US `state` targeting adds +2. See pricing.
Yes — the same response can carry shoppingCards and local map entries (result.map) on shopping and local prompts, at no extra credit cost.
Yes — the request and response shapes are deliberately parallel. The same code that processes ChatGPT sources handles Copilot with an endpoint swap, and extends to Gemini and Perplexity.
