Bing Webmaster Tools adds Topics Portfolio to AI Performance

Bing Webmaster Tools has added Topics Portfolio, a beta view in its AI Performance report that groups a site’s AI Search citations into thematic clusters rather than individual queries, per Bing Blogs. Each topic lists Topic Size (approximate total citations across all sites, a demand signal), Sites Cited (competing sites) and Queries; topic pages separate a site’s own “grounding queries” from “Opportunity Queries,” where competitors are cited and the site is not. Microsoft says the beta appears only for sites with “sufficient data” and names no threshold, so smaller sites may see little or nothing. It extends the AI Performance report Bing began building out in June with Intents, Topics, Citation Share and Compare.
