AI answers (GEO): how often Copilot cites my sites
Kept apart from search on purpose. This comes from Bing's AI Performance export, which I pull by hand, so it runs through Aug 26, 2026, older than the search numbers above. Visits from AI assistants aren't shown: my analytics data for them didn't pass my own checks.

How these numbers stay honest
A wrong number is worse than no number, so this page shows the misses next to the wins and leaves out anything that didn't pass a check. It's the same rule as the rest of my work: never ship a wrong fact.
- Recomputed from the raw data. Before an update ships, a separate check recomputes every percentage here from the raw Search Console, Bing and Copilot rows and stops the update if a single one is off.
- The misses stay in. Sites that fell are in the same tables as the ones that grew, with the same math.
- Left out on purpose. Visits from AI assistants, because that analytics data failed my checks (likely bot traffic and sessions counted twice). The current month and rolling windows, because recent data is still settling. Growth since launch, because a brand new site grows from nothing.
- Known limits. Google figures come from the Search Console API, which can run about 1% below the Search Console screen. Copilot citations come from a manual export that ends Aug 26, 2026. Visits through Bing's partners, like DuckDuckGo and Yahoo, aren't counted anywhere.
How I build checks like this one, and the mistakes behind them: how I keep my sites accurate.

Month by month, with the changes I made
The blocks count the changes I logged that month by kind; what they were stays private. Search moves for plenty of reasons, so this lines the two up without claiming one caused the other.
