# Copilot cites our page and we have no idea what question triggered it

A subpage shows up in Copilot answers while the question behind it stays in the dark.

A customer wrote to say he found us through Copilot. We are pleased about it, but we have no idea what question he got that answer to.

Is there anywhere you can see such citations and the questions behind them?

Bing Webmaster Tools has a dedicated AI performance report for this, in public preview since February 2026\. It shows total citations, average cited pages, per-page citation counts and a timeline.

The most interesting part is called grounding queries. Microsoft describes them as the key phrases the AI used when retrieving content that was referenced in AI-generated answers, and labels them explicitly as a sample of overall citation activity. A clean distinction is worth drawing at this point. What you read there are the machine's own retrieval phrases, and the wording your customer typed is something else. The value stays high all the same, because you see which topic gets your page pulled in.

Setting it up is quick, provided the site is verified in Webmaster Tools. Figures take a while to appear, and on small sites the lists stay thin. An overview across all the systems at once is what the [AI visibility report](https://illia-biztech.de/en/ki-sichtbarkeitsbericht) from Illia BizTech delivers, with Copilot as one line in it.
