Full Definition
Microsoft Copilot (formerly Bing Chat) is Microsoft's AI assistant, built on OpenAI's technology and integrated directly into the Bing search engine. Because Copilot draws from Bing's index, dealerships with strong Bing visibility and well-structured schema markup are more likely to appear in Copilot's recommendations. Copilot is embedded across Windows 11, Microsoft Edge, and Microsoft 365, giving it broad reach among business users and older demographics who use default Windows browsers.
Why It Matters for Your Dealership
Bing powers a meaningful share of desktop search in the US, and Copilot is embedded across Windows 11, Edge, and Microsoft 365. Dealerships ignored by Copilot lose a real segment of buyers who search on Bing-based surfaces, including many corporate fleet and commercial vehicle shoppers.
In Practice
Because Copilot draws from Bing's index, dealerships with strong Bing visibility and well-structured schema markup are more likely to appear in Copilot's recommendations.
