Bing Local Rankings

Check how businesses rank in Bing local results. Bing Places feeds Copilot and ChatGPT's web layer.

When to use this

ChatGPT's web results draw on Bing, so Bing local visibility is the closest measurable proxy for whether ChatGPT recommends you. It is also a standard citation most local businesses are expected to hold, independent of any traffic Bing sends.

Response Fields

Field	Type	Description
results	array	One row per listing. Same shape on Apple and Bing, so results compare field-for-field
results[].platform_id	string	Apple's MUID or Bing's place_id. Stable - keep it to skip lookups on later calls
results[].rank	integer \| null	Position in the result set
results[].name	string	Business name as the platform lists it
results[].address	string	Address as the platform lists it - compare against your canonical NAP
results[].phone	string	Phone as the platform lists it
results[].rating	number \| null	Star rating, null when the platform shows none
results[].reviews_count	integer	Review count on that platform
total_results	integer	Number of listings returned

Notes

Bing sends less traffic than Google in most local markets - the value here is citation consistency and AI visibility, not click volume.
Returns the same listing shape as Apple Maps, so both platforms compare without per-platform handling.
