How to read this
- A citation means Copilot named one of our pages as a source for that question. It is not a search count and not a click.
- Bing reports only questions for which our own property was cited, so this is demand seen through one well-cited source, not the whole market. Bing labels the data a sample.
- A question can fall in more than one family, so the shares do not add up to 100%.
- Nothing here is medical, legal or financial advice, and nothing predicts a result for any organisation.
