Thx @DarwinSantosNYC. Freshness is the real game-changer in Web IQ. Semantic-first hybrid search is smart, but useless if the data is stale. In the agentic web, agents act one outdated fact and everything breaks. Bing’s Web IQ nails it by treating freshness as first-class. Real-time signals + long-lived index = reliable grounding. Without it, you’re just reasoning over yesterday’s web. @kmadhavan77 and I gave you the tool : adopt IndexNow, take control of your SEO and GEO game with real-time indexing !

@rustybrick Well, SEOs… did you notice that both Googlebot and Bingbot are explicitly allowed on X’s https://t.co/DDFbIzddb0 shortener ? Time to do some "proper" link building replying SEO tweets. 😉

@timetravel_ai @bing Please reply or chat me the ticket IDs.

@rustybrick Great pick ! SEO was easier when Microsoft Clippy asked: “It looks like you’re trying to rank a webpage. Need help?” 📎

Now we have dozens of AI assistants, dozens of GEO frameworks, and hundreds of LinkedIn experts explaining SEO, GEO, AEO, *EO "optimization" 🤪

@lilyraynyc Typical issue from over-relying on LLMs. They’re smart, but they’re just snapshots of the past. SEOs, GEOs Want to control LLMs? Push fresh content and remove outdated pages fast ideally with IndexNow. Take back control of your content game with real-time indexing!

Bing hitting 1 billion monthly active users is HUGE. More growth in 5 years than the prior 10. #SEOs pay close attention. The search landscape is shifting fast. Time to optimize for Bing Search and Bing Grounding API alongside Google. Congrats to the entire Bing team and partners driving this momentum! Excited for what’s next for our customers. 🚀

[Jordi Ribas @JordiRib1]

Bing just reached a major milestone: 1 billion monthly active users, as @satyanadella shared on today’s earnings call. We’ve added more users in the last 5 years than in the previous 10.

I’m so grateful for everyone in Bing and our partners across Microsoft and beyond who have contributed over the years to this achievement, driving advances in fundamentals, differentiation, and growth with passion and tenacity.

Few products reach the 1 billion user mark, and few technologies in history have been as transformative as web search. I am excited for our team to continue to drive innovation and competition in this critical area for society.

@internetarchive @waybackmachine @internetarchive I fully support your noble mission to backup the web. You are essential for preserving our digital history. Happy to have helped you adopt IndexNow as a search engine to backup fresh content on websites much easier; advancing your mission.🙌

💯

[theodor hanu | SEO & Growth @theo_hanu]

SEOs will spend hours on prompt engineering for GEO and ignore basic indexing hygiene.

IndexNow literally lets you tell search engines when content changes.

But sure, keep waiting for crawlers and calling it strategy.

[Fabrice Canel @facan]

Happy Easter to all ✝️

@MuskieMcKay @lilyraynyc Use noindex to hide your legacy page from Google Search & AI crawlers, but keep it fully visible to human visitors? use data-nosnippet, to hide only specific parts of a page (legacy content part) while keeping the rest indexable: . https://t.co/LvDT1REWCs

@rustybrick @aleyda @bing @kmadhavan77 Good question! Many advertisers are loving the new AI performance tool because it gives them access to valuable AI data. So we used this Ads blog post to highlight this incremental feature, and as I said, there’s a lot more coming. Stay tuned. We will speak about that in our blog

[Microsoft Bing Webmaster Team @BingWMC]

Advertisers, GEOs, SEOs want clarity, not guesswork. With AI Performance report, you can now see which pages power AI answers and which queries cite your content making it easier to optimize pages that actually drive AI visibility and ads performance. https://t.co/4FlMvxdefp
