Questions buyers and operators ask
Which crawl mistakes hurt AI visibility first?
Blocking important paths, relying on hidden client-rendered content, serving duplicate URLs, using accidental noindex, and leaving pages orphaned hurt discovery.
How should new pages be submitted to Bing?
Use XML sitemaps and IndexNow for added or updated canonical URLs after the page passes live indexability checks.
What should not be submitted?
Do not submit query-state URLs, duplicate pages, noindex pages, redirected URLs, or thin drafts.

ChatGPT was doing a better job of going through the top 100 results, finding the most relevant answers to users questions, bypassing Google's entire business model of ads. Google was threatened by these AI tools has now restricted them to the top 10 results.
