Bing Keyword Research: Find Opportunities Using Real Bing Search Data

What data should you use for Bing keyword research?

Bing Webmaster Tools provides keyword research and reports about your website’s search performance. Keyword research describes search demand. Website performance describes the visibility and clicks your site receives. Bing Webmaster Tools overview.

SourcetoMCP exposes four relevant operations:

Keep the source and period beside every number. A weekly Bing keyword figure and a monthly Google estimate describe different datasets.

Start with the queries already finding your website

Existing visibility gives you a practical place to begin.

Connect Bing Webmaster Tools to SourcetoMCP, then ask your assistant:

Retrieve the most recent available query statistics for my connected website. Show the dates covered, clicks, impressions, CTR and average impression position. Identify commercially relevant queries with substantial impressions and relatively few clicks. Disclose missing data and any row-limit warnings.

SourcetoMCP returns Bing query statistics in weekly buckets. The operation retrieves available history and keeps the most recent rows within its limit.

That limit counts rows, rather than distinct weeks. A large website may have many queries for the same week, so ask the assistant to check the actual coverage before comparing periods.

Look for queries closely related to your product, especially where you already have a page that answers the searcher’s question.

Quantify an opportunity without inventing a forecast

Suppose a query generated the following results over a set of complete weeks.

Hypothetical example:

The calculation is:

4,000 × (1.5% − 1%) = 20 additional clicks

The 1.5% figure is a scenario you have chosen. It does not predict the outcome. Rankings, competing results and search intent can all affect CTR.

The calculation helps you assess scale. You can then decide whether the possible benefit justifies updating the page.

A small, highly relevant opportunity can deserve attention when the query closely matches what your product does.

Check Bing-wide demand for relevant topics

Your site’s query report only covers searches where it received impressions. Broader keyword research helps you explore topics beyond that existing visibility.

Choose a specific seed term related to your product or service.

For example:

Check Bing keyword statistics for “GA4 audit checklist” in the United States, using English. Return the latest 12 available weekly observations, with their dates. Show strict-match impressions and broad-match impressions separately. Explain any missing weeks or coverage limits.

SourcetoMCP’s keyword statistics operation accepts a keyword, country and language. It returns the available weekly history up to the requested row limit. It does not accept a custom date range for this particular report. Microsoft’s GetKeywordStats API reference.

Keep strict-match and broad-match impressions separate. They represent different matching scopes and should not be added together as a total.

Use the dates to judge whether demand appears consistent, seasonal or concentrated in a short period.

Expand the topic with related keywords

Once you have a relevant seed, request related terms:

Retrieve related Bing keywords for “GA4 audit checklist” for my selected country, language and reporting period. Group them by search intent. Keep each keyword’s reported impressions visible. Identify terms that could support the same page and terms that appear to need a separate page.

The related-keyword operation reports aggregate figures for the requested period. Label that period clearly when comparing candidates.

The assistant’s grouping is an interpretation of the keywords. Review it against what the searcher is trying to accomplish.

For example, instructions for completing an audit and a comparison of audit tools may require different pages, even though they share vocabulary.

Decide whether to update a page or write a new one

Before creating a new article, review your existing content and Bing page statistics.

Ask:

Compare these keyword groups with our existing articles and product pages. Recommend an update where a page already answers the same intent. Suggest a new page where the intent is distinct. Explain how each recommendation relates to our product.

Bing query statistics and page statistics are separate reports in SourcetoMCP. They do not establish an exact query-to-page relationship by themselves.

Treat a proposed page match as something to verify by inspecting the content and search results.

Your content plan should record the target query, supporting terms, evidence of demand, existing page if relevant and the product action the reader could reasonably take.

Make the page useful for search and AI answers

Give the reader a direct answer near the beginning. Follow it with the process, a worked example and clear definitions for the figures you use.

For a research article, that means identifying the search engine, country, language and date range. For a comparison, it means explaining the practical differences that affect someone’s decision.

Those details make the content easier to interpret and reference. They do not guarantee inclusion in an AI answer, and Bing keyword impressions do not measure AI citations.

Is Bing Webmaster Tools the same as Microsoft Advertising Keyword Planner?

They are separate products with different reporting purposes. This workflow uses Bing Webmaster Tools operations available through SourcetoMCP.

It does not provide Microsoft Advertising Keyword Planner’s paid-search forecasts or bid estimates.

Start with the data you already have. Connect Bing Webmaster Tools to SourcetoMCP, identify a relevant query with existing impressions and investigate the page that could serve it better.
