When we used AISO Studio on our own website, Microsoft Copilot cited aiso.studio 13,854 times between 29 July and 27 October 2026, across 144 different questions.
The result also included a sharp drop on two articles and a rewrite that backfired. We cover all of it below, with the numbers from our own Bing Webmaster Tools. We do not promise that any site will get cited.
What We Did on aiso.studio
AISO Studio wrote the articles on aiso.studio. We ran our own site on the same platform we sell to agencies, and 81 articles have been published since 1 January 2026. Every factual claim in generated content is fact-checked, and sentences that claim evidence without naming a source are reported.
Why we tested our own site first
An agency should not buy a tool its maker will not use. We have no customer case studies to show yet. We have our own site, so we used it as the test.
How the articles were built
Each article is grounded in verified facts about the business it is written for. Article generation draws only from those facts. That keeps claims tied to things we can check.
What Bing Showed
These figures come from Bing Webmaster Tools, which reports when Microsoft Copilot cites a site. They are our own measurements, and you can check the same reports for any site you manage.
- 13,854 Microsoft Copilot citations of aiso.studio between 29 July and 27 October 2026
- 144 different questions cited
- By month: August 5,545, September 7,072, October 1,225 (through 27 October)
- 81 articles published since 1 January 2026
In the 30 days to 21 October, 95% of citations went to articles that had an AISO Studio draft on record.
Regular Bing search barely moved
Copilot citations and regular search were very different. Regular Bing search sent only 3 clicks from 321 impressions. For us, AI-engine citations were far ahead of classic search traffic.
The direction of the trend
Citations did not keep climbing. October's figure covers only through 27 October and is well below September. We are not claiming citations are still growing.
A citation is a trust decision made by an AI engine. You can earn one, but you cannot buy or guarantee one.
Which Questions We Were Cited For
The top question was "how to get content indexed by AI search engines." It drew about 4,200 citations and a 21.66% citation share in the 30 days to 21 October.
Copilot cited us mostly on questions about AI search visibility and content accuracy. Those are the topics our articles cover most closely. This fits how the platform works. Factual accuracy is the primary dimension in AISO scoring, and AI engines cite sources they can trust.
What Went Wrong
Two things went wrong. Two articles stopped being cited on 29 September, and a regeneration in August taught us a lesson about changing pages that already worked.
The 29 September drop
Two articles stopped being cited on 29 September. The first went from about 173 citations a day to about 2. The second went from about 39 a day to about 4. Other articles rose over the same period, so the drop was not site-wide.
We do not have a single proven cause for the 29 September drop, and we will not invent one. Both dropped articles were refreshed on 30 October. Results are not in yet.
The 29 August regeneration lesson
On 29 August we regenerated our ChatGPT-sources article. The new version moved off the questions the original had been cited for, and its citations went to zero. We restored the original on 22 October.
The lesson: a rewrite is a change, and every change carries risk. Check what a page already earns before you rewrite it, then check again afterward.
What We Changed
We changed our process rather than chase the drop blindly. This is the order we now follow:
- Check which pages Copilot cites, and for which questions, before editing anything.
- Find the specific weakness on each page.
- Run a selective rewrite that targets that weakness only.
- Re-check the claims, sources, and cited questions after the change.
This matches the automated selective rewriting passes in the platform. A selective rewriting pass is a targeted edit that fixes one named weakness and leaves the rest of the page alone.
What an Agency Can Take From This
If you add AI-search visibility as a service line, plan for movement. Citations can rise and fall, and individual articles can lose them overnight. Here is what to apply:
- Write articles grounded in verified client facts.
- Name a source for every evidence claim.
- Record which pages get cited, and for which questions, before you edit them.
- Rewrite one weakness at a time.
- Keep the original so you can restore it.
- Tell clients that citations are never guaranteed.
Run more clients with the team you have
The platform covers scoring, fact-checking, article generation, WordPress publishing, and white-label reports. One team can run many client workspaces.
