1. Start with the pages that were cited
Bing Webmaster Tools describes AI Performance metrics including total citations over a period, cited pages, and some query phrase data. If citations of the clinic hours page rose, start by checking the exact URL and the information displayed on it.
The citation count may include repeated citations of the same page. Citation totals alone cannot tell you recommendation order, actual patient visits, or bookings. Record the time period and the services covered by the tool.
2. Check whether visitors can see what to do next
Review visits and inquiry actions you can verify in your own site analytics. Open the cited page on a phone and check whether it offers a working link to call, book, or get directions. Separate clicks on a booking button from completed bookings so your report makes clear what you measured.
Depending on what your analytics tool collects, you may not be able to classify every visit by source. Set a comparison period and record observed changes and gaps within the scope of each data source.
3. Add direct observations from the same prompts
Prompts with different reasons for seeking a visit are difficult to compare in one figure. Choose several representative prompts and repeat them under the same conditions, saving the answers that mention the clinic or cite a source. Reporting aggregate citation counts alongside direct observations preserves the evidence for later review.
