Yesterday, Fabrice Canel from Microsoft Bing announced at PubCon that Bing Webmaster Tools would get two new features. First is the Bing Chat integration, and the second is the index coverage report.

The Bing Chat integration, where the Bing Webmaster Tools performance report will allow you to see impressions, click, click-through rates, and more from Bing Chat will be fantastic. It is something we’ve asked for from Google and Bing, that to alleviate publisher and site owner concerns; show us the data. Show us if people are clicking from the Bing Chat or Bard features to our sites.

So supposedly, this is coming to Bing Webmaster Tools, here is a screenshot from Twitter:

Here is more coverage from Twitter of this announcement:

Index coverage is coming to Bing Webmaster Tools to show how well your sites being indexed. I am surprised it wasn’t there already but now it is here or coming really soon.
