Does a Bing Places listing help your AI visibility?

This one is more direct than most. Several major assistants — Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT web search among them — retrieve against Bing index, so your presence in the Bing ecosystem feeds the engines people actually ask. A complete, verified Bing Places for Business listing gives those systems a consistent, authoritative record of your name, address, categories and hours, which is exactly the local-entity data an assistant needs to recommend you with confidence. Most businesses obsess over Google and never claim their Bing listing, which makes this an easy, high-leverage gap to close — pair it with Bing Webmaster Tools so your site itself is well understood by the same index.
