Most numbers about AI visibility are network totals, and a network total hides the only thing worth knowing. So we counted ours the other way. Every single page on this fourteen-site network that Bing recorded as cited by Copilot over the ninety days to 22 August, one at a time, each with its own count.
There are 1,001 of them, and together they carry 737,197 citations.
The boring part first, because it belongs in the body
This is the page-level figure. Bing's property-level endpoint reports 768,234 for the same window, a 4.0% gap that is negative on all fourteen properties. Both are correct and they measure different things: pages under Bing's reporting threshold land in the property total but never appear as rows. Page level is the floor, and the floor is the number I am using.
This is Copilot only, because Bing is the one engine that publishes per-property citation counts at all. Citations are not clicks. And two of the fourteen properties recorded zero citations for nine and sixty-one consecutive days respectively, and are sitting inside that total, which makes the ninety-day window a reservoir rather than a rate.
The density is 736 citations per cited page
That average is nearly useless, and watching it fall apart is the actual finding.
The top page took 21,685 citations. One address, edubracket.com/articles/best-free-online-courses-2026, cited roughly 241 times a day, every day, for three months. The median cited page took 95. The top page is 228 times the median, inside one network running one architecture.
| slice | citations | share of network |
|---|---|---|
| top 1 page | 21,685 | 2.9% |
| top 10 pages | 138,441 | 18.8% |
| top 50 pages | 369,643 | 50.1% |
| top 100 pages | 498,638 | 67.6% |
| top 200 pages | 627,315 | 85.1% |
| all 1,001 | 737,197 | 100% |
Half of everything this network is cited for lives on fifty addresses.
What the top pages have in common
It is structural rather than magical. They are answer-shaped: roundups and tools pointed at questions people are actually asking, in verticals where somebody is asking constantly. Best free online courses. A formulary checker. Small business grants. Prescription discount cards. They are not our cleverest pages and several of them are not our longest. They are the ones that sit exactly where a question lands.
I am not going to tell you what that is worth as a percentage lift, because I do not have a before-and-after instrument and anybody quoting you one does not either. What I can tell you is what was measured, on what, over what window, with which endpoint.
The open question
If half a network's citations live on fifty addresses, then buying a site is a strange way to buy anything. The page is the asset. The site is just where it happens to live.
A note for anyone who wants to be inside one of those pages
We know which fifty. We have the per-URL table, refreshed weekly, with a trajectory on every row.
Our sites name real products in real roundups, and some of those slots are commercial. If you would like to talk about your product being one of the things named on a page that is already being cited at this density, we are easy to reach, and we will tell you exactly what a given page is doing before you decide anything.
