Worth your time

There is something real in it. It may still carry a wrong number, and the note says so.

The clip

Get Your Website Indexed on Bing to Appear in ChatGPT If your site isn’t indexed on Bing, it won’t show up in ChatGPT’s answers when users search for information. This is part of AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)—optimizing for AI-driven search results. To ensure your site is discoverable, submit it to Bing Webmaster Tools and request indexing. Since Bing powers ChatGPT’s web browsing, this step is essential for increasing visibility beyond Google in AI-driven search. #ChatGPT #AEO #Bing #seo #AnswerEngineOptimization #BingSEO
The caption, as Josh Maraney | SEO Google Ads wrote it on TikTok

It plays from TikTok, not from here. Nothing loads from them until you press the button, so reading this page sends them nothing.

Why it is graded that way

The step is right: add your site to Bing Webmaster Tools, which can import it straight from Search Console. The reason given is half right. The clip says Bing powers ChatGPT’s browsing, so a site missing from Bing will not show up. ChatGPT leaned on Bing’s index for years, but OpenAI now runs its own crawler too. Do it anyway, because it is cheap. Whether IndexNow gets pages in faster is one of the Lab’s running tests.

Checked against the original clip and, where it makes a factual claim, against whatever that claim leans on. If I have this wrong, tell me and I will fix the row and say what changed.
