Microsoft Copilot
Microsoft Copilot is a generative artificial intelligence assistant developed by Microsoft. It replies to questions in conversation rather than returning a list of links, and it has no business profile or claim process of its own.
Copilot has no business directory, no claim process, and no profile page a business can edit, so there is nothing on Copilot itself to create or keep current. Microsoft has not published how Copilot sources business specific answers, so Listings API makes no claim about reaching it directly. What the API does control is the citation data on the directories, maps, and aggregators an assistant would draw on when it searches the web.
A few API calls keep that citation record consistent everywhere. Listings API lets you:
- Create a location and publish it to every directory and map on your plan in one call.
- Update the name, category, address, phone, website, or hours everywhere at once instead of editing each citation by hand.
- Track publish status and read each live listing URL to confirm the source data is correct.
What Listings API controls for Microsoft Copilot
One consistent citation record
Name, address, phone, hours, description, and categories are written once and stay identical across every directory, map, and aggregator in your plan, which are the sources Microsoft Copilot draws local business information from. Listings API does not submit to Microsoft Copilot directly, so what you control is the record behind it.
Publish status you can query
Per site publish state and live listing links are readable back through the API for every citation on your plan, so you can confirm the underlying record is live from the response rather than opening each directory.
Typed SDKs + MCP
Node.js and Python SDKs with full types, plus a hosted MCP server so agents and LLM tools can drive the same API.

Microsoft Copilot + Listings API
Can I submit my business to Microsoft Copilot?
No. Copilot is an assistant, not a business directory, and it has no profile or claim flow for a business to submit to. Listings API cannot publish a listing on Copilot because none exists.
How does Copilot get information about a business?
Microsoft has not published how Copilot sources answers about specific businesses. Listings API treats that mechanism as unconfirmed and focuses instead on keeping citation data accurate wherever Copilot might encounter it.
Does updating my Bing listing change what Copilot says about my business?
Possibly, since Bing is one of the sites Listings API can sync and Copilot may reference web results when it browses, but Listings API does not publish to Copilot directly and cannot control what it says. It only keeps the underlying citation data accurate.
How do I correct business details that Copilot might read?
Call updateLocation with the corrected name, address, phone, website, or hours. That single call updates the record across every citation on your plan, including the ones Copilot could pull from if it searches the web, instead of you editing each directory separately.
How long does an update take to publish, and how do I confirm it?
Publishing runs asynchronously and typically clears within a few hours to a few days per citation, depending on the site. Call GET /api/v4/locations/{id}/listings/premium to check the per site publish status and read back the live listing URL once each citation clears.
Do I need a Microsoft account to use Listings API this way?
No. You authenticate with a single Listings API key and never register with Microsoft or sign in through Copilot. Listings API is an independent service and is not affiliated with Microsoft Copilot, so nothing about syncing your citations touches a Microsoft account.
Does Listings API support posts, review replies, or analytics for Copilot?
No. Posts and review replies work only on Google and Facebook through Listings API, and analytics such as views and searches come only from Google, Bing, and Facebook. Copilot itself has no publishing surface for any of these, since it holds no business profile at all.
Which Listings API plan covers keeping data accurate for Copilot?
The Enterprise plan carries the citation sync that assistants like Copilot would read from. Nothing is sold specifically for Copilot, since Copilot has no listing to maintain. What the plan pays for is accuracy across the directories and maps your locations appear on, maintained from a single write.
