Bing Joins New Era of Legal Search with Generative AI

Bing’s Generative Search Experience

Bing, Microsoft’s search engine, is exploring new horizons with the integration of generative AI. Generative Search Experience (GSE) is Bing’s version of Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE). This technology promises to revolutionize how search results are delivered, offering users more detailed and contextually relevant information. By enhancing the search experience with AI-generated answers, Bing aims to make finding information more intuitive and efficient. Bing is gradually rolling out this update, taking time to gather feedback, test, and learn, before making it more broadly available.

New Generative Features

Bing’s new generative AI feature is designed to provide users with more comprehensive responses to their queries. Instead of merely presenting a list of links and snippets, this AI-driven approach generates detailed answers tailored to the user’s specific needs. This feature aims to enhance the search experience by offering more informative and context-rich results, helping users find the exact information they are looking for with greater ease and accuracy.

Microsoft explained that “By combining the power of generative AI and large language models (LLMs) with the search results page, Bing’s generative search creates a bespoke and dynamic response to a user’s query.”

Enhanced Search Results

The integration of GSE into Bing’s search results means users can expect a richer, more informative experience. This enhancement goes beyond traditional search listings, providing summaries, suggestions, and comprehensive answers that offer greater context and depth. Users will receive more complete explanations and relevant information, improving their ability to find and understand the content they need.

It looks like this:

User Experience Improvements

Bing’s generative search aims to make user interactions more conversational and intuitive. By using AI, the search engine can understand and respond to queries in a more natural manner, closely mimicking human conversation. This shift has the potential to significantly change how users engage with search engines, making the process more seamless and user-friendly.

How Your Law Firm Can Benefit

The advancements in Bing’s generative AI offer a significant opportunity for legal marketing. Firstly, attorneys now have a new placement where their website can appear in Bing search when the GSE is fully rolled out. This new visibility can be used by law firms to improve their client acquisition strategies. We recommend applying the same optimizations to clients’ websites for Bing as we do for Google’s Search Generative Experience. This dual optimization ensures that law firms benefit from increased visibility and traffic on both platforms.

Secondly, the actionable steps listed in our blog post about Google’s introduction to generative Ai, apply here as well.  Increasing Bing SEO and PPC budgets is a strategic move aimed at securing placements that could see heightened traffic as Bing rolls out the update, attracting more users eager to test the new capabilities themselves.
