AI crawlers and AI visitors

Citations sit in the middle of the story. AI crawlers and AI visitors show either side of it: engines reading your pages, and people clicking through from AI answers. Both are under Analytics and available on Pro and Growth.

AI crawlers

Which of your pages ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini read, and whether they can find the rest. Data comes from Cloudflare, updated hourly, or from the GetIntel server script, updated every few minutes.

• Per engine: times cited, the trend, pages indexed and when a page was last indexed. Gemini uses Google’s index, so it is shown that way.
• Times AI cited your pages over the period.
• Compared with the previous period: Newly cited, Cited more, Cited less and No longer cited.
• Pages and Bots tables. Bots are labelled Citing (fetching a page live to answer someone) or Indexing (saving pages for later).

Only verified bots are counted: each hit is checked against the vendor’s published IP ranges. Training bots, Google and Bing search crawlers, and impostors are left out.

AI visitors

People who arrive from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Copilot, and where they land.

• Visitors from AI, the trend and the last visit, charted per assistant.
• Landing pages and By assistant tables.

Caution

AI visitors reads from the GetIntel visitor tag or Google Analytics 4. The Google Analytics connection is still rolling out; until it’s available for your account, use the visitor tag.
