AI search analytics · GFD ONE module
AI search analytics that show what AI answers send you
AI search analytics measures what AI answers do for your business: visits from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and other assistants, how often the engines name you, and the revenue those visits bring, page by page. We set up the AI channel in GA4, monitor AI crawler access and visibility, and put it on one board finance can trust.

In short
Analytics is a module in a GFD ONE plan, sized to your stage and scope on a 20-minute teardown.
What's included
What's included
- An AI channel in GA4 that groups visits from AI assistants, kept current as new ones appear
- AI crawler access monitored at the CDN and firewall, as well as in robots.txt
- AI visibility tracked on your prompt panel
- Revenue by page for the pages we run, in the monthly report
Why now
Why it matters
Without a channel of their own, AI visits are mixed into your other channels, and many arrive with no referrer at all: Profound's 2026 panel study found that most visits following a ChatGPT answer carried no AI referral tag. So the channel looks smaller than it is, and nobody can say which pages it pays for. Once the channel exists, every other decision about AI search has a number behind it.
Crawler access matters too. OpenAI says sites that opt out of OAI-SearchBot are not shown in ChatGPT search answers, and a block at the CDN can do the same thing whatever robots.txt says.

How it starts
The analytics check inside the AI Visibility Blueprint finds the gaps first: missing channel rules, blocked crawlers, broken events. The module then keeps the setup clean every month.

Questions buyers ask
How do I track AI traffic in GA4?
Create a custom channel group with a rule that matches the referrers of AI assistants, such as chatgpt.com, gemini.google.com and claude.ai, and place it above Referral. Then keep the list current as new assistants appear. We build and maintain it for you.
Can you see traffic from Google's AI Overviews?
Not in GA4: clicks from AI Overviews arrive as organic search. Google's AI search guide points to a generative AI performance report in Search Console, which we read where your property has it. We also track AI Overview visibility on your prompt panel and report it next to organic clicks.
How do you measure AI visibility?
We run your prompt panel on the AI engines again and again and report how often each one names or cites you, as a share with the number of answers behind it and the dates. One answer proves little, because AI answers change from run to run.
Can AI search analytics show revenue?
Yes, where GA4 records your conversions or revenue: the AI channel carries them like any other channel, and the monthly report shows them by page for the pages we run. Visits with no AI referrer still land in Direct, so read the AI number as a floor.
Do you need admin access to GA4?
Editor access is enough to build the channel. If you prefer not to share access, we can work from exported reports, with less detail.
How much does AI search analytics cost?
Analytics is a module inside a GFD ONE plan, sized to your stage and scope on a 20-minute teardown, with a three-month minimum.
