AI Referral Traffic & AI Crawler Data

Leadee reads traffic data you already have — Search Console and GA4 through a read-only service account, plus an optional Bing AI Performance export — and counts AI crawler hits from your own server logs. It puts AI referral traffic and crawler activity next to the Visibility Tracker's own measurements, instead of a generic analytics guess.

Is AI traffic actually reaching your site, or is it just a guess?

Standard analytics tools were not built to separate an AI crawler hit or an AI referral click from everything else. Without connecting the data a company already has — Search Console, GA4, server logs — most teams cannot say whether AI traffic is real or how much of it there is.

How does it work?

  1. Connect your data

    Authorise Leadee's read-only bot service account for Search Console and GA4, or import a Bing AI Performance export (CSV/XLSX) — no OAuth app approval needed for Google.

  2. Import your server logs

    Leadee's log parser counts hits from known AI crawlers (GPTBot, PerplexityBot and others) by page; it discards request IPs while parsing and never stores them.

  3. See it next to your own measurements

    AI referral traffic and crawler activity sit alongside the Visibility Tracker and Citation Graph for the same brand, labelled by source so a GA4 number is never confused with a Leadee measurement.

What you do, what Leadee does

Leadee reads your public pages and reports what it finds — audits, tracking, citation graphs and fix plans. Leadee never changes your website: fixes are done by your own team, or by Leadee Experts on request.

What does it measure?

  • Search Console + GA4

    Connected through Leadee's own bot service account — read-only, no OAuth app review required to get started.

  • Bing AI Performance import

    Upload a CSV or XLSX export from Bing Webmaster Tools to bring in Bing's own AI Performance numbers.

  • AI crawler hits from your logs

    Server/CDN log import counts hits by bot and page — not an estimate.

  • No raw IPs stored

    IP addresses are read only to match a log line against the known-bot list, then discarded — never written to the database, by design, not by redaction.

Questions

Which AI engines does this cover?

Leadee measures ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode today, through their official APIs — never by scraping a consumer chat interface. Google AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot are planned once an official measurement API exists for them.

Does Leadee read my Google Analytics data directly, or do I have to export it?

Search Console and GA4 connect live through Leadee's read-only bot service account. Bing AI Performance has no equivalent API yet, so it is a one-time CSV/XLSX import per period.

Can Google Search Console or GA4 tell me which clicks came from an AI Overview?

Not directly — neither product exposes an "AI Overviews" traffic source today. Leadee shows what each source actually reports (referrer domains such as chatgpt.com or perplexity.ai, and Bing's own AI Performance tab) rather than inferring a number neither vendor publishes.

Do you store visitor IP addresses?

No. The log parser reads an IP only long enough to match it against the known AI-bot list, then discards it — nothing in the AI traffic module ever writes an IP address to the database.

Can GEO guarantee results?

No. AI answer engines change their output frequently, and no vendor — including Leadee — can guarantee a ranking or a mention. Leadee publishes confidence intervals on every metric so you can see how much a result can vary run to run.

How does Leadee measure AI visibility?

Leadee runs your prompt set against each AI engine on a weekly to daily schedule, depending on plan, through official vendor APIs (OpenAI, Gemini, Perplexity, Anthropic, DataForSEO) — never by scraping consumer chat interfaces — and reports mention rate, citation rate, average position, share of voice and sentiment with a 95% confidence interval.
