AI crawler traffic analytics
See the AI crawler traffic Google Analytics can't

“A genuinely free, zero-code way to see AI crawler activity that JavaScript analytics tools structurally cannot capture — useful as a first look at your GEO footprint. But it currently tracks bot hits, not whether you're actually cited or mentioned in AI answers, and it exists mainly to funnel you into Writesonic's paid GEO platform.”
Skip it ifYou aren't on Cloudflare (the only supported integration today), or you need full AI-visibility metrics like citations, share of voice, and answer-level mentions rather than raw crawler hit logs.
What it is
AI Traffic Analytics is a free tool from Writesonic that surfaces how AI systems crawl your website. Because tools like Google Analytics depend on client-side JavaScript that most bots never run, visits from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, DeepSeek, and Meta's Llama crawlers are effectively invisible in conventional analytics. This product reads request data at the server level to make that AI crawler traffic visible.
Setup is deliberately lightweight: rather than injecting a page tag, it connects through a Cloudflare integration, so any site fronted by Cloudflare can enable it in minutes with no code changes and no performance hit. The dashboard reports total AI visits segmented by platform, which pages crawlers hit most, top AI sources, and visit trends over time — a straightforward crawler-activity view aimed at content and SEO teams starting to think about generative engine optimization.
The honest framing is that this is a narrow, early-stage utility and a funnel into Writesonic's paid GEO suite. It tells you that AI bots visited and what they read, but not the higher-value questions — whether your brand is actually cited, mentioned, or winning share of voice inside AI answers. For that, Writesonic steers you toward its paid Brand Radar and GEO products. As a free first look at your AI-crawler footprint it is genuinely useful; as a complete AI-visibility solution it is only a starting point, and its Cloudflare-only requirement and public-beta status are real constraints.

Questions people ask
Is AI Traffic Analytics really free?
Yes. It is offered free in public beta with no credit card required. It functions as a free entry point into Writesonic's broader paid GEO (generative engine optimization) platform.
Do I need to add code to my website?
No. It works at the server level through a Cloudflare integration, so there are no JavaScript tags or page-level snippets to install, and there is no impact on site performance.
Does it work if I don't use Cloudflare?
Not yet. Cloudflare is currently the only supported integration. Writesonic has said WordPress, Vercel, AWS, and direct server integrations are planned but not yet available.
How is this different from Google Analytics?
Google Analytics relies on client-side JavaScript, which most AI crawlers never execute, so bot visits are invisible there. This tool reads server-level requests, capturing AI crawler activity that GA structurally misses.
