Why Track AI Agents?
AI platforms are increasingly important traffic sources for organic growth, however content ingestion by AI platforms differs signficantly from Google search:
- AI bots & agents regularly visit websites to collect, update, and verify information not only for the training of LLMs, but also to power real-time AI search and live answers.
- This crawling behavior determines which content is available and ingested into AI chat assistants and how your brand and products are represented in AI-generated responses.
- Importantly, AI bots behave differently than the Google web crawler. Most do not run JavaScript or maintain cookies or session state. If your site is JS heavy or not server-side rendered then there’s a risk that your content is not being ingested correctly.
Understanding which AI agents, bots & crawlers visit your site helps you:
- Identify technical blockers e.g. Javascript heavy pages limiting the ingestion of your content into AI models and apps.
- Discover what topics real ChatGPT users are prompting for in real time via “User Initiated” agents.
- Understand the whole AI discovery journey: from bot content ingestion to human visits and conversions.
