AI Visits counts the AI crawlers that read your site and the visitors who arrive from links in AI assistants' answers.
Crawler visits are identified by user agents such as OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot or ClaudeBot. Referred visits are identified by referrers such as chatgpt.com or perplexity.ai.
Crawler visits are an early signal: a page has to be crawled before it can be cited. Referred visits show the recommendations turning into traffic.
