Does Scrunch track AI referral traffic to my website?

  • Also asked as:
  • Can I see clicks from AI platforms?
  • Does Scrunch integrate with Google Analytics?

Yes, Scrunch tracks AI referral traffic to users’ websites through its AI Referrals feature, which connects to a user's Google Analytics 4 (GA4) account.

Additional context: Scrunch’s AI Referrals feature captures direct clicks from AI platforms, but most AI search impact is indirect—users are more likely to discover brands in AI responses and then search for a brand’s website or visit it directly.
