How does Scrunch track AI search visits to my website?

  • Also asked as:
  • Does Scrunch track ChatGPT visits to my website?
  • How can I see which AI agents are visiting my site?

Scrunch tracks AI platform visits in two ways: Agent Traffic monitors AI bots crawling your website in real-time and AI Referrals tracks human visitors who arrive from AI platforms.

Additional context: Agent Traffic requires CDN or hosting integration, while AI Referrals connects through Google Analytics 4 to measure actual referral traffic and conversions.
