Why this exists

Most analytics platforms (Google Analytics, Plausible, etc.) lump AI traffic into “direct” or “referral” buckets — they can’t tell you a visitor arrived from ChatGPT vs. perplexity.ai. Ansvisor’s tracking pixel reads the referrer chain, classifies AI sources by domain, and gives you a clean breakdown.

​
Setup

1

Get the snippet

On the AI Traffic Analytics page (/dashboard/traffic), copy the snippet at the top. It looks like:
2

Paste into your site

Add the script before </head> on every page you want to track. For Next.js, drop it in your root layout. For Wordpress, use a header injection plugin. For static sites, edit the template.
3

Wait for first visits

Visits start appearing immediately. The dashboard updates in near-realtime (≤1 minute).

Supported AI sources

Pixel detects and classifies referrers from:
  • ChatGPT (chatgpt.com, chat.openai.com, search.chatgpt.com)
  • Perplexity (perplexity.ai)
  • Claude (claude.ai)
  • Gemini (gemini.google.com)
  • Copilot (copilot.microsoft.com)
  • You.com, Phind, Meta AI, Poe
Anything else falls into unknown — likely a future AI source we haven’t catalogued yet. The list is updated regularly.

​
Privacy

The pixel collects: referrer, URL, country (via IP geolocation), language, screen size, anonymized IP, user agent. It does NOT use cookies, fingerprinting, or any cross-site identifiers. No GDPR consent banner needed in most jurisdictions.

​
Common patterns

  • Spike on a Friday — usually a viral Reddit/Twitter thread that AI engines indexed and started recommending
  • Sudden country shift — Perplexity or Gemini changed regional weighting; not a metric you control
  • Specific page surge — one of your articles is being cited as authoritative; lock it in with internal links to defend
