Pierview Agent Analytics

Pierview Agent Analytics helps you measure AI search visibility by tracking visits from AI search platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. As these systems crawl websites to generate answers for their users, this plugin detects their visits and reports them to your Pierview dashboard, showing which AI systems are reading your content, how often, and which pages they visit.

Gain the insights you need to improve your AI Search performance through robust AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) capabilities.

Key Features

• Named bot identification: distinguishes between 25+ AI agents including ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, Bing, and more

• Zero performance impact: detection and reporting use a non-blocking background request that adds no latency to page loads

• Privacy controls: redact sensitive query parameters and exclude specific URL path prefixes from being tracked

• No database tables: lightweight footprint, clean uninstall

• Test connection: verify your API key and endpoint are working from the settings page

• Enable/disable without deactivating: pause tracking at any time from the General settings tab

How It Works

• On each front-end request, the plugin reads the incoming User-Agent header

• It checks the User-Agent against a list of 25+ known AI agent patterns

• If a match is found, a non-blocking HTTP POST is sent to the Pierview platform in the background

• The event appears in your Pierview dashboard with agent name, page path, and timestamp

• Regular human visitors and WordPress admin traffic are never tracked

Supported AI Agents

• ChatGPT / OpenAI: GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot

Privacy & Security

• AI traffic only: only requests from known AI agent User-Agents are reported, regular visitors are never tracked

• Admin traffic excluded: wp-admin, wp-login.php, REST API, and feed requests are always skipped

• Query parameter redaction: strip sensitive parameters (e.g. token, session_id ) from paths before they leave your server

• Path exclusions: exclude entire sections of your site (e.g. /checkout/, /members/ ) from tracking

• Nonce-protected admin: all admin actions use WordPress nonces and capability checks

• No client-side tracking: server-side only, no cookies, no JavaScript injected into your pages

External Services

This plugin transmits data to the Pierview analytics service when a known AI agent bot is detected visiting your site. No data is sent for regular human visitors.

The following data is sent on each detected bot visit: the bot’s User-Agent string, normalized agent name, your site’s hostname, the request path, HTTP method, HTTP referer header, the visitor’s IP address, and a UTC timestamp.

Data is only transmitted when:

* The plugin is enabled (via the “Enable Tracking” setting)

* A request matches a known AI agent User-Agent pattern

* A valid API key is configured
