About this plugin
AI SEO and AI visibility analytics for WordPress. See your AI search visibility — which AI tools crawl, cite, and send visitors to your site — and whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude actually surface your content. ”
This plugin sends two things to your SourceWatch dashboard:
- AI bot crawls — when ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, Claude and others fetch your pages.
- AI referrals — when a real person clicks through to your site from an AI tool.
It uses two complementary beacons so it works even when your site is cached:
- An in-page script (your Public Key) captures human visitors from AI tools right in
the browser — so it keeps working even when pages are served from a cache/CDN (where
server-side code never runs).
- A server-side beacon (your Site Key) captures AI bot crawls, which can’t be seen in
the browser because bots don’t run JavaScript.
Neither adds page-load delay, and if SourceWatch is ever unreachable your site loads exactly
as before. The destination endpoint is fixed inside the plugin, so it can never be
repointed to send your data elsewhere.
External service
ai), a third-party
service that turns the data below into your AI-visibility analytics dashboard. The plugin
does nothing until you install it and add your keys, and you can pause it at any time.
What is sent, and when:
- On front-end page views: the page URL, the referring URL, the visitor’s IP address and
ai/api/track/ai.
- From Settings → SourceWatch when you click “Check capture”: your keys and this site’s
ai/api/track/ai/status to confirm setup.
Your use of the SourceWatch service is governed by its policies:
