1. The Missing Piece: Visibility vs. Traffic
Since launching Ayzeo, we've helped thousands of businesses understand their AI Visibility — how often AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity mention or recommend their brand.
But we kept hearing the same question:
"My AI Visibility Score is 45%. That's great — but how many actual visitors am I getting from these AI recommendations?"
It's a fair question. Visibility is important, but traffic is the ultimate proof that your GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) efforts are paying off.
The challenge? AI-referred traffic is scattered across different referrer patterns in Google Analytics:

Finding and aggregating this data manually is tedious. Most marketers don't even know to look for it.
That's why we built Google Analytics Integration.
2. Introducing Google Analytics Integration
The new Google Analytics Integration connects your GA4 property directly to Ayzeo. We automatically fetch, classify, and aggregate traffic from AI sources — giving you a clear picture of how AI recommendations translate to real website visitors.

7. AI Traffic in White-Label Reports
If you use Ayzeo's white-label PDF reports, AI traffic data is automatically included when GA is connected.
The report now features:
- AI Traffic Performance section — Key metrics and source breakdown
- AI source table with logos — Sessions, bounce rate, duration per platform
- Engagement comparison — AI vs. other traffic quality
- 30-day trend chart — Visual of AI traffic over time
- Enhanced Executive Summary — AI Traffic added as a KPI
- Visibility-to-Traffic insight — Correlation analysis
This makes your reports more compelling for clients by showing both visibility (AI mentions your brand) and results (real visitors from those mentions).
8. Visibility-to-Traffic Correlation
One of the most powerful features is the Visibility-to-Traffic Correlation insight. This connects two data points:
Insight: Your brand appears in 45% of relevant AI prompts, generating 1,247 verified website visits from AI sources. That's a 2.8% click-through rate from visibility to traffic.
This insight helps you understand:
- Is your visibility translating to actual traffic?
- Are users clicking through when AI mentions you?
- How effective is your call-to-action in AI responses?
If visibility is high but traffic is low, it might indicate that AI is mentioning you but not linking directly. Focus on content with clear URLs and strong calls-to-action.
9. Privacy & Security
We take data security seriously:
-
Read-Only Access
Ayzeo only reads aggregated traffic data. We cannot modify your GA settings or access personal user information.
-
Encrypted Storage
OAuth tokens are encrypted using AES-256-GCM before storage.
-
Aggregated Data Only
We only store daily aggregated snapshots (sessions, users, bounce rate). No individual user data is ever stored.
-
Easy Disconnection
Disconnect anytime from Project Settings. This revokes access and deletes stored tokens.
