<p>Search is moving inside AI assistants. When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or Google’s AI a question, those assistants quietly fetch real web pages — and <strong>those fetches are the new impressions</strong>. Most analytics tools never show them, because AI crawlers don’t run JavaScript and don’t appear in client-side analytics.</p>
<p><strong>Aiso AI Crawler Analytics reads the requests that actually hit your server</strong> and turns them into a clean, agency-ready dashboard right inside wp-admin. Think of it as the “AI visibility” companion to your security log — focused entirely on AI search performance instead of threats.</p>
<h4>What you get</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Headline KPIs</strong> — total AI-crawler hits, “chat impressions” (live fetches during AI answers), distinct crawlers, and pages crawled.</li>
<li><strong>By AI platform</strong> — ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Perplexity, Google/Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI and more.</li>
<li><strong>By crawler / user-agent</strong> — the exact bots (GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot, Googlebot, Bingbot, Bytespider, Applebot…).</li>
<li><strong>By purpose</strong> — training vs. citation-indexing vs. <strong>live chat impressions</strong> vs. search vs. agentic browsing, so you know whether a bot is just training a model or actively quoting you in an answer.</li>
<li><strong>By page</strong> — which URLs AI assistants read most, with per-page impression counts.</li>
<li><strong>Over time</strong> — a daily activity chart so you can see trends and spikes.</li>
<li><strong>Live hit log</strong> — recent crawler visits with country and a source-IP verification badge that flags possible spoofed user-agents.</li>
<li><strong>CSV export</strong> — hand clients a report in one click.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Built for agencies</h4>
<p>Connect the plugin to a free Aiso account and every site you manage reports into one central place, so your AI-visibility data is kept long-term and viewable across your whole portfolio. Not an agency? The plugin works completely on its own — install it and the dashboard fills up locally with <strong>nothing sent anywhere</strong>.</p>
<h4>Privacy-first</h4>
<p>Visitor IPs are anonymised by default (stored only as a salted hash). The plugin records AI-crawler requests, not your human visitors, and never transmits any data externally until you explicitly connect an Aiso account.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the Aiso API (https://www.getaiso.com) <strong>only when you enable syncing by connecting an account</strong>. It is used to (a) optionally generate an API key for your site and (b) store your AI-crawler hits centrally so they are retained long-term and can be viewed across multiple sites.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>When data is sent:</strong> only while “Send data to Aiso” is enabled in Settings, and only for AI-crawler hits (not human visitors).</li>
<li><strong>What is sent:</strong> the requested path and URL, the crawler’s user-agent, the detected bot and company, an optionally-hashed source IP, a two-letter country code, the HTTP status, a timestamp, your site URL, and your Aiso API key.</li>
<li><strong>What is not sent:</strong> human-visitor analytics, post content, or personal data of your readers.</li>
</ul>
<p>By connecting an account you agree to Aiso’s terms and privacy policy:</p>
<ul>
<li>Terms: https://www.getaiso.com/quick_links/terms_of_service</li>
<li>Privacy policy: https://www.getaiso.com/quick_links/privacy_policy</li>
</ul>
<p>If you never connect an account, the plugin makes no external requests and stores all data locally on your own server.</p>

<p>This plugin adds lines to the virtual robots.txt file (that WordPress creates automagically if the file is not present physically on the server) to block the archive.org bots.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Please be aware of what this plugin does exactly: If you activate the plugin it will add some lines to the robots.txt file to tell the <a href="https://archive.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">Archive.org bots</a> <strong>not to crawl and index</strong> your page. This means that they won’t store a backup of your site and you won’t be able to browse the different versions of the website through time.</p>
<p>Please keep in mind that if you activate this plugin and your site is deleted from the archive.org index, you can’t undo this. If you remove the plugin and the block of the archive.org bot, they’ll start again crawling and indexing the website from that moment, but all the older information is lost. <strong>Be carefull and think if this is what you want to do!</strong>. If you mess it nobody will not be able to help you (neither we or archive.org).</p>
