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 those fetches are the new impressions. Most analytics tools never show them, because AI crawlers don’t run JavaScript and don’t appear in client-side analytics.
Aiso AI Crawler Analytics reads the requests that actually hit your server 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.
<h4>What you get</h4>
<ul>
<li>Headline KPIs — total AI-crawler hits, “chat impressions” (live fetches during AI answers), distinct crawlers, and pages crawled.</li>
<li>By AI platform — ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Perplexity, Google/Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI and more.</li>
<li>By crawler / user-agent — the exact bots (GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot, Googlebot, Bingbot, Bytespider, Applebot…).</li>
<li>By purpose — training vs. citation-indexing vs. live chat impressions 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>By page — which URLs AI assistants read most, with per-page impression counts.</li>
<li>Over time — a daily activity chart so you can see trends and spikes.</li>
<li>Live hit log — recent crawler visits with country and a source-IP verification badge that flags possible spoofed user-agents.</li>
<li>CSV export — hand clients a report in one click.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Built for agencies</h4>
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 nothing sent anywhere.
<h4>Privacy-first</h4>
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.
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the Aiso API (https://www.getaiso.com) only when you enable syncing by connecting an account. 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.
<ul>
<li>When data is sent: only while “Send data to Aiso” is enabled in Settings, and only for AI-crawler hits (not human visitors).</li>
<li>What is sent: 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>What is not sent: human-visitor analytics, post content, or personal data of your readers.</li>
</ul>
By connecting an account you agree to Aiso’s terms and privacy policy:
<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>
If you never connect an account, the plugin makes no external requests and stores all data locally on your own server.

See which AI assistants — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google and more — crawl your site, broken down by assistant, crawler, purpose and page.

OtterFixer

OtterFixer AI Bot Tracker logs front-end requests that match common AI/LLM crawler user-agents such as: 
– GPTBot 
– ChatGPT-User 
– ClaudeBot 
– PerplexityBot 
– Google-Extended
It is designed to be simple and honest: 
– No ads 
– No bloat 
– No tracking of real visitors
Important: The plugin only logs requests that match known bot user-agent patterns. If a real visitor spoofs a bot user-agent, they could be logged as well.
What is stored: 
– UTC time 
– Bot name 
– Page path 
– Anonymised IP (IPv4 last octet is zeroed, IPv6 is shortened) 
– Full user-agent string
Nothing is sent anywhere. Data stays in your WordPress database.
Where to find it: 
Tools → OtterFixer AI Bot Tracker
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>Visit Tools → AI Bot Tracker.</li>
<li>Leave it running and check back whenever you want.</li>
<li>When AI bots visit your site, you will see totals, a breakdown by bot, and the most recent hits.</li>
</ol>
Tip: If you have zero hits, it usually just means no matching crawler has visited yet.
<h3>How can I test it?</h3>
You can simulate a bot hit by loading any front-end URL with a matching user-agent.
Example (replace YOUR-SITE-URL with your home page URL):
curl -A “GPTBot” “YOUR-SITE-URL”
