AI is sending you traffic your analytics can't see.
Confirmed referrals from named AI platforms, plus a visible, adjustable estimate of the AI-influenced visits that arrive with no referrer at all — and what both are worth.
The problem
Many AI-referred visits arrive with the referrer stripped, so they land in analytics as direct. The channel that is growing fastest is the one your reporting is least able to see.

How it works
What it measures, what comes out, and why the number can be trusted.
- 01
Start with what is certain
Visits that arrive with a recognisable AI referrer are counted as exactly that. This is the floor, and it is measured, not modelled.
- 02
Then estimate the rest, in the open
The remainder is estimated from a baseline you can see and a calibration you can change. RankSage shows you the inputs rather than handing you a number and asking for trust.
- 03
Quality-adjusted, not just counted
AI-referred visits behave differently once they land. The traffic figure is weighted by that behaviour, so a thousand bouncing visits do not read the same as a thousand engaged ones.
- 04
Turned into money
With your conversion rate and order value, the estimate becomes a revenue figure — the version of this number that survives a conversation with a finance team.
What it does not do
- The estimated portion is an estimate. It is labelled as one everywhere it appears, and you can set the calibration to zero if you would rather only see confirmed referrals.
- It cannot attribute a visit to a specific AI conversation. Nobody can — that data is not exposed by any provider.
- Revenue figures are only as good as the conversion rate and order value you enter.

Questions
How do I track traffic from ChatGPT in Google Analytics?
Visits that arrive with a recognisable AI referrer can be isolated in GA4, and RankSage does that automatically across the known AI platforms. The larger problem is the visits that arrive with no referrer at all, which is what the attribution model estimates separately.
Why does AI traffic show up as direct?
Several AI interfaces strip the referrer when a user follows a link out. The visit is real, but your analytics has nothing to attribute it to, so it lands in direct alongside bookmarks and typed URLs.
Is the estimate trustworthy?
It is shown as an estimate, with its baseline and calibration visible and adjustable. If you would rather not use it, confirmed referrals are reported on their own.
