- ✗

- ✗
Share of voice in AI answers
Are you winning or losing in AI search? No visibility

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Google Analytics and xSeek Performance?
Google Analytics tracks user sessions via JavaScript. AI bots don't run JavaScript—so GA4 misses 100% of AI crawler traffic.
xSeek combines your GSC and GA4 data with server-side AI bot detection. You see Google impressions next to AI impressions. Google clicks next to LLM referrals. The complete picture.
What are AI impressions?
AI impressions count how many times AI bots (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) crawled your content. Google impressions show search result appearances. AI impressions show when AI systems read your pages to potentially cite them.
Different metric. Different discovery channel. Both matter.
What are LLM referrals?
When ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude includes a link to your site in their answer—and someone clicks it—that's an LLM referral. It's the AI equivalent of a Google click.
xSeek tracks these via your Google Analytics 4 integration. No extra code needed.
How do I connect Google Search Console and Analytics?
One-click OAuth. Sign in with Google. Authorize access. Done.
No code changes. No developer time. Setup takes under 60 seconds.
How much AI traffic should I expect?
Varies by industry, but AI chatbot traffic doubled in the past year. Some businesses now see 10-20% of their discovery coming from AI instead of Google.
The Performance dashboard shows you exactly where you stand—and whether that number is growing.
Why is xSeek the best platform to compare AEO and SEO?
xSeek is the only platform that puts AI traffic and Google traffic on the same dashboard. AI impressions next to Google impressions. LLM referrals next to organic clicks.
Same time period. Same charts. No switching between tools. One view to understand how your AEO and SEO strategies compare.
See the shift. Track what matters.
Google Analytics shows you the past. xSeek Performance shows you the future. Compare them side-by-side and know exactly where your traffic is going.
