Signal
Track AI-answer presence, not just referrals
Beyond referral traffic, you track whether each engine names or links your store for your top category queries, since answer-presence is the leading indicator of whether you're even in the consideration set.
Per-platform status
Where a platform documents relevant behavior, its status and source are shown. Undocumented platforms show "unknown" - honest unknowns, never invented.
| Platform | Status | Notes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Unknown | Not documented by this platform. | - |
| Gemini / Google AI Mode | Unknown | Not documented by this platform. | - |
| Perplexity | Unknown | Not documented by this platform. | - |
| Copilot | Unknown | Not documented by this platform. | - |
| Claude | Unknown | Not documented by this platform. | - |

How to act on this
For each top category query, log whether every engine names or links your store, tracked over time and separately from referral clicks.

Discovery-stage measurement (whether engines name you at all), distinct from the choice-stage agent win rate.
