How do I measure traffic and visibility from AI / LLMs?

Quick answer: Measure AI visibility two ways: track referral traffic from AI tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini) in your analytics, and track whether AI answers mention and cite your brand for your key prompts. Referrals show clicks that happen; prompt tracking shows the far larger zero-click exposure.

Most AI influence is zero-click - buyers read the answer and never visit - so analytics referrals undercount it. That is why prompt-level tracking of whether you are named and cited is the truer measure of AI visibility.

Combine both: watch AI referral sources in analytics, and run your buying-intent prompts through the engines on a schedule to see your mention and citation trend versus competitors.
