What access does Gensiv need to Google Analytics?

Read-only access to one GA4 property, either by signing in with Google or by adding Gensiv's service account as a Viewer. Gensiv can't change anything in your Analytics account.

Which AI assistants are counted?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Copilot by name, plus DeepSeek, Meta AI, Grok, Mistral Le Chat, You.com and Phind grouped as other AI.

Why is Google AI Overviews missing?

Clicks from Google AI Overviews and AI Mode reach your site as ordinary Google search traffic, so Google Analytics can't tell them apart. Gensiv still tracks your visibility in AI Overviews.

Can I get the data out?

Yes. Download daily AI traffic and landing pages as CSV, or read them through the API and the MCP server.

What happens if I disconnect?

Gensiv stops importing and revokes its access. Imported history stays until you choose to delete it.

See the visits AI answers send you

Connect Google Analytics 4 and Gensiv imports the sessions, key events and revenue that come from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Copilot. See them next to your AI visibility, by assistant and by landing page, so you know whether being recommended turns into customers.

AI Referral Traffic

What is AI referral traffic?

AI referral traffic is the visits to your website that come from links inside AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Copilot. Google Analytics 4 records these visits by their source. Gensiv reads that report data from your GA4 property, groups it by assistant, and shows it next to how often those assistants mention you, so a rise in visibility can be checked against real visits and key events.

How we measure

How Gensiv counts AI traffic

Straight from your GA4 reports, with the limits stated.

01
By referrer
A visit counts when GA4's session source is a known AI assistant, such as chatgpt.com or perplexity.ai.
02
Aggregated only
Gensiv reads daily totals by source and landing page. It never reads user-level data.
03
A floor, not a ceiling
Some AI apps send no referrer, so those visits show as direct traffic in GA4 and Gensiv can't count them.
04
Google AI Overviews excluded
Clicks from AI Overviews and AI Mode arrive as normal Google search traffic, so GA4 can't separate them.
