do seo for pinata on chatgpt - new customer acquisition channel for u

SEO on ChatGPT is actually a long-tail result of traditional SEO which Pinata invested in heavily. This positioned us well for AIO (AI Optimization). Here are our referral sources for sign ups.

Wow, congratulations. Do you track the referral or crawler traffic coming from ChatGPT or only sign ups?

Crawler and traditional referral traffic is tracked, but this chart is based on self-reported "how did you hear about us" responses during on-boarding.

Cool! How do you guys track crawler activity? Self-made the backend for it? Or do you use a service?

Cloudflare request activity is primary. The crawlers do not disguise their activity very well at all unless you're trying to block them, which we do not. Traditional analytics filters this type of traffic out usually, so you need access to raw web server requests.

Yes, I'm actually building an open-sourced tracker for crawlers and AI agents. Going to launch soon.
