Which AIs read your site? And what they bring you.
Snorklee counts every AI bot hit on your pages. It also counts the visitors ChatGPT or Perplexity send you.
Three questions. Three measured numbers.
No made-up score: every number comes from your own server.
Which AIs read your site
17 AI bot families recognized, including GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot. 29 signatures in all.
How many times
Page by page, day by day. Pages AIs read but nobody ever visits come out on top.
How many visitors they send back
Every visit from ChatGPT, Perplexity or Claude is counted separately. Never filed under "Direct".
Your Google and Bing keywords, on the same screen as your visitors.
You connect your Search Console and your Bing account. Snorklee reads, and changes nothing.
Google Search Console
One-click connection, read-only. Snorklee asks for the "webmasters.readonly" scope, nothing more.
Bing Webmaster Tools
An API key is enough. Most analytics tools read Google only — Bing stays a blind spot.
Clicks, impressions, position
Your top keywords and top pages, with click-through rate and average position.
Refreshed every night
None of your visitor data goes to Google or Microsoft. Snorklee never pushes anything.
Your Google searches, your Bing searches, your visitors and your AI bots: one page to read.
The others ask the AIs questions. We read your server.
Peec, Profound and the rest send made-up questions to the AIs, then estimate your visibility. Snorklee counts what actually reaches you.
Tools that ask made-up questions ℹ
- 1,000 made-up questions, sent to the AIs
- An estimated presence percentage
- Manufactured data, outside your site
Snorklee
- The traffic your server receives
- Hits and visits counted one by one
- Your data, no cookies, hosted in Europe
Snorklee does not know what question was asked before a visit: nobody gets that information.
AIs already read your site. You are about to see it.
Three product screens, exactly as they appear. The numbers come from a demo site.
17 AI bot families. 29 recognized signatures.
Three vendors publish their address lists: OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity. Their hits are verified one by one.
A bot posing as GPTBot from another address is dropped from your numbers.

Six cards. Not one estimated number.
These are the cards under the names they carry in the product. All of them run on your real traffic.
Your journey with the AIs
3 countersThe bots that read you, the pages opened during an answer, the visitors received. Never added together.
Moments
the first timesThe first visitor sent by an assistant. The first page opened live. Your record week.
Which AI assistants send you visitors
rankingChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini: how many visits each brings, and the change versus the previous period.
AI bots
family + purposeEvery bot with what it came to do: collect for training, index for a search engine, or read to answer.
Your pages, as AIs see them
the leverPage by page. The ones AIs read without ever sending anyone carry a label.
Where your AI visitors land
top pagesThe landing pages of visitors sent by assistants, ranked by real visits.
All six cards are open from day one of your 14-day free trial.
Two sensors. No cookies.
- Visitors from an AI chat: your tag is enough. When someone clicks a link inside ChatGPT, their browser says where they came from. Snorklee recognizes the assistant and counts that visit separately.
- AI bots: captured on your server. GPTBot or ClaudeBot read your page without ever rendering it: a plain tag never sees them. Add the small server snippet — ready-made code and a step-by-step guide, without even creating an account.
- Bot identity is verified. Anyone can call themselves GPTBot. When the vendor publishes its addresses, Snorklee checks every hit: impostors drop out of your numbers.
- It all lands on one screen. Your visitors, your Google and Bing keywords, and your AI bots. No cookie is set, for either of them.
Who these bots actually are.
People often ask us whether GPTBot and ChatGPT-User are the same bot. They are not. The first collects pages to train a model; the second opens your page while an AI answers someone. Blocking both under one policy means cutting off traffic you meant to keep. So here, bot by bot, is what each one does — and which ones publish their IP addresses, which is what lets you check they really are who they claim to be.

A number is worthless if you do not know what it proves. Our three counters do not measure the same thing: we never add them up. Here is what each one establishes, and above all what it does not.
| What we counted | How it is captured | What it proves | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|---|
| An AI bot read the page | Bot user-agent, read server-side | A bot fetched this page | Does not prove the page will be cited |
| An AI opened the page to answer | Bot whose stated purpose is “assistant” | An AI opened the page during a conversation | Does not say what the AI did with it |
| A visitor came from an AI chat | Visit referrer (chat.openai.com, perplexity.ai…) | A human came from an AI answer | Misses arrivals with no referrer |
