# AI Visibility Reporting for SEO Agencies

AI visibility reporting helps SEO agencies show clients which pages AI systems fetch, which pages later receive AI-referred visits, and which pages need technical or content work.

Use HitKeep when the client question is: Are ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or other AI systems requesting our content, and do those pages later receive useful traffic?

Managed option

## Build an evidence-led AI visibility report.

Run one client site long enough to separate crawler access, human demand, and the next technical or content action.

## Run a 14-day agency pilot

Start with one content-heavy client site. Use the dedicated [AI performance landing page](https://hitkeep.com/ai-performance/) for the commercial pitch, then use this reporting workflow to turn the pilot into client-facing findings.

- Install hk.js for pageviews, AI-referred visits, goals, and automatic events.
- Forward server-side AI crawler fetch records from CloudFront logs, nginx, Caddy, an app server, or another edge or origin layer.
- Review at least 14 days of data so crawler fetches have time to line up with later AI-referred visits.

## What to show the client

- Fetched pages: pages AI crawlers request from the site.
- AI-referred visits: human visits where the referrer matches a known AI assistant.
- Fetch-to-visit overlap: fetched pages that later receive AI-referred visits.
- Opportunity pages: pages AI systems fetch often but rarely send visits to.
- Failure hotspots: pages or path groups where AI crawlers hit 4xx or 5xx responses.

A crawler fetch is not a session, ranking, citation, or conversion, and HitKeep does not claim exact attribution from one bot request to one human visit.

## Setup checklist

- Create a HitKeep Cloud workspace and choose the client preferred region on signup.
- Add the client domain as a site.
- Install hk.js on the site or through the WordPress plugin.
- Create a scoped API client for the site.
- Forward AI crawler fetch records into `POST /api/sites/{id}/ingest/ai-fetch`.
- Open **AI Agents** and check the **Crawlers** tab after the first log batches arrive.
- Review correlation after 14 days.

## Reporting cadence

| Cadence | What to review |
| --- | --- |
| Weekly | Crawler volume, AI-referred visits, and new crawler errors |
| Monthly | Opportunity pages, technical fixes shipped, and conversion impact |
| After content updates | Whether updated pages are fetched and later receive AI-referred visits |
| After migrations | Crawler 404s, redirect paths, and changed high-interest URLs |

## What not to claim

- Do not claim that a fetch proves a citation.
- Do not claim that HitKeep can see a private AI answer.
- Do not count crawler fetches as sessions or users.
- Do not promise AI Overview or AI Mode rankings from a tracking setup.

The value is operational: agencies can see crawler access, crawler failures, AI-referred visits, and pages worth improving.
