Does AI traffic convert better than traditional search traffic?

Often yes, especially from platforms like Perplexity where users get detailed context before clicking. AI traffic tends to be more qualified—users already know about your brand from the AI response and click for specific intent (pricing, sign-up, details). However, conversion depends on your content quality and how well the AI describes your offering. Track AI traffic conversion separately to measure GEO ROI.

Why am I getting AI crawler traffic but no human AI traffic?

Crawlers visiting doesn't guarantee citations. Your content must be cited in AI responses for human traffic. Check if you're actually mentioned in answers to relevant prompts through monitoring tools. If crawled but not cited, improve content depth, clarity, E-E-A-T signals, and structured data. Human AI traffic follows citations—no citations means no referral traffic regardless of crawler activity.

What is AI Traffic?

AI Traffic refers to visitors who arrive at your site from AI platforms. This can include clicks from citations in Perplexity, links in ChatGPT Search, or references in AI Overviews. This traffic is distinct from traditional SEO traffic and can be identified via referrers (chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai) or AI bot user-agents. Tracking AI traffic is crucial for measuring the ROI of your GEO efforts.
