The Traffic page shows website visits with specific focus on traffic arriving from AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

​
With Google Analytics (GA4) connected

If GA4 is connected, the page shows:
  • Total sessions over the selected period
  • AI referral sessions — traffic from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and similar tools
  • Session trend chart
  • Top pages by session count
  • Country breakdown
  • AI platform breakdown — which AI tools are sending traffic
Connect GA4 at Settings → Integrations. See Integrations.

​
Without GA4 (script-based tracking)

If GA4 is not connected, Lantern can track visits via a lightweight script. The page provides a one-line script tag to add to your site’s <head>. Script-based tracking shows:
  • Total visit count
  • AI referral attribution
  • Recent visit log with timestamp, page, and source

​
AI referrals

The AI Referrals metric is the most important number on this page. It measures traffic arriving from AI-powered search. A rising count means your brand citations in AI models are translating into real website visits.
A rising AI Visibility score without a matching rise in AI referrals suggests AI models mention you but don’t link to you. Check the Citations page for opportunities.
