If AI bots are not crawling your pages, AI cannot recommend you

You can write the best content in your industry, but if GPTBot never visits the page, ChatGPT will never know about it. Crawler logs are the first step in understanding your AI visibility pipeline.

Find your crawl blind spots

Your homepage might get crawled daily while product pages go untouched for weeks. Page-level data shows you exactly where AI bots spend their time and what they ignore

Spot crawl frequency trends

A sudden drop in GPTBot visits could mean a robots.txt misconfiguration or a crawl budget issue. Daily charts catch these problems before they hurt your AI visibility

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AI crawler tracking

What are AI crawler logs?

AI crawler logs track when AI bots visit your website. Every major AI company sends crawlers to index web content for their models. GPTBot collects data for ChatGPT, ClaudeBot for Claude, PerplexityBot for Perplexity, and Google-Extended for Gemini. ClayHog captures these visits from your server logs and shows you exactly which AI bots are crawling your site, which pages they visit, and how often they return.

Which AI crawlers does ClayHog track?

ClayHog detects 25+ AI crawlers including GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, and OAI-SearchBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot and Claude-Web (Anthropic), PerplexityBot and Perplexity-User (Perplexity), Google-Extended and Googlebot (Google), Bytespider (ByteDance), meta-externalagent and FacebookBot (Meta), Applebot-Extended (Apple), YouBot (You.com), cohere-ai (Cohere), Amazonbot (Amazon), CCBot (Common Crawl), DuckAssistBot (DuckDuckGo), and more. New crawlers are added as they appear.

How do I set up AI crawler tracking?

Setup takes under five minutes. ClayHog provides a log drain endpoint that connects to your hosting provider. For Vercel, Netlify, and Cloudflare, you paste the endpoint URL into your log drain settings and ClayHog starts processing visits immediately. Each brand gets its own API key and ingest endpoint. No code changes or server modifications are needed.

What data does ClayHog capture from AI crawlers?

For each AI crawler visit, ClayHog records the crawler name and company, the page path visited, the HTTP method, status code, IP address, user agent string, and exact timestamp. The analytics dashboard shows total visits with period-over-period comparisons, top pages by crawl volume, top crawlers by visit count, and a daily stacked bar chart showing crawl trends over time.

Why does AI crawler tracking matter for GEO?

If AI crawlers are not visiting your pages, those pages cannot appear in AI-generated responses. Crawler logs tell you whether AI bots are actually indexing your content. If GPTBot has never visited your product pages, ChatGPT has no way to recommend them. By tracking crawl patterns, you can identify pages that AI bots ignore, fix crawl barriers, and verify that your most important content is being indexed by the AI platforms you care about.

Which hosting providers are supported?

ClayHog supports log drains from Vercel, Netlify, and Cloudflare out of the box. A manual integration option is also available for any provider that can forward HTTP access logs via webhook. Each integration type has its own parser, so log formats are handled automatically. Setup is a one-time configuration that takes under five minutes.
