The real product

AI crawler attribution. Crawl to citation.

See which pages AI bots crawl most, correlate crawler activity with AI referral traffic, and submit content directly to AI search engines.

DemandSphere Log Analytics - AI crawler attribution and content performance

You're Only Seeing the Tip of the Iceberg

Google Search Console shows you what Google chose to report. Log files show you what Google actually did - every request, every bot, every URL, every response code.

The truth lives in your logs. Which pages did Googlebot crawl yesterday? How often? Did it get a 200 or a 500? What about GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and the dozens of other AI crawlers now hitting your site?

Without log file analysis, you're making SEO decisions based on incomplete data. You're optimizing blind.

CFO
"Log file integration? That sounds like an engineering project. What's the ROI?"
You
"We need to track AI crawlers. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude - they're all crawling us now. We can't see them without logs."
CFO
"AI visibility? That's strategic. Approved."

LLMs Just Made Log Analytics Executive-Approved

For years, log file analysis was a hard sell. "Too technical." "Not worth the integration effort." "GSC is enough."

Not anymore. The rise of AI search has changed the conversation. Executives now understand that AI crawlers - GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot - are a strategic concern. And the only way to see them is through log files.

  • Track every AI crawler hitting your site
  • Understand crawl budget allocation
  • Identify indexation issues at the source
  • Strategic visibility for leadership
