# AEO report

> The AEO report — LLM requests, bot crawls, and URL-level activity from AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, and Claude, and how to read AI-engine attention on your site.

The AEO (AI Engine Optimization) report shows how AI platforms interact with your site: which engines are reading your pages, how often, and which URLs they reference. ChatGPT and Perplexity don't send you reports — this is where that activity becomes visible.

It's the reading half of a pair. The AEO report shows AI platforms **consuming your content**; the [Traffic report's AI/LLM channel](/product/analytics/traffic-report#the-aillm-channel) shows **their users arriving** at your store afterward.

## What it tracks

Four summary metrics head the report, each shown against your comparison period:

* **Total LLM requests** — how many times AI platforms requested content from your site.
* **URL loads** — page fetches by AI platforms.
* **Image loads** — image fetches by AI platforms.
* **Bot crawls** — visits from AI platforms' crawlers indexing your content.

Activity is broken down by AI platform throughout — for example ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, and Claude.

## Activity over time

**LLM Request Trend** charts daily requests, segmented by AI channel, so you can see both overall volume and which platforms drive it — and whether a content change was followed by a change in AI attention.

**LLM Channel Share** shows how requests distribute across platforms for the selected period. Platforms rarely pay equal attention; this is where you learn which ones actually read your catalog.

## LLM channel performance

The per-platform table shows, for each AI channel: the **bot name** it identifies itself with (for example `Claude-User` or `Perplexity-User`), **URL loads**, **image loads**, **total requests**, **bot crawls**, **pages indexed**, and the change against your comparison period.

Pages indexed is the one to watch over time: it tells you how much of your site each platform has actually taken in, which is the precondition for your products appearing in its answers.

## URL performance by LLM

The URL table lists every page AI platforms have referenced, with per-platform counts and a total — sortable, so your most-referenced pages surface first.

This is the report's most actionable view:

* **Check your key product pages appear.** If the products you care about aren't being read, AI engines can't cite them — that's a signal to strengthen those pages' [AEO content](/product/enrichment/fields#aeo--answer-engine-optimization).
* **See what AI engines choose to read.** The pages platforms reference most aren't always the ones you'd predict, and that's useful input for where to spend enrichment effort.

## Reading AEO activity honestly

Treat everything in this report as a **visibility signal**: evidence that AI platforms are reading and referencing your pages, which is the precondition for showing up in their answers. It is not attributed revenue — for the connection to actual visits and orders, follow the [AI/LLM channel in the Traffic report](/product/analytics/traffic-report#the-aillm-channel), and for the fuller measurement method see [Proving enrichment works](/product/enrichment/measuring-impact).
