Description
Regular analytics tools show you visitors, page views and where traffic comes from — but they lump AI assistants browsing your site in with generic bots or miss them entirely. SearchSeal is built for a world where ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini might be reading your pages to answer someone's question: it shows the same visitor and traffic metrics as a standard analytics tool, but breaks out AI crawler activity by which system is visiting, whether it was blocked, and what it actually retrieved.
On the technical side, SearchSeal covers standard analytics (visitors, page views, sources, goals, revenue tracking), classifies bot traffic versus AI assistant crawlers by company, logs crawler evidence (HTTP outcomes, blocked requests), integrates with Cloudflare and Vercel, and connects via MCP to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and DeepSeek. It's usage-based, starting at $8/month for 10k events on one site, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required to start.
💬 Our review
The short version: if you want to know not just how many humans visit your site but which AI systems are crawling it and whether they're actually reading your content, SearchSeal adds that layer on top of standard privacy-friendly analytics for a low starting price.
Compared to a general analytics tool like Plausible or Fathom, SearchSeal covers the same visitor metrics but adds AI-crawler identification as its actual differentiator — something those tools don't break out by name. Compared to dedicated 'AI search visibility' tools that focus purely on brand mentions in AI answers, SearchSeal stays closer to classic web analytics with crawler detection bolted on, which is a narrower but more concrete signal (did the bot actually hit this page) than sentiment tracking. At $8-18/month with a real free trial, it's cheap enough to try alongside whatever analytics you already run, though the Starter tier's 10k events and single site will feel tight fast for anything beyond a small site.
