AI Kansoku Lab Tracker vs Unsourced – AI Bot Monitor & AI Search Citation Tracker

AI Kansoku Lab Tracker detects visits from AI-related crawlers such as GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot using PHP server-side detection. AI crawlers often do not execute JavaScript, so JavaScript-based analytics tools such as GA4 may not record these visits as normal pageviews. This plugin helps site owners observe AI crawler activity at the server level. Detected crawler visits are stored in your WordPress database. Optional external tracking is available only when you explicitly enable it in the settings page. Features 34 AI-related crawler patterns from 20+ companies – GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, Claude-SearchBot, Claude-User, Anthropic-AI, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Google-Extended, Google-NotebookLM, Google-Agent, ByteSpider, Meta-ExternalAgent, Meta-ExternalFetcher, AppleBot, AppleBot-Extended, DeepSeek, Grok, xAI-SearchBot, CopilotBot, Bingbot, AmazonBot, YandexBot, YouBot, Diffbot, ShapBot, TavilyBot, DuckAssistBot, Cohere-AI, Timpibot, FirecrawlAgent, and related access patterns Training vs. user-triggered classification – Crawler visits are classified as either “Autonomous AI (training/patrol)” or “Human-triggered AI reference,” showing whether your content is being collected for AI training or actually being looked up because someone asked an AI about it Local crawler logging – Detected visits are stored in your WordPress database 30-day trend analysis – Dashboard with 30-day / 7-day period switching AI Exposure Score – Visibility score based on crawler activity Crawler breakdown – See which AI-related services visit your site most Top pages – Identify which pages AI crawlers focus on Explicit opt-in for external tracking – External transmission only activates when you enable it via checkbox Minimal performance impact – Optional external requests use non-blocking POST requests Front-end only – Does not fire on admin, cron, AJAX, or REST API requests WordPress standards – Uses wp_remote_post, register_setting, nonce verification, and proper escaping throughout 日本語の説明 AI Kansoku Lab Tracker は、GPTBot・ChatGPT-User・ClaudeBot・PerplexityBot などの AI 関連クローラーがあなたのサイトを訪問した記録を、WordPress 上で検知・可視化するプラグインです。 AI クローラーは JavaScript を実行しないことが多いため、GA4 などの JavaScript ベースのアクセス解析では通常のページビューとして記録されない場合があります。本プラグインは PHP によるサーバーサイド検知を採用し、AI クローラーの訪問をサーバーレベルで観測できるようにします。 検知したクローラーのログは WordPress のローカルデータベースに保存されます。外部トラッキングを有効にした場合のみ、AI観測ラボへデータを送信します。 主な機能: 20社以上・34種類のAI関連クローラーパターンを検知 「学習・巡回AI」と「人間起点のAI参照」を区別して表示 — サイトがAIの学習データとして収集されているだけなのか、それとも誰かが実際にAIに質問した結果として読まれているのかが一目でわかります 検知ログを WordPress のローカルDBに保存 30日間のトレンド分析（7日間表示への切り替え対応） AI露出スコアによる可視化 クローラー種別の内訳表示 よく見られているページの可視化 外部トラッキングは明示的なオプトイン方式 管理画面・AJAX・REST API・WP-Cron では実行しない設計 開発・運営: AI観測ラボ How It Works When a front-end page is requested, the plugin checks the User-Agent string against known AI-related crawler patterns. If a match is found, the detected visit is stored in your WordPress database. If you have explicitly enabled external tracking and configured a Site ID, the plugin also sends an asynchronous POST request to the AI Kansoku Lab API. This optional external request uses a non-blocking request so that the site visitor experiences no delay. External Services This plugin may connect to the following external service: AI Kansoku Lab https://www.ai-kansoku.com External tracking is opt-in only. Data is only transmitted after you explicitly enable external tracking in the plugin settings page. When an AI-related crawler is detected and external tracking is enabled, the following data is sent to the AI Kansoku Lab API: User-Agent string of the detected crawler URL path of the visited page HTTP referer header, if present HTTP status code of the page, such as 200 or 404 Site ID configured in the plugin settings No personally identifiable information is collected.

AI assistants now answer the questions your readers used to type into Google, often using your content. Are they citing you, or sending people to a competitor? Unsourced is the WordPress plugin for Unsourced, the evidence layer for AI search, also known as GEO (generative engine optimization), AEO (answer engine optimization), or AI SEO. Unsourced shows independent publishers and content creators which AI assistants cite them, who is really crawling their site, and whether their fixes actually move the needle, backed by verified evidence, not the inferred “AI visibility scores” most tools sell. The AI companion to your SEO plugin. Yoast SEO and Rank Math optimize your pages for Google. Neither can tell you whether AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity actually cite you. Unsourced adds the missing layer: your AI search visibility plus verified crawler evidence, running alongside the SEO plugin you already use. Server-side bot detection: catches the bots that skip JavaScript Most analytics tools are blind to AI crawlers because bots like GPTBot and ClaudeBot never execute JavaScript. This plugin runs inside WordPress at the PHP level, checks every request against 22 known AI bot signatures, and logs each visit to your Unsourced dashboard with zero impact on page load time. The server-side layer is what actually catches AI crawlers, and the plugin adds no JavaScript to your pages. Bot Trust: verified, impostor, or unverifiable Anyone can put “GPTBot” in a User-Agent string. Unsourced verifies each crawler’s true identity against the operator’s published IP ranges and forward-confirmed reverse DNS (FCrDNS), then sorts every visitor into Verified, Impostor, or Unverifiable, with honest, copy-paste block rules. You see who is genuinely OpenAI or Anthropic, and who is just wearing the badge. AI citation monitoring: are they citing you or a competitor? Beyond crawl detection, Unsourced runs weekly citation checks across 8 AI models, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity and Bing / Copilot. It generates high-intent questions tailored to your actual content topics (the same kind of questions your audience types into AI assistants), then checks whether the AI cites your domain or sends users to a competitor instead. Every check is logged: which AI platform, which prompt, whether you were cited, what context surrounded the mention, and which competitor domains appeared instead. You get a clear picture of your AI search presence across all 8 models Unsourced monitors. Origin Signal: live crawl or training data? When an AI assistant’s answer reproduces your wording, Unsourced checks whether a verified AI crawler (caught by this plugin’s server-side detection) actually fetched that page in the same window. If it did, the citation is backed by a live crawl rather than older training data. Each match is logged with a timestamp and the scan window it belongs to. Combined with your bot-visit logs and citation results, that gives you a documented, timestamped record of live use of your content, a starting point for licensing conversations or escalation. Measured lift: did your fix actually work? When Unsourced flags a gap (a topic where AI recommends a competitor instead of you) and you act on it, you can mark it actioned. Unsourced then re-checks that exact topic about a week later and tells you whether your citations actually moved: measured evidence of a change, not a promise. No causation is overclaimed; you simply see the before and after. What you see in your dashboard: Which AI bots visited, which pages, and how often, and which are Verified, Impostor, or Unverifiable Your citation rate across all 8 AI models: ChatGPT, ChatGPT (web search), Claude, Gemini (grounded search), Grok, Meta Llama, Perplexity and Bing / Copilot Which competitor domains are cited instead of you, and for which topics Whether each citation came from a live crawl of your page or from older training data Whether a fix you actioned produced measured lift on its topic Weekly AI Visibility Audit and Evidence Report PDFs, generated from your live data Detected bots (22 signatures): * GPTBot, ChatGPT-User & OAI-SearchBot (OpenAI) * ClaudeBot & anthropic-ai (Anthropic) * PerplexityBot & Perplexity-User * CCBot (Common Crawl) * Google-Extended, GoogleOther, Google-CloudVertexBot * Bytespider (ByteDance / TikTok) * cohere-ai, Diffbot, Amazonbot, YouBot * Meta-ExternalAgent * Applebot-Extended * omgilibot, PetalBot, Timpibot, BrightBot External Services This plugin sends data to Unsourced (https://unsourced.app), an external service that logs and displays AI bot activity and citation intelligence for your site. A connection to this service is required for the plugin to function. What data is transmitted: Your site URL The URL of the page being visited by the bot The detected bot name and raw User-Agent string The visitor IP address When data is sent: Only when a valid Unsourced API key has been configured in the plugin settings. Bot event reporting fires only when a request matches a known AI bot signature, sending the details above. The plugin also contacts Unsourced when you connect and verify your account, sending your site URL and API key. Human visitors are not affected by bot reporting.
