When will I see my first bot visit after installing the AEOfix tracker?

AI crawlers typically hit new pages within 24 to 72 hours. Common first bots include GPTBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), Googlebot, and Bingbot.

How quickly does bot visit data appear in the AEOfix dashboard?

Dashboard data appears in real time once your snippet fires and a bot makes a request to your page.

What should I do if I don't see any bot visits after installing?

Most issues are a missing publish step on the platform side. Check the AEOfix verification guide to confirm the snippet is firing correctly before expecting bot visits.

Does the AEOfix tracking snippet work on platforms not listed in the guide?

Yes. The snippet is pure HTML and JavaScript. If your platform allows you to add custom HTML before the closing body tag, the snippet will work. Paste it there.

Getting Started with AEOfix AI Bot Tracker

Before you begin

You'll need the following before installing:

✓ An approved AEOfix account — sign up at the AI Bot Tracker page if you haven't yet.
✓ Access to add code to your website — this varies by platform. See the platform guides in Step 2 below.
✓ Your unique Site ID and snippet — shown in your dashboard after login.

Note: Your snippet is displayed at the top of your dashboard at all times. It is personalized to your Site ID and includes your security key if you have rotated it.

Three steps to go live

1 Log in and copy your snippet

— Log in to your AEOfix dashboard.
— Your snippet is shown in the banner at the top of the dashboard — click Copy snippet.
— The snippet is already personalized with your Site ID — no editing required.

2 Paste it on your site

Find your platform below and follow the guide:

WordPress Plugin method or footer.php — 60 seconds Squarespace Code injection in site settings Webflow Custom code in project settings Shopify theme.liquid before </body> Wix Tracking & Analytics custom code Ghost Code injection footer in settings Framer Custom code in site settings end of <body> Carrd Embed widget set to head or body Weebly Footer code in site settings Bubble HTML element or reusable element

Note: Not on this list? The snippet is pure HTML/JS. If your platform lets you add custom HTML before </body>, it works. Paste it there.
