Siteline

Siteline is one of the first tools I have tested that treats AI agent traffic as a measurable acquisition channel instead of a curiosity. The pitch is simple: a meaningful share of your traffic now comes from AI agents and crawlers acting on behalf of users — OpenAI's fetchers, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Meta AI — and conventional analytics either hides that traffic in a lumped 'bot' bucket or misses it entirely. Siteline reads your actual server data through an integration with your CDN or stack, identifies which agents fetch which pages, and then tries to connect that machine activity to the human visits and signups that follow. Its own framing on the homepage — 'the analytics layer for AI agent traffic' — is accurate; this is instrumentation, not a content generator.

What it does

The product has four working parts. Agent Analytics identifies every AI agent and crawler on your site by platform and intent, showing the pages and routes they fetch most and where they get stuck — the homepage demo table shows exactly the shape of the data: per-platform agent counts, distinct pages fetched, agent visits, and human referrals. Visibility Tracking runs a set of prompts you choose across the major AI platforms (ChatGPT, AI Mode, Perplexity, Gemini) and reports share of voice, ranking position, and how your brand is contextualized relative to named competitors. Citation Monitoring shows which external sources and which of your URLs chatbots actually reference when answering category questions. Traffic & Conversion Analytics ties agent visits to downstream human referrals and signups, so you can attribute revenue-ish outcomes to specific prompts and pages rather than to vague 'AI visibility.'

The fifth layer is the one I find most interesting: Siteline's insights agent crunches the traffic and visibility data and emits prioritized recommendation cards — each with an impact level, an effort level, a description, and an evidence line (the demo card cites competitor visibility percentages on a specific prompt). You can ask follow-up questions in the product or connect the findings over MCP to turn a card into an actionable step in an agent workflow. That MCP hook is a sensible design: the people who care about agent traffic are exactly the people running agent tooling.

Integrations cover the common paths into your traffic data: Vercel, Cloudflare, Netlify, Azure CDN, AWS CloudFront, Next.js, WordPress, and Fastly, with direct API access on higher tiers. The stated differentiation against GEO/AEO rank trackers is that those tools simulate prompts to guess how AI sees your brand, while Siteline reads what agents actually did on your servers. The vendor puts a number on the opportunity — '30% of web traffic already comes from AI agents and bots' — which is a vendor claim and one I would not repeat as fact without a source of my own.

My testing notes

I worked through the product surface, the integration documentation, and the pricing terms across several listings, and two observations are worth having before you sign up.

First, the free tier is genuinely a smoke test rather than a demo, and its limits tell you what the metered unit of the product is. At time of writing, third-party pricing listings for Siteline (toolify, neura.market, topaihubs, and an ecommerceguide entry verified in October 2026) agree on this shape: Free at $0 gives 20 monthly prompt runs, one AI platform (ChatGPT as the example), one tracked product plus two competitors, and one website integration, with agent analytics unlimited on the toolify listing. In practical terms that is enough to wire up one site, watch which agents crawl it for a few weeks, and run a handful of visibility prompts on one model. If the agent analytics part is what you actually want — and for developer-facing docs sites, it is — the free tier carries the load-bearing feature and the paid tiers mostly buy prompt volume and competitor breadth. Starter at $49/month buys 500 prompt runs, all major platforms, 10 products or competitors, 2 website integrations, and 1M analytics events; Scale at $99/month takes that to 1,100 runs, 50 competitors, 5 integrations, 5M events, and adds Slack support; Pro at $299/month raises that to 4,000 runs, unlimited products and integrations, and 20M events.

Second, the recommendation cards are concrete in a way most AI-seo tooling is not. When I inspected the sample insight output, the cards carried specific, checkable claims — a per-route fetch count (the demo shows Claude Code visits to a docs route rising from 412 to 1,361 with a 3.4-hit average re-fetch rate), a named competitor visibility percentage on an exact prompt string, and a proposed action with an effort estimate. Whether the numbers hold up in your account depends on your traffic volume, but the output format invites verification instead of asking you to trust an opaque score. The case studies published on the homepage — Cerbos reporting a 150% rise in AI visibility, Emlid a 45% lift in content ingestion, Trade Vision 85% more AI citations — are vendor-selected customer quotes and should be read as such.

One practical note from the sign-up path: agency accounts are a first-class account type, so a consultancy can keep clients' products and competitors separated instead of mixing them into one workspace. For teams already paying for a GEO tool, that per-client separation plus the conversion attribution is the strongest argument for adding Siteline rather than replacing your stack.

What it does not do

Siteline is analytics and recommendations. It will not rewrite your pages, generate content, or fix your robots.txt for you — the 'Action' lines on the cards are instructions, not executions. It also cannot see agent activity it has no integration for: if your traffic does not pass through one of the supported CDNs, platforms, or the API, that data is invisible to it. And the prompt-run model means visibility tracking is sampled, not continuous — 20 runs a month on Free and 500 on Starter will not support daily rank tracking of a large prompt set.

The reliability picture is thin. This is a young product — it carries a Product Hunt launch badge and short case studies, but I found no established third-party review coverage, no public status page history, and no independent accuracy studies of its agent identification. The '1,000+ fast-growing companies & agencies' trust line on the homepage is a vendor claim. I also hit a concrete friction point during my checks: siteline.ai/pricing returns a 404 at the time of writing, so the pricing above comes from directory listings rather than a live vendor page — verify current plans in-app before budgeting. Reporting API access appears to be Enterprise-only, and there is no self-serve team or SSO documentation I could find on the public site.

Finally, a category-level caveat: attributing 'AI agent visits' to downstream human conversions is inherently probabilistic. An agent that fetches your pricing page and a human who signs up two days later are related only by inference. Siteline is better positioned than prompt-simulation tools because it starts from real fetch behavior, but the conversion attribution is a model, not a receipt.

Verdict

If agent traffic is a real line in your logs and you cannot explain it, Siteline is the clearest instrument I have seen for that specific job, and the free tier is enough to prove the premise on your own site before spending anything. The category is young, the vendor is young, and the pricing source is currently a set of third-party listings rather than a vendor page. Rated 3.4: good functional depth across agent analytics, visibility, citations, and attribution (3.6), fair value with the core analytics on the free tier (3.4), clean integration paths and useful recommendation output (3.5), responsive but basic support with Slack gated to Scale and above (3.2), and thin reliability signals for a product this new (2.9).
