Platform Attribution

AI mentions you. Does it turn into business?

Lead forms, AI crawler visits, answer sources and article citations — four layers connecting "exposure in AI" with real business conversion.

What it solves
  • Monitoring reports answer "were we mentioned"; leadership asks "did we win any business".
  • Traffic and leads from AI channels never reach the ledger.
  • Attribution is where self-deception is easiest — mistaking correlation for causation is the most expensive mistake.
How it works
  • Lead forms with SLA follow-up: configurable forms and a lead progression flow.
  • AI crawler analytics: which AI crawlers visited and what they fetched.
  • Channel-level citation attribution: answer source domains vs owned channels.
  • Article-level citation attribution: whether each published article gets cited (reported as a lower bound; unmatched counted as "unmatchable", never dressed up as a conclusion).
Capabilities

Four attribution layers, each verifiable

Lead AI-source identification

Source fields, referrer and domain patterns identify which AI engine a lead came from, stored on the lead record.

Channel-level citation attribution

Answer source domains matched against owned channels — suited to owned-site scenarios.

Article-level citation attribution

Each published link compared against AI source URLs to answer "was this article cited?"; unmatched sources are honestly counted as unmatchable.

GEO ROI calculator

Sampling and content costs alongside lead volume — a practical read on return.

Lead forms & SLA

Configurable forms catch AI-channel visitors; lead progression has states and timeout reminders.

Effect-boundary statements

Every attribution report states what it can and cannot imply — correlation is never dressed up as causation.
