Methodology & caveats

Counts come from PressGEO's own server logs, grouped by AI crawler user agent. They show fetches on pressgeo.com only. A fetch does not mean a page was indexed, cited or recommended. No visitor IPs or query strings are stored or published. CC BY 4.0 — cite “PressGEO, AI Crawler Index,” the edition month and this page. Live crawler stats →
