— The split picture

Google sends buyers to your guide.ChatGPT sends them to Paymint's.

Say you run Wagewise, a payroll app. Google says your guide to paying contractors gets the most clicks. Nothing tells you that no AI answer links to it, so you never learn which page to fix.

— How Stride solves it

Three steps from page list to what's working.

Step 1: Compare the leaders

AI's favorite pages aren't Google's

23 pages get Google clicks and no AI answers. Start there.

Two ranked lists show the pages AI answers link to most and the pages that get the most AI visits.

Not in either list

23 pages get Google clicks but no AI citation.

Step 2: Open a page

Every number for a page, side by side

Google clicks, AI answers and AI visits, each in its own column.

Each number comes from its own source and is never added into one score; on Scale and Agency, you also see how often AI tools read the page.

Step 3: Watch the trend

A marker shows when each task went live.

The trend counts the AI answers that link to your site at every scan, so you can see whether that number rose after a change; it shows timing, not cause.

Questions, answered.

Is analytics on every plan?

Yes. Analytics and Top pages are on every plan. Google clicks come from Search Console and AI visits from GA4, both on every plan. AI crawler requests need crawler logs, which are on Scale and Agency and in beta.

Why doesn't Stride combine the numbers into one score?

They count different things: a Google click, an AI answer citing the page, a visit from an AI tool and a request from an AI crawler. Stride keeps each in its own column, and labels Analytics readings Measured, Estimate or Context so a modeled number never reads as a fact.

If a page is cited and gets AI visits, did the citation send them?

Not necessarily. Stride shows the readings side by side, co-observed, not causal. Treat a match as a lead worth acting on, not proof.

Where do the AI citations come from?

From Stride's own checks. It asks the AI tools on your plan the questions (prompts) you track and counts the answers that cite each page, like 21 of 90. ChatGPT is on Starter; Grow adds Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews; Scale adds Perplexity.

Can I share these numbers with a client or my boss?

Yes. Client report on the Analytics page prints the page from your browser, so you can save it as a PDF. Branded PDF reports with your own logo are on Agency.
