ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Ask a marketing leader how much of their traffic comes from ChatGPT, and you'll usually get the same response: a pause, then "we don't really know."
In this executive briefing, Charlie Marchant (CEO of Exposure Ninja) covers the AI attribution gap and what businesses can actually do about it.
Why "dark traffic" makes AI-driven visits invisible in Google Analytics
Setting up channel groups to track referrals from AI platforms
Auditing direct traffic for signs of AI-influenced buyer journeys
Manually checking visibility inside ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity
Using tools like Peec AI, Profound, and Scrunch AI to monitor AI visibility at scale
Why asking customers directly is still the most reliable source of truth
With ChatGPT now among the most visited sites in the world, more buyers are starting their research there long before a business sees them in analytics. Charlie breaks down why closing this gap matters for justifying AI Search investment to the board, and the practical changes marketing teams can make starting today.
