What gets measured

What is inside Claude tracking?

Claude tracking is added as an optional engine, and inside it the scores sit next to every other engine in the same panel.

Visibility and rank

Your visibility and rank on Claude are tracked per question: does Claude mention your brand, at which position? Weekly score with per-question history.

Framing analysis

Framing analysis shows which adjectives Claude uses for your brand. Positive, neutral or negative framing is labeled and collected on the perception page.

Search sources

Sites read in web-search answers are listed. Your B2B content and PR targets become concrete.

Cross-engine comparison

The cross-engine comparison puts your Claude score next to ChatGPT and Gemini. You work on whichever engine you are weakest in.

Competitor comparison

How visible are competitors on the same questions? We compare on brand-free questions only, so nobody gets inflated by their own branded queries.

Source analysis

Source analysis shows which sites the engine read before answering. We rank the most cited domains, so your content and PR targets become concrete.

How we count is public: our methodology page explains every metric and its limits. With little data we show a confidence band instead of a score. We do not sell fake precision.

How Claude tracking differs from traditional rank tracking

Claude tracking differs from traditional rank tracking because Claude has no results page to scrape. A classic tool records where a URL sits for a keyword. Here the unit is an answer: which brands Claude names for a buying question, in what order, and which pages it read when it searched the web.

Which Anthropic bots decide what Claude can read

Three Anthropic bots decide what Claude can read, and Anthropic's help center gives each one a separate job:

Bot Job Effect of disabling it
ClaudeBot Collects web content that could contribute to model training Your future pages are excluded from training datasets
Claude-User Fetches pages when a Claude user asks a question May reduce your visibility for user-directed web search
Claude-SearchBot Indexes content to improve search result quality May reduce your visibility and accuracy in search results

Each bot gets its own user-agent line in robots.txt. A training opt-out through ClaudeBot leaves the two search agents untouched.
