What We Track

When someone clicks through from a Featured Snippet or AI Overview, the URL they land on includes a special pattern like :~:text=Some%20Text. This tells your browser to scroll to and highlight a specific piece of text on your page.

Example URL:

https://yourwebsite.com/article/:~:text=How%20to%20Track%20Traffic

The :~:text= part means Google is linking directly to highlighted text on your page, usually from a Featured Snippet or AI Overview. We capture this information to show you what was cited.

How it works

1. Detect citations
When visitors arrive via text fragment links from AI Overviews, Featured Snippets, or AI Mode, we automatically detect and capture the highlighted text.
2. View in your dashboard
See all captured snippets and attribution in your dashboard. We can also push this data to GA4 or your endpoint if you prefer.
3. Optimize content
See which highlighted snippets drive conversions; edit content to increase AI visibility and revenue.

Privacy & Security

Automatic Data Sanitization
We automatically remove sensitive patterns like passwords, API keys, tokens, credit cards, and SSNs from citations before storage. Your data is protected by design.
Privacy-First Architecture
No cookies, no IP storage. IP addresses are used only temporarily for geolocation and then discarded. View Privacy Policy →
