AI search referral traffic share calculator

Worked example

Identified AI referral share · 3%

See the formula

Identified AI referral sessions ÷ All sessions × 100.

How to interpret the result

Count sessions using the same attribution window. Missing referrer data can make measured AI referrals incomplete.

Publisher example

120 identifiable AI referral sessions out of 8,000 sessions is 1.5%. If a platform strips the referrer, the measured share misses those visits.
