AI Search Traffic Pipeline in Analytics
A dedicated channel group in analytics that isolates sessions arriving from generative engines, so their engagement and revenue can be reported separately.
Analogy Mental model
Opening a separate register at the till for customers carrying a recommendation, so at month end you know exactly what that group spent.
In practice What you actually do
Create a custom channel group whose source condition matches the assistant domains by regular expression, then move it above the default referral and organic rules, because the platform assigns each session to the first rule that matches.
Where people get burned Pitfalls
Once the rule is live, a distinct line appears in reporting the same day. Almost nobody configures it, which is why the channel is so widely assumed to be negligible.
