Track every AI bot
visiting your Ghost site
Know which AI engines read your Ghost blog — automatic tracking.
No code. No plugins. No theme edits. Works on any Ghost plan — free or paid.
Detected at the proxy layer — no script on your Ghost site
The problem
Ghost has no built-in AI bot analytics
Ghost is the modern publishing platform built for independent creators and professional blogs. Ghost blogs are among the highest-quality content sources on the web — and AI engines know it.
Long-form articles and newsletters on Ghost are frequently cited by Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Claude. Tracking which AI bots visit and which posts they read helps you prioritise your GEO content strategy.
AI bots Edgely detects
Identified via User-Agent at the proxy layer. AI bots don't execute JavaScript — traditional analytics miss them entirely.
Setup
3 steps. Under 5 minutes.
Zero code changes to your Ghost site — ever.
Add your domain to Edgely
Sign up at Edgely for free. Add your custom domain and paste your Ghost URL (e.g. yourblog.ghost.io) as the target. Add one CNAME record to your DNS registrar. Done — SSL provisions automatically.
Connect xSeek in one click
In the Edgely dashboard, open your domain and scroll to xSeek GEO Analytics. Paste your xSeek API key and website ID. Hit Connect. No code, no plugin, no Ghost theme edit.
AI visits tracked automatically
Every AI bot request — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Gemini, and 15+ others — is detected at the network layer and logged to xSeek. The tracking fires asynchronously: zero latency added to your page loads.
Everything included, nothing to install
Edgely + xSeek gives your Ghost site enterprise-grade GEO visibility in minutes.
AI Bot Detection
20+ crawlers detected at the proxy layer — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Gemini, and more. No JavaScript needed.
Zero Code Changes
Nothing to add to your Ghost site, theme, or templates. The tracking runs entirely in Edgely's edge middleware.
Zero Latency Impact
xSeek events fire asynchronously after the response streams. Your page load time is never affected.
Free SSL
Every custom domain gets a free Let's Encrypt certificate, auto-renewed. HTTPS included out of the box.
Works on Any Ghost Plan
Uses your *.ghost.io URL as the origin. No Ghost plan upgrade required.
