{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Differentiate AI-driven engagement from mere indexing by tracking three signals separately: 1) AI retrievals \u2014 when the AI pulls content from your Public Business Brain and Q&A network; 2) conversation citations \u2014 explicit references to your proofs within AI outputs; 3) AI-driven referrals \u2014 sessions initiated by AI recommendations that land on your content. Present these on distinct dashboards, anchored to versioned facts and proofs, and link changes to the Change Log. This separation helps you measure credible AI visibility and guides governance across languages and locales, rather than conflating indexing with actual engagement.","answer_source":"approved_business_brain_plus_current_intelligence","category":"Reporting and Analytics","category_slug":"reporting-and-analytics","created_at":"2026-10-07T19:35:09+00:00","daily_publish_cap":5,"date_published":"2026-10-07","display_date":"2026-10-07","drip_batch":"daily_otc_mixed_intelligence_layer","drip_status":"published_topup","editor_images":[],"editor_media_build":"","editor_videos":[],"id":"otc-daily-20261007-d38f86f8","image_ids":[],"image_url":"","last_updated":"2026-10-07T19:36:51+00:00","local_cache_status":"pending_airtable_sync","publish_status":"published","published":true,"published_at":"2026-10-07T19:35:09+00:00","question":"How can we practically distinguish AI-mode referrals from crawler indexing in dashboards, and what metrics should we add?","question_intent":"natural_otc_conversation","rss_enabled":true,"rss_pub_date":"Wed, 07 Oct 2026 19:35:09 GMT","scheduled_for":"2026-10-07T19:35:09+00:00","schema_enabled":true,"site_key":"owntheconversationonline","slug":"how-can-we-practically-distinguish-ai-mode-referrals-from-crawler-indexing-in-dashboards-and-what-metrics-should-we-add","source":"daily_qa_otc_current_intelligence","source_queue_id":"","source_record_ids":[],"source_type":"daily_qa_otc_current_intelligence","source_urls":["https://auracite.de/content/research/state-of-ai-visibility-2026.html","https://www.lucievisibility.com/"],"status":"active","tags":["metrics","retrievals","citations","referrals","daily OTC conversation","current intelligence","daily drip"],"updated_at":"2026-10-07T19:36:51+00:00"}
