Google Attribution, Evolved

We’re also redefining how Google traffic is attributed because not all Google clicks are the same. Until now, all Google traffic appeared as Traffic Medium = Search.

Starting today:

  • If Google sends a user to your homepage, it’s tracked as Traffic Medium = Direct & Traffic Source = Google
  • If it lands on a section or article, it’s still Traffic Medium = Search

Why? Homepage visits often signal brand intent, not discovery. This change helps you isolate owned demand from earned traffic—crucial for understanding brand strength in a world of disappearing direct intent.

No Setup Needed. It’s Live.

Open your analytics. Filter by "AI" medium. Start uncovering where the future of your traffic is coming from.
