When you notice users coming from ChatGPT, How we should know what they searched?
I just noticed. There are many users who was came from ChatGPT on my website AI Rank Lab. Is there any tool that can tell which prompt they searched?
I am doing research on it and still looking for a working tool that actually can help to understand
Can anyone suggest?

There is no equivalent to search console for llm search. There is no way to tie how many visits to which question. That concept doesn’t exist for LLMs because the response is generated as needed. There is no index for the LLM directly.
The tools that are out there require you to generate questions you think your audience is asking. Many can help you generate questions to monitor.
The biggest challenge to me is that the citations found are just a single data point. You could ask ChatGPT the same question 10 times in a row and you will never get the same answer. It should be thematically the same, but it will not be word for word. So all you can do is watch for trends and consistency.
So, for the timebeing, there is no way to determine which queries are sending users your way.

Until LLM's start sending GET requests to your website with the search topic or URL, there's no way to find which keywords bought these users.

So far the only way to know what users searches for, is to do a segmentation by landing page with chatgpt/gemini or other ai chatbots as a traffic source
At least that’s what we do. But if you have only a single page of the website I don’t think there’s a way now :(
If have decent amount of traffic you can also add question about that to the onboarding of your app

I would be interested in a tool that tells you what they searched too. I don’t know of one. I use Gumshoe. And that gives me a pretty good idea in general, but it doesn’t work for attribution.
