What you see
What does BrandViz.AI read from Cloudflare?
BrandViz.AI reads hourly crawler analytics for your Cloudflare zone and turns them into an AI traffic view: which AI crawlers reached your site, how many requests each made, and how that changes over time. Cloudflare returns hourly totals rather than individual requests, so there is no per-URL detail, and everything shown is still accurate at the zone level.
Which crawlers came
AI crawlers identified in your zone analytics, so you can tell the retrieval crawlers behind live answers apart from training-corpus crawlers.
How often, by the hour
Hourly totals per crawler, accumulating from the moment you connect, so a drop or a spike is visible against the history.
More on paid plans
Cloudflare exposes more analytics dimensions on paid plans, and BrandViz.AI reads whatever your plan provides. The Free plan still gives you the crawler picture.
Filter and exclude
Filter to one crawler or exclude the training crawlers nobody can act on, the same two verbs Cloudflare’s own analytics use.
Safety
Is it safe to connect BrandViz.AI to Cloudflare?
Yes. The Cloudflare connection is read-only analytics for one zone. BrandViz.AI cannot change DNS, WAF or bot rules, caching, redirects, Workers or any other setting, and never sees your origin credentials.
What BrandViz.AI can do
- Read hourly crawler analytics for the zone you approved.
- Identify AI crawlers in that data and show request volumes over time.
- Show connection health, including the difference between connected and receiving data.
What BrandViz.AI can never do
- Change DNS, WAF rules, bot management, caching, redirects, Workers or any other zone setting.
- Read individual requests or request bodies. Cloudflare provides hourly totals, and that is all BrandViz.AI receives.
- Reach any other zone or your Cloudflare account settings.
- Be changed by read-only portal viewers.
After approval
What do you see once data arrives?
Once data arrives, the AI traffic view in BrandViz.AI sits beside your visibility report, so a mention or citation gap and the crawl behaviour behind it are read together. If the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity are barely reaching your zone, that is the first problem to solve, before any more content is written.
Crawl activity, by the hour
Totals accumulate from the hour you connect, giving you a record of AI crawler behaviour at the zone level you did not have before.
Blocks made visible
A WAF or bot-management rule that turns away AI crawlers shows up as traffic that stops or never starts, which explains a citation gap no content fix can close.
Fixes checked against reality
After a fix ships and is approved, the traffic view shows whether AI crawler activity on your zone changed in the weeks that followed.
Connecting
How does BrandViz.AI connect to Cloudflare?
BrandViz.AI connects to Cloudflare in one click from Integrations: approve Cloudflare’s consent screen and BrandViz reads the zone’s analytics from then on. No zone IDs, no API tokens. Works on every Cloudflare plan, including Free.
- 1
Choose Cloudflare under Integrations
In BrandViz.AI, open Integrations and select Cloudflare in the AI crawler logs section. Vercel sits alongside it for sites hosted there.
- 2
Approve in Cloudflare’s consent flow
A popup opens on Cloudflare. You approve read access to analytics for the zone, and BrandViz takes it from there. No other permission is requested.
- 3
Analytics arrive on the hour
Cloudflare’s analytics API returns hourly totals rather than individual requests, so the view fills in hour by hour from the moment you connect.
- 4
Health is reported honestly
The panel shows connected and receiving data as separate states, so a broken connection is never mistaken for a quiet site.
Cloudflare is one of two read-only sources. The other is Vercel, which streams per-request logs and needs a Pro or Enterprise plan. Sites on both can connect both.
Before you ask
How soon does data arrive?
Vercel streams requests within minutes, and Cloudflare fills in hour by hour. History starts when you connect.
Does it touch my site or slow it down?
No. BrandViz.AI reads logs or analytics after the fact. Nothing is installed on your pages.
What if the connection breaks?
Connected and receiving data are separate states, so a stream that stopped is reported rather than mistaken for a quiet site.
Frequently asked questions
What does BrandViz.AI access in my Cloudflare account?
BrandViz.AI reads analytics for the one zone you approve in Cloudflare’s consent flow, and nothing else. It cannot change DNS, WAF rules, caching or any other setting, and it cannot see other zones or your account settings. It works on every plan, including Free. Disconnect from Integrations at any time and reading stops.
Why is there no per-page detail?
Cloudflare’s analytics API returns hourly totals rather than individual requests, so BrandViz.AI can show which AI crawlers reached your zone and how often, but not which URL each request fetched. Everything shown is still accurate. If you also host on Vercel, connecting Vercel adds per-request detail down to the page.
Does it work on the Cloudflare Free plan?
Yes. The Cloudflare connection works on every plan, including Free. Paid plans expose more analytics dimensions, and BrandViz.AI reads whatever your plan provides, so the view gains detail if you upgrade. Nothing about the connection itself changes between plans, and it stays read-only on all of them.
Can BrandViz.AI unblock an AI crawler in Cloudflare for me?
No. The connection is read-only, so it shows you that crawler traffic has stopped rather than changing a rule. When a WAF or bot-management setting is the cause, BrandViz.AI tells you which crawlers are affected and the change to make, in your activity feed. Your team makes the change in Cloudflare, where zone settings belong.
