Do visitors from ChatGPT actually convert?
Mark the actions that matter, such as sign-ups and demo requests, as key events in GA4, then compare the AI Assistant channel and your custom AI source group with other channels. Look at key events per session, not just visit counts. Volumes are often small, so read the result as a direction, not a verdict.
Free to read, no signup. Nova adds AI visitors to your conversion view.
What GA4 documents
Straight from Google's Analytics Help. Volumes from AI assistants may be small, so treat early results with care.
Any event can be a key event
GA4 says any event you collect can be marked as a key event, and key events appear in reports such as Landing pages and User acquisition.
GA4 key eventsCompare by channel
GA4's default channel group includes AI Assistant, so you can compare it with Organic Search, Direct and others, and add a custom group for sources it misses.
