How this service works
The attribution blind spots that make Google Search Console and referrer tools (Vercel Analytics, Plausible) permanently disagree for AI-assistant-driven discovery: AI Overviews blended into ordinary Performance data, the Gemini app as a separate host GSC never sees, and referrer-stripped AI traffic silently landing in 'Direct'. As-of 2026-07-13.
Output
The full text content of the Tenjin article detailing the three main attribution blind spots: AI Overviews blended into ordinary GSC Performance data, the Gemini app operating as a separate host invisible to GSC, and referrer-stripped AI traffic silently classified as Direct traffic in referrer-based analytics tools.
