The crawler access matrix shows me the current state, which is great, but I'd love a time-series: how has GPTBot / PerplexityBot / ClaudeBot crawl volume to my site trended over the last few months? I want to see whether AI crawler interest in my content is growing, and correlate spikes with content I published. A snapshot tells me today; a trend tells me a story.
Historical AI crawler traffic graph, not just current snapshot

Really like this. We already persist analysis runs and crawler observations, so the underlying data to build a trend line largely exists — surfacing it as a time-series per crawler is the work. Correlating crawl spikes with your publishing calendar is a genuinely insightful use case; it's a leading indicator of AI interest that most tools don't show. Logged. It fits naturally alongside the citation-tracker trend so you could eventually see 'crawl volume up, citations followed' in one view. No date, but this is the kind of request that makes the roadmap better.
'Crawl volume up, citations followed' — seeing that cause-and-effect in one chart would be so satisfying and so useful for proving content strategy is working. +1.
