GA4 and Search Console, set up for you
Proofsource connects Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console for your brand and does the setup itself: it creates the analytics setup and checks the tag is live on your site, adds and verifies your site in Search Console and submits your sitemap. Then it syncs both, computes lift and shows index health. It is for teams who want AI traffic numbers without a week of setup.

Analytics setup for AI search tracking, explained
To measure what AI search does for your business you need two Google tools working properly. Google Analytics 4 records visits and conversions, including the visits AI assistants send. Google Search Console shows how Google indexes your pages and how they perform in Google search, which also feeds Google AI Overviews.
Many sites have neither, or have them half set up: a tag missing on some pages, a property nobody can access, a site never verified, a sitemap never submitted. Every gap means numbers you cannot trust later.
Proofsource treats connection as setup. When you connect, it sets up GA4 and checks the tag on your site, adds and verifies your site in Search Console and submits your sitemap, and ties each confirmed domain to the right analytics. From then on it syncs both sources, computes conversion lift and shows index health, so AI referral and funnel numbers rest on a sound base.
How it works
Proofsource sets up Google Analytics 4 and Search Console for your domain, checks the tag, submits your sitemap and then measures lift and index health.
Add your domain
Add each domain you own and confirm it. Proofsource binds it to its analytics.
Set up Google Analytics
One click sets up GA4 for the domain, then Proofsource checks that the tag is found on your site and events are flowing.
Set up Search Console
Proofsource adds the site, verifies it and submits your sitemap.
Sync and measure
Both sources sync on a schedule, and you see conversion lift, organic clicks and index health.

Questions about GA4 and Search Console setup
Do I need Google Analytics to track AI referral traffic?
For visits and conversions, yes: GA4 records the sessions AI assistants send. If you do not have it, Proofsource can set it up for your domain and check the tag on your site.
What does the tag check do?
It confirms the Google Analytics tag is actually found on your site and that events are flowing, so missing pages are caught before you rely on the numbers.
What does Proofsource do in Search Console?
It adds your site, verifies it and submits your sitemap, then syncs Search Console data and shows index health.
Why does Search Console matter for AI search?
Google AI Overviews draw on pages Google has indexed. Index health and organic clicks show whether your pages are in a position to be used at all.
What is conversion lift?
It compares conversions over time once both sources are synced, so you can see whether the change follows the AI visibility work you shipped.
Can I connect more than one domain?
Yes. Add and confirm each domain, such as your main site and blog, and Proofsource binds each one to its analytics.
Will Proofsource change my existing analytics?
If you already have GA4 it reads it. Setup steps run only when you choose to set up Google Analytics or Search Console through Proofsource.
How is this different from GA4 integrations in Peec AI or Writesonic?
Those connect existing GA4 and Search Console accounts and use the data well. Proofsource can also do the setup itself, checking the tag, verifying the site and submitting the sitemap, so a brand without either can start measuring the same day.
