02 · What you can borrow

Mintlify SEO Keywords, Sitemap Pages & AI Referrals

Mintlify’s acquisition moves across pages, search terms and AI referrals, each with its data source.

Pages · daily Sitemap diff — 52 pages added in 12 days

Pages listed in the Sitemap grew 4% over 12 days, from 1,301 listed URLs to 1,353 listed URLs.

  • /docs+38
  • Other page paths+7
  • /blog+5

Borrow: Generate pages of this kind from data you already have (see /docs) to capture long-tail search.

Search · source keywords — Non-brand terms bring 0% of search traffic

Non-brand terms are traffic anyone can compete for; higher CPC means higher commercial value.

Borrow: Search traffic is mostly branded, riding existing awareness; the non-brand needs it does not cover are open to you.

AI referrals · ChatGPT, Copilot… — AI referrals are early — not a growth source yet

795 visits from AI assistants (previous month 5.9K), 0.2% of all traffic.

  • ChatGPT12%
  • Gemini90%

Borrow: No need to follow yet; watch whether it scales next month.

Know the next time Mintlify ships pages in bulk
