02 · What you can borrow
CircleCI SEO Keywords, Sitemap Pages & AI Referrals
CircleCI’s acquisition moves across pages, search terms and AI referrals, each with its data source.
Search · source keywords — Non-brand terms bring 9.7% of search traffic
Non-brand terms are traffic anyone can compete for; higher CPC means higher commercial value.
| Keyword | Traffic | CPC | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| circleciBrand | 8.4K | $3.48 | 1 |
| circle ciBrand | 3.1K | $2.48 | 2 |
| github statusNon-brand | 830 | $3.87 | 3 |
| webhookNon-brand | 460 | $1.23 | 4 |
| circleci statusBrand | 440 | — | 5 |
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
1.2K visits from AI assistants (previous month 2.7K), 0.1% of all traffic.
- ChatGPT38%
- Claude5.1%
- Gemini1.1%
Borrow: No need to follow yet; watch whether it scales next month.
