02 · What you can borrow

Lightning SEO Keywords, Sitemap Pages & AI Referrals

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

Pages · daily Sitemap diff — 124 pages added in 26 days

Pages listed in the Sitemap grew 6.3% over 26 days, from 1,968 listed URLs to 2,092 listed URLs.

  • Other page paths+104
  • /hi/dictionary+8
  • /hi/voice-library+5

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

Search · source keywords — Non-brand terms bring 19% 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

1.1K visits from AI assistants (previous month 1.3K), 0.9% of all traffic.

  • ChatGPT84%

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

Know the next time Lightning ships pages in bulk

Method: visits and channel shares are third-party monthly estimates; channel change = monthly visits × channel share, month over month; site actions and traffic are shown by timing only, not as cause and effect.
