Getting started

Four pages, in order.

Four pages, in order. Following them end to end takes about five minutes, and you should not have to leave this section to finish.

  1. Add your first site — what a site is, and what the domain field is checked against

  2. Install the script — where the snippet goes, and the one-line version for people who already know

  3. See your first visit — the "waiting" state, how long it should take, and what to do if it does not flip

  4. What to look at first — a short tour of the dashboard in the order the numbers become useful

Before you start

You need a TrueStat account. Signing up starts a 14-day trial with no card, on the entry plan. The trial is the full product — AI crawler reporting included — not a reduced version of it. There is no free tier after the trial; see Plans compared.

You also need somewhere to paste a line of HTML into the <head> of your site. If your platform has no way to do that, Installing TrueStat has a page for most of the common ones, including the platforms where the head field is locked behind a paid plan.
