![]() Regardless, bot traffic is most likely not your target traffic when building your website, so being able to segment it out in Google Analytics is a major win for data quality indeed. Bots and crawlers come in different shapes and sizes - there are malicious agents as well as services that aim to do good. This solution should serve well to uncover the complexity of bot traffic on any given website. Perhaps someone could do the world a service and create a free, public API for polling this information? Until then, you’re stuck with an on-premise solution or, better yet, leveraging the cloud for setting up the API endpoint. It’s not trivial to implement, as it requires a web service to poll for the reCAPTCHA score. Since reCAPTCHA v3 calculates the score based on user interactions on the site, it’s a perfect candidate for measuring with Google Analytics, since we can surreptitiously collect the “bot-ness” of the visitor and leverage GA’s custom dimensions to collect the data. Thank you so much to Philipp and Sebastian for sharing their amazing idea here. ![]()
