AEO / measurement
Measure successful understanding, not page volume.
Public content uses stable event labels and referral classes. Production analytics configuration must avoid source content, credentials, job IDs, and full query strings.
Discovery
Track search impressions and clicks by canonical page class, plus observable answer-engine referral hosts. Report totals, not user-level source activity.
Documentation completion
Track quickstart entry, API-reference use, OpenAPI download, and the next documented step. A completion is a sequence, not a scroll-depth vanity metric.
Install conversion
Measure installation-guide visit to OAuth start, consent completion, and successful getmd_capabilities call. Separate host and scope outcome without storing token material.
Activation
Measure first successful API call and first successful agent job as server-side aggregate events. Exclude source URLs, filenames, output text, bearer credentials, and private identifiers.
Quality guardrails
Review thin-page ratio, canonical errors, structured-data validity, capability drift, documentation test failures, and support tickets alongside traffic.
