Verbolia is able to log and track Googlebot visits thanks to how Vpages are hosted and served.

Vpages are hosted on Verbolia’s infrastructure (e.g., https://customer.backend.verbolia.com/path/keyword) and are served on your domain thanks to a reverse proxy setup (e.g., https://www.customer.com/path/keyword).

Because all traffic passes through Verbolia’s servers, we can log every request, including those made by search engine crawlers like Googlebot. By analyzing the user-agent of each incoming request, we can reliably identify and filter visits made by Googlebot or other search engine bots.

This setup enables precise monitoring of search engine indexing activity and can which is valuable for reporting and performance tracking.
