Direct Tasks

In a direct task the bot skips searching and opens your URL immediately. Use it for referral traffic, social traffic, or plain page views. (Not SEO-effective like search engine mode.)

Direct task

Website / Page URL

The address the visitor should open.

Social Media (referrer)

Make visitors look like they came from another site: pick a social network or enter any referrer website. The selected referrer is placed in the browser's request headers, so every analytics tool attributes the visit to it. Only available in direct mode.

note

Referrer traffic looks like social/referral visits — it doesn't carry the SEO weight of a search click. If your goal is rankings, use Search Engine Tasks instead.

Session behavior

The same options as search engine tasks:

  • Delay on the main webpage — session duration (From–To seconds).
  • Scroll — scroll the page like a reader.
  • Visit Other Webpages — dwell time, number of pages per session, target bounce rate, and internal/external link choice.
