About 500ish
from our crawl and measurement
"A collection of posts by M.G. Siegler of around 500 words in length." That is how 500ish introduces itself. Its AI visibility score is 5.4 out of 10: the engines can find it, but they do not have much to hold on to.
The site gets some of it right: it has structured data on the page (Organization). What holds it back is what is absent, including an llms.txt file, a sitemap, a heading structure that lays out what it offers.
Our monitoring has logged 2 AI crawler visits here: the engines come, the question is what they find.
