Dark Patterns

Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Dark Patterns, but the structured-data signals are thin - you are at real risk of being skipped when buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity for a recommendation.

About Dark Patterns
from our crawl and measurement
"Protect your online privacy and rights by learning about dark patterns and unethical designs. Stay informed and avoid manipulation in the digital world." That is how Dark Patterns introduces itself. To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.0 out of 10.
The site gets some of it right: it has structured data on the page (WebSite), a sitemap, a readable heading structure. What holds it back is what is absent, including an llms.txt file.

What this score means
Your AEO score measures whether AI search engines - ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini - can actually read your site and cite it in answers. Roughly two-thirds of sites are invisible to them. At 4/10, Dark Patterns is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
