AI Visibility Scorecard
basilsgarage.com · Automotive
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Basil's Garage, 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.

from our crawl and measurement
Basil's Garage is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Custom-built vehicles for off-road travel and surf exploration. Vehicle build shop in Vista, CA, authorized Four Wheel Camper and Go Fast Camper dealer." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 4.2 out of 10.
On its own pages the site does well on a clearly stated business identity, crawler access and the files AI engines look for and sitemaps and entity links AI can follow. It is passable on some structured data and a workable page structure. What holds it back is credibility markers like credentials or reviews.
Off the page, other sites link to it. There is some, but not much, sign that the domain is only lightly established. Beyond that, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business, there is no press coverage to draw on, nobody is discussing it where AI engines look and it does not come up on Reddit. None of that can be fixed on the page: it has to be earned.

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 4.2/10, Basil's Garage is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
