About Buddy
from our crawl and measurement
Buddy Get your SBA loan package built and matched to the right lender describes itself simply: "Buddy is the world's first Loan Operations System. Intake, documents, verification, underwriting, compliance, communication, and decisions, end to end." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.2 out of 10.
Our crawl found a sitemap and a readable heading structure. It is missing structured data describing the business and 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 4.2/10, Buddy is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
