Busbud
busbud.us · Travel & Hospitality
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Busbud, 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 Busbud
from our crawl and measurement
Busbud is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Save money on travel with Busbud by comparing bus prices, routes, and schedules in one place and booking affordable tickets online with ease." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.3 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (WebSite) and a sitemap. It is missing an llms.txt file and a heading structure that lays out what it offers.

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 4.3/10, Busbud is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
