cmhoists.com · Manufacturing & Industrial
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl cmhoists.com, 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 cmhoists.com
from our crawl and measurement
cmhoists.com is a Charlotte, NC business whose own site puts it this way: "Columbus McKinnon's portfolio of trusted worldwide brands can help you safely and efficiently move your materials, and business, forward." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.9 out of 10.
Our crawl found a readable heading structure. It is missing structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file and a sitemap.

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 4.9/10, cmhoists.com is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
