Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl CNET, 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 CNET
from our crawl and measurement
CNET describes itself simply: "Get full-length product reviews, the latest news, tech coverage, daily deals, and category deep dives from CNET experts worldwide." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 4.3 out of 10.
Under the hood there is structured data on the page (Organization, WebSite, ImageObject) and a readable heading structure and substantial page content, but the score is capped by what is missing: an llms.txt file, 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 4.3/10, CNET is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
