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
Free Software Downloads and Reviews for Windows, Android, Mac, and iOS is a San Francisco, CA business whose own site puts it this way: "CNET Download provides free downloads for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android devices across all categories of software and apps, including security, utilities, games, video and browsers." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 4.5 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (Organization) and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file and a sitemap.
