College Sanity
collegesanity.substack.com · Education
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl College Sanity, 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 College Sanity
from our crawl and measurement
College Sanity describes itself simply: "Higher education demystified. Come for an insider's look at admissions and financial aid, stay for some (occasionally snarky) analysis about how higher education actually works." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.8 out of 10.
Our crawl found a sitemap. It is missing structured data describing the business, 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 4.8/10, College Sanity is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
