CostRule
costrule.com · Home & Living
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl CostRule, 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 CostRule
from our crawl and measurement
CostRule is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Installed-cost ranges for U.S. home improvement work, built from federal wage data and dated retailer prices, with the formula and the sources on every page." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 3.5 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (Organization, WebSite, WebPage), an llms.txt file for AI models and a sitemap.

What this score means
Your AEO score measures whether AI search engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) can read your site and name it in answers. At 3.5/10, CostRule is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does each flooring material cost installed?
4 materials Below is the national average per square foot installed for each material, August 27, 2026. Each card opens a page with its own calculator, size bands, grades with named reference products, and a table of labor cost by state. The bar under each range is that material's average split into material, labor and the extras the standard method needs.
What part of the price moves with your state?
Flooring labor costs more in some states than in others, and it is the only part of the bill that moves with your address. The Installed-Cost Index sets the national level at 100 and measures each state against it: 48 states across the two flooring trades, built from the federal wage release rather than from quotes. The five highest and the five lowest are below.
How does a number get on this site?
Material, labor and the extras a job carries are calculated separately and then added. Nothing is copied from another cost site. Price the material. List prices for real products, read at named retailers on a stated day. The grade bands are percentiles of those prices, not a rounded guess around one of them. Price the labor.
Why can you check these numbers yourself?
Three things every page here does. None of them is a promise about us: each one is visible on the page itself. Federal wage data.

How to Get Your Company Named by ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude
When a buyer asks ChatGPT which company to use, two different things can happen. ChatGPT can name a company in its answer. Or it can link to a web page as a source. Most advice about AI visibility is about the second one. Our data says the first one is what matters.
