AI Visibility Scorecard
DEC
decenergy.com · Nonprofits
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl DEC, 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 DEC
from our crawl and measurement
DEC describes itself simply: "It is District Energy Corporation's mission to provide LOW-COST, RELIABLE, and EFFICIENT thermal energy services to enhance and enable economic development of the community in Lincoln." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.2 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (WebSite), an llms.txt file for AI models and a sitemap.
AI crawlers have visited 3 times in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic) and Applebot (Siri).

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 4.2/10, DEC is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
