from our crawl and measurement
(the) Developer Advocate describes itself simply: "Published by Ryan Boyd on April 25, 2026 There’s a take making the rounds right now: DevRel is shifting into developer GTM. No, it’s not." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 2.57 out of 10.
Our crawl found a sitemap and a readable heading structure. It is missing structured data describing the business and an llms.txt file.
AI crawlers have read this profile 4 times in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic).

What metrics are valuable?
The only perfect metrics are those that point up and to the right at an increasing rate. Okay, in all seriousness, metrics for DevRel on open source projects are super challenging, but modern day cloud APIs/services are much easier to measure when developers are authenticated.
Do you need to report up a single metric?
While I have fought tooth-and-nail over this with past leaders, I do actually think it is valuable to place a single goal that everyone on the team is running towards and communicate it up. However, I would only do this when that metric is simple, represents the work of the team well, and not easily manipulated. Otherwise, I would choose up to 3 metrics and regularly report on those.
How about having DevRel in a sales org?
No, DevRel never belongs in sales. DevRel is a long game, and sales is driven by short-term lead/opp/closing targets — all sales leaders will be tempted to reach these targets by involving some of their most talented technologists in DevRel, and that comes at the expense of our real long-term goals.
ChatGPT doesn't crawl the web like Google does. When someone asks Claude about the best project management tools, the model isn't searching your website in real-time. It's pulling from training data that stopped months or years ago.
