Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Next, 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 Next
from our crawl and measurement
Next is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Next -- Navigate: choose your next step with clarity. A Foundation course in the DirectoryToolkit curriculum." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.6 out of 10.
Our crawl found an llms.txt file for AI models, a sitemap and a readable heading structure. It is missing structured data describing the business.
AI crawlers have visited once in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic).

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 4.6/10, Next is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this course your right next step?
This is for you if… You're at a crossroads and freeze instead of choosing. You want to read signals and decide on evidence, not emotion. You want a decision system, not gut-feel guessing. You're willing to commit and close the deliberation loop. You want real artifacts — a decision matrix, a transition playbook — not just content. This is NOT for you if… You want someone to make the hard call for you.
