About Department of the Future
from our crawl and measurement
"Department of the Future is a Melbourne creative agency helping schools, universities and brands grow through strategy, design, content and integrated campaigns." That is how Home introduces itself. To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.9 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (WebPage, ImageObject, BreadcrumbList), a sitemap and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file.

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 4.9/10, Department of the Future is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
