About DuckDuckGo
from our crawl and measurement
DuckDuckGo describes itself simply: "The Internet privacy company that empowers you to seamlessly take control of your personal information online, without any tradeoffs." Its AI visibility score is 5.6 out of 10: the engines can find it, but they do not have much to hold on to.
Our crawl found a sitemap. It is missing structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file and a heading structure that lays out what it offers.
AI crawlers have visited once in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic).
