About Ball State University
from our crawl and measurement
"Founded in 1918 in Muncie, Indiana, Ball State University offers about 120 majors and 100 graduate degrees through seven academic colleges." That is how Ball State University of W. University Ave. Muncie, IN introduces itself. To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.9 out of 10.
The site gets some of it right: it has a readable heading structure. What holds it back is what is absent, including structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file, a sitemap.
AI crawlers have visited the site once in our tracking, so the engines are already looking.
