Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Essential Merch, 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 Essential Merch
from our crawl and measurement
Essential Merch describes itself simply: "Founded by a team of merch and record manufacturing experts, we support our clients with conceptualising new lines or custom pieces on top of providing high quality manufacturing services." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.2 out of 10.
Our crawl found a readable heading structure. It is missing structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file and a sitemap.
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 4.4/10, Essential Merch is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
