Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl First Base Freight, 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 First Base Freight
from our crawl and measurement
First Base Freight Shipping Agent, Import & Export, based in Bedford, describes itself simply: "First Base Freight is a UK-based shipping agent providing global import and export solutions, FCL, LCL and air freight arranged from any country to any country, with customs clearance." 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 (Organization, LocalBusiness, ImageObject) and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file and a sitemap.

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, First Base Freight is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
