AI Visibility Scorecard
First Gear
firstgearvanlife.com · Media & Entertainment
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl First Gear, 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 Gear
from our crawl and measurement

That is how First Gear slow-living vanlife introduces itself. To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 3.6 out of 10.
Our crawl found a sitemap and a readable heading structure. It is missing structured data describing the business and 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 3.6/10, First Gear is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.

We do promise you that you are not alone in this. We want to inspire you (and ourselves!) to grab the roadmap once in a while to check if we’re still going somewhere.
