AI Visibility Scorecard
FirstReader
firstreader.app · Media & Entertainment
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl FirstReader, 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 FirstReader
from our crawl and measurement
FirstReader™ describes itself simply: "The alpha reader your manuscript needs before anyone else reads it. Reads every chapter, ties each note to your own pages. Free chapter analysis, no card." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 3.9 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (WebSite, Organization), a sitemap and a readable heading structure. It is missing 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 3.9/10, FirstReader is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
