AI Visibility Scorecard
friendlyacademic.com · Education
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl friendly academic, 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.

"A friendly space for early career humanities and social sciences academics." That is how friendly academic introduces itself. To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 3.6 out of 10.
The site gets some of it right: it has a sitemap, a readable heading structure, substantial page content. What holds it back is what is absent, including structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file.

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, friendly academic is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.

PhD summer schools were a highlight for me during my studies. They were fun, insightful, and a great chance to connect with peers and academics. Each one had its unique vibe and focus, which was super helpful for my research.
