About Granola
from our crawl and measurement
"a monthly newsletter about place, books, and community. Click to read Granola, by Gracy Olmstead, a Substack publication with thousands of subscribers." That is how Granola introduces itself. Its AI visibility score is 6.7 out of 10: the engines can find it, but they do not have much to hold on to.
The site gets some of it right: it has a sitemap. What holds it back is what is absent, including structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file, a heading structure that lays out what it offers.

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 6.7/10, Granola has a working base to build on - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
