About Gusto
from our crawl and measurement
Gusto works in Finance & Insurance. To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is partially visible, scoring 6.0 out of 10, readable in places, missing in others.
Almost none of the machinery AI engines read is present, including structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file, a sitemap.
AI crawlers have visited the site 5 times in our tracking, so the engines are already looking.
