Hard Water Map
hardwatermap.com · Government & Public Sector
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Hard Water Map, 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 Hard Water Map
from our crawl and measurement
US Water Hardness Map County Data from 2.8M Tests describes itself simply: "Median water hardness (mg/L as CaCO₃) for 2,977 US counties, aggregated from 2,814,161 USGS/EPA Water Quality Portal measurements." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 3.8 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (Dataset, FAQPage, WebSite), 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 3.8/10, Hard Water Map is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there hard water in my area?
Three ways to find out. The map above is the picture — pan to your county or search your state. The ZIP lookup finds the utility serving your address, plus your county's measured hardness. And your county's row on its state page gives the measured median from local samples.
