Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl HCD Lab, 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 HCD Lab
from our crawl and measurement
"top of pageABOUTPAST EVENTSA place for professionals to connect and experience design, creativity, and collaboration.What is the HCD Lab?The Human-centered Design Lab (HCD Lab) is a." That is how HCD Lab introduces itself. To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.3 out of 10.
On the page itself the strengths are clear: crawler access and the files AI engines look for. It is passable on a workable page structure and partial sitemap and link coverage. What holds it back is structured data describing the business, a clearly stated business identity and credibility markers like credentials or reviews.
Off the page there is only faint evidence that only a handful of sites link to it. Beyond that, the domain does not yet read as established, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business, there is no press coverage to draw on, nobody is discussing it where AI engines look and it does not come up on Reddit. Those are earned elsewhere on the web, not fixed on the site itself.
The business dates to 2024.

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 4.3/10, HCD Lab is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
