About Hair of the Dog... A Pet Salon
from our crawl and measurement
Hair of the Dog... A Pet Salon, based in Asheville, NC, describes itself simply: "Since 1999, HoTD has been South Asheville's cage free oasis for top notch dog grooming, daycare, and 24 hour supervised boarding." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 2.39 out of 10.
On the page itself the strengths are clear: a clear heading structure and a clearly stated business identity. It is passable on some structured data and basic crawler access. What holds it back is credibility markers like credentials or reviews and sitemaps and entity links AI can follow.
Away from its own site, other 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.
AI crawlers have read this profile 3 times in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic) and PerplexityBot.

What this score means
Your AEO score measures whether AI search engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) can read your site and name it in answers. At 2.39/10, Hair of the Dog... A Pet Salon is near-invisible to AI engines today. That is fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
Why your brand doesn't show up in ChatGPT answers (and how to fix it)
ChatGPT doesn't crawl the web like Google does. When someone asks Claude about the best project management tools, the model isn't searching your website in real-time. It's pulling from training data that stopped months or years ago.
