Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Hefner Law, 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 Hefner Law
from our crawl and measurement
Hefner Law, based in Sacramento, CA, describes itself simply: "Since its founding in Sacramento, California in 1896, Hefner, Stark & Marois, LLC has advised clients ranging from individuals and small businesses to major corporations and financial." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.0 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (WebPage, BreadcrumbList, WebSite) and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file and a sitemap.
AI crawlers have visited 9 times in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic), Applebot (Siri) and Meta AI.

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 4/10, Hefner Law is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
