About Independence Happens Here
from our crawl and measurement
Home describes itself simply: "We shop our favorite independent stores, eat at the neighborhood family-owned restaurants and get our kids a treat at the local ice cream parlor." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 4.0 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (WebPage, ImageObject, BreadcrumbList) and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file and a sitemap.

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, Independence Happens Here is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
