AI Visibility Scorecard
BBC News
jonathanboylan.com · Media & Entertainment
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl BBC News, 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 BBC News
from our crawl and measurement
BBC Home is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Visit BBC for trusted reporting on the latest world and US news, sports, business, climate, innovation, culture and much more." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.3 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (WebPage) 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 4.3/10, BBC News is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
