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. Two-thirds of websites are invisible to them. Joshua Trappler just got measured.

6/10 means Joshua Trappler is somewhat visible. AI bots can read you, but you are missing the structured signals that would push citation rate above competitors.
