AI Visibility Scorecard
Medium
katebeddow.medium.com · Sports & Recreation
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Medium, 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 Medium
from our crawl and measurement
Medium describes itself simply: "Words have power. Writer, coach, therapist and speaker. I work with women to create calmer, happier lives." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.2 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (Person) 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 4.2/10, Medium is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
