Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl KiCad, 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 KiCad
from our crawl and measurement
"Open source PCB design / electronics CAD software for Windows, macOS and Linux. Use schematic capture, create PCB designs and view them in 3D, all forever free." That is how KiCad introduces itself. To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.2 out of 10.
On the page itself the strengths are clear: a clear heading structure and sitemaps and entity links AI can follow. It is passable on some structured data, a partly stated business identity, a few credibility markers and basic crawler access.
Off the page, almost no other sites link to it, the domain does not yet read as established, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business, there is no press coverage to draw on, nobody is discussing it where AI engines look and it does not come up on Reddit. Those are earned elsewhere on the web, not fixed on the site itself.
The site links to no social profiles, so there is nothing tying the brand to a wider presence.

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