Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Sports Illustrated, 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 Sports Illustrated
from our crawl and measurement
"Sports Illustrated, SI.com provides sports news, expert analysis, highlights, stats and scores for the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college football, soccer, fantasy, gambling and more." That is how Sports Illustrated introduces itself. When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 3.6 out of 10.
The site gets some of it right: it has structured data on the page (WebSite, BreadcrumbList, NewsArticle), a readable heading structure. What holds it back is what is absent, including an llms.txt file, 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 3.6/10, Sports Illustrated is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
