About Locus
from our crawl and measurement
Locus describes itself simply: "The magazine of the science fiction, fantasy, and horror field with news, reviews, and author interviews." Measured against the twelve signals AI engines rely on, it scores 7.0 out of 10, a strong showing.
Our crawl found a sitemap. It is missing structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file and a heading structure that lays out what it offers.
AI crawlers have visited 8 times in our tracking, including GPTBot (ChatGPT), ClaudeBot (Anthropic) and Meta AI.

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 7/10, Locus has a working base to build on - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
