About Play with the Machine
from our crawl and measurement
"Play with the Machine Skip to content AboutArchives « Older posts Make it yourself: A Thing-O-Matic Case Study By gavin | Published: September 3, 2011 Makerblock receives a gift of colored." That is how Play with the Machine introduces itself. To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is partially visible, scoring 5.6 out of 10, readable in places, missing in others.
The site gets some of it right: it has a readable heading structure. What holds it back is what is absent, including structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file, a sitemap.
AI crawlers have visited the site 2 times in our tracking, so the engines are already looking.
