AI Visibility Scorecard
Bank Rate
mainebankrates.com · Finance & Insurance
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Bank Rate, 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 Bank Rate
from our crawl and measurement
Bankrate Compare Mortgage Rates & Financial Products is a West Palm Beach, FL business whose own site puts it this way: "Compare today's mortgage rates, savings accounts, credit cards, and more. Bankrate helps you find the best rates from hundreds of banks and credit unions, free, unbiased, and updated daily." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 4.9 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (WebPage, Organization) 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 4.9/10, Bank Rate is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
