About Google Business

from our crawl and measurement

Google Business is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Promote your business and products with Merchant Center. Drive sales, reach more customers, and increase traffic to your ecommerce site or storefront." Measured against the twelve signals AI engines rely on, it scores 8.2 out of 10, a strong showing.

Our crawl found structured data on the page (FAQPage) and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file and a sitemap.

AI crawlers have visited 9 times in our tracking, including GPTBot (ChatGPT), Meta AI and ClaudeBot (Anthropic).

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 8.2/10, Google Business has a working base to build on - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
