About The Nine
from our crawl and measurement
The Nine, based in Tuscaloosa, AL, describes itself simply: "An AI-native digital agency. Strategy, design, development, and deploy, with agents doing the heavy lifting and senior people accountable to outcomes." Its AI visibility score is 5.4 out of 10: the engines can find it, but they do not have much to hold on to.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (Organization, WebSite), a sitemap and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file.
AI crawlers have visited once in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic).
