Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Performance Engine and Machine, 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.

AEO Score
from our crawl and measurement
Performance Engine and Machine, based in Middleton, WI, describes itself simply: "The leader in Hi-performance engine builds and machining. Full state-of-the-art machine shop and 3 Dynos on site to serve your every need." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 3.3 out of 10.
On its own pages the site does well on a clearly stated business identity. What holds it back is a heading structure that lays out what it offers, the technical files AI engines look for, such as llms.txt or an open robots.txt, sitemaps and entity links AI can follow, structured data describing the business and credibility markers like credentials or reviews.
Off the page there is only faint evidence that only a handful of sites link to it and the domain is only lightly established. Beyond that, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business, there is no press coverage to draw on, nobody is discussing it where AI engines look and it does not come up on Reddit. None of that can be fixed on the page: it has to be earned.

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 3.3/10, Performance Engine and Machine is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
