Rusthead

Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Rusthead, 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 Rusthead
from our crawl and measurement
"At Rusthead Design, we believe that great design should be accessible." That is how Rusthead introduces itself. To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.6 out of 10.
On the page it is passable on a workable page structure and basic crawler access. What holds it back is a clearly stated business identity, sitemaps and entity links AI can follow, structured data describing the business and credibility markers like credentials or reviews.
Away from its own site, other sites link to it. There is some, but not much, sign that 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. Those are earned elsewhere on the web, not fixed on the site itself.

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 4.6/10, Rusthead is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
