Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl The Simmons Lab, 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 The Simmons Lab
from our crawl and measurement
"The Simmons Lab at the University of Exeter. We use data science and technology to help understand and reverse biodiversity loss. Lead by Benno Simmons." That is how The Simmons Lab introduces itself. When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 3.2 out of 10.
On its own pages the site does well on a clear heading structure and crawler access and the files AI engines look for. It is passable on a partly stated business identity. What holds it back is structured data describing the business, credibility markers like credentials or reviews and sitemaps and entity links AI can follow.

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 4/10, The Simmons Lab is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
