About SoCal CTO
from our crawl and measurement
"Through these experiences, I’ve become increasingly convinced that early to mid-stage companies need to stop being locked into full-time executive hires (especially CTOs) and in most cases." That is how SoCal CTO introduces itself. To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.2 out of 10.
Our crawl found a sitemap and a readable heading structure. It is missing structured data describing the business and an llms.txt file.
AI crawlers have visited 2 times in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic) and Meta AI.

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 4.2/10, SoCal CTO is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
A full-time CTO in an early-stage company?
To start to answer this, let me take you back to one of my early experiences. I was an early hire at a couple of software startups in a senior software role. While my title implied executive, the reality was that there was some early strategy work but then I was quickly spending all my time being a team lead and coding. I was really good at both leading developers and coding, but my passion was the strategy.
How Does the Fractional CTO role work?
Let me go back to my personal journey. So it’s the midst of the dot-com boom (later to be known as the “dot-com bubble”). I’ve been in a CTO role at a couple early stage companies that turned out to really be a team lead/developer role.
