About Sous
from our crawl and measurement
"Sous connects households with vetted personal chefs and private chefs in New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas for weekly meal prep and special occasion dinners." That is how Sous introduces itself. When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 3.22 out of 10.
On its own pages the site does well on structured data describing the business, a clear heading structure, crawler access and the files AI engines look for and sitemaps and entity links AI can follow. It is passable on a partly stated business identity and a few credibility markers.
Off the page, other sites link to it. There is some, but not much, sign that the domain is only lightly established and it barely surfaces on Reddit. Beyond that, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business, there is no press coverage to draw on and nobody is discussing it where AI engines look. None of that can be fixed on the page: it has to be earned.

What this score means
Your AEO score measures whether AI search engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) can read your site and name it in answers. At 3.22/10, Sous is near-invisible to AI engines today. That is fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
Why your brand doesn't show up in ChatGPT answers (and how to fix it)
ChatGPT doesn't crawl the web like Google does. When someone asks Claude about the best project management tools, the model isn't searching your website in real-time. It's pulling from training data that stopped months or years ago.
