AI Visibility Scorecard
stateofhackathons.com · Technology
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Hackathon Radar, 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.

from our crawl and measurement
State of Hackathons 2026 describes itself simply: "Discover and track hackathons worldwide. The global hackathon database." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.5 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (WebSite, Organization, SiteNavigationElement) and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file and a sitemap.

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 4.5/10, Hackathon Radar is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
