AI Visibility Scorecard
steps

Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl steps, 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 steps
from our crawl and measurement
steps, based in Houghton, NY, describes itself simply: "© 2024 STEPS Dance Studios 112 1/2 Main Street 53 W Main Street Wellsville, NY Fillmore, NY (607) 382-2554 (607) 382-2554 bottom of page." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.4 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (LocalBusiness, WebSite), an llms.txt file for AI models and a sitemap. It is missing a heading structure that lays out what it offers.
AI crawlers have visited once in our tracking, including Applebot (Siri).

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 4.4/10, steps is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
