About Subway
from our crawl and measurement
Subway is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Discover customized sandwiches at Subway. Take a look at the sandwich menu, place your order online, find the nearest restaurant, order catering service, or purchase gift cards." Its AI visibility score is 5.4 out of 10: the engines can find it, but they do not have much to hold on to.
The gap is on the page itself: the site is missing structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file, a sitemap, which are the first things an answer engine looks for.
Our monitoring has logged 4 AI crawler visits here: the engines come, the question is what they find.
