Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl The Backflow Depot, 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 The Backflow Depot
from our crawl and measurement
The Backflow Depot, based in Rocklin, CA, describes itself simply: "Northern California's trusted source for backflow prevention parts, freeze bags, and equipment. Authorized dealer for Watts, Febco, Wilkins, Apollo/Conbraco, Ames, and Deringer." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.0 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (LocalBusiness), an llms.txt file for AI models and a sitemap.
AI crawlers have visited once in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic).

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 4/10, The Backflow Depot is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
