About The Counter
from our crawl and measurement
The Counter describes itself simply: "The Counter is independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan newsroom investigating the forces shaping how and what America eats." Its AI visibility score is 6.7 out of 10: the engines can find it, but they do not have much to hold on to.
Under the hood there is structured data on the page (Organization, WebSite, ImageObject) and a readable heading structure and substantial page content, but the score is capped by what is missing: an llms.txt file, a sitemap.

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 6.7/10, The Counter has a working base to build on - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
