Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl The First Step, 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 First Step
from our crawl and measurement
"We aim to support, treat and empower survivors What is a SANE Exam?SANE exams are completed within 5 days, or 120 hours, of abuse taking place." That is how The First Step introduces itself. When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 3.5 out of 10.
The site gets some of it right: it has structured data on the page (WebSite, LocalBusiness), a sitemap, a readable heading structure. What holds it back is what is absent, including an llms.txt file.

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 3.5/10, The First Step is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
