About The Friend Method
from our crawl and measurement
The Friend Method describes itself simply: "Know the room before you walk in. AI meeting-prep briefs reasoned against a real 25-year methodology and 21 industrial verticals. Try a free brief." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 1.55 out of 10.
Our crawl found a sitemap and a readable heading structure. It is missing structured data describing the business and an llms.txt file.
AI crawlers have read this profile 3 times in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic).

What this score means
Your AEO score measures whether AI search engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) can read your site and name it in answers. At 1.55/10, The Friend Method is near-invisible to AI engines today. That is fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
Why your brand doesn't show up in ChatGPT answers (and how to fix it)
ChatGPT doesn't crawl the web like Google does. When someone asks Claude about the best project management tools, the model isn't searching your website in real-time. It's pulling from training data that stopped months or years ago.
