thepastbeforeus.com · Education
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl The Past Before Us, 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 Past Before Us
from our crawl and measurement
The Past Before Us describes itself simply: "Dr Isaac McIvor Archaeologist and Senior Lecturer at the University of Otago sharing my passion for archaeology and cultural heritage in Aotearoa New Zealand." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 3.5 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 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 3.5/10, The Past Before Us is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
