Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl The Stray, 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 Stray
from our crawl and measurement
The Stray, based in Grand Rapids, MI, describes itself simply: "The Stray is a comfortable coffee-shop environment where guests can enjoy artisan foods, espresso, and pastries all while they take in the sights and sounds of an eclectic rotation of both." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 3.9 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (Restaurant, WebSite), an llms.txt file for AI models and a sitemap.
By its own structured data it is a restaurant business.
