About Scientific American
from our crawl and measurement
Scientific American, based in New York, NY, describes itself simply: "Scientific American is the essential guide to the most awe-inspiring advances in science and technology, explaining how they change our understanding of the world and shape our lives." Its AI visibility score is 6.8 out of 10: the engines can find it, but they do not have much to hold on to.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (WebSite, NewsMediaOrganization) and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file and a sitemap.
AI crawlers have visited 2 times in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic) and Meta AI.
