Year of the Novel

Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Year of the Novel, 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 Year of the Novel
from our crawl and measurement
Year of the Novel is a business whose own site puts it this way: "One year. One novel. One writer figuring it out as she goes. Click to read Year of the Novel, by Meghan Yager, a Substack publication. Launched 9 months ago." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.8 out of 10.
What holds it back is structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file, a sitemap, the first things an answer engine looks for.

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 4.8/10, Year of the Novel is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
