Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl YIMBY Action, 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 YIMBY Action
from our crawl and measurement
YIMBY Action, based in San Francisco, CA, describes itself simply: "Yes to Communitiess We're a network of people who advocate for abundant, affordable housing and inclusive, sustainable communities across the United States." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.3 out of 10.
Under the hood there is a readable heading structure, but the score is capped by what is missing: structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file, a sitemap.

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 4.3/10, YIMBY Action is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
