JIANRUNTECH / GEO-SCORE

The state of
AI visibility

324 well-known sites, scored on whether an AI answer engine can find, parse, trust and cite them. One open rubric, one public tool, up to eight pages per site: 66 sites were scored on fewer than four pages and are marked thin sample. Nothing here is a black box — re-run it yourself.

A quarter of the field is unreadable to AI crawlers

73 sites have a gate check at zero — a retrieval crawler cannot get the content, so nothing else on the page matters. Three very different problems live inside that number.

DELIBERATE — 20

Their robots.txt disallows AI retrieval crawlers by name. A site that does not want to be quoted is not misconfigured, and this rubric reports it as it is.

aftership.com, amazon.com, arstechnica.com, drugs.com, ebay.com, elegoo.com, figma.com, healthline.com, jdcloud.com, june.so, kuehne-nagel.com, lexisnexis.com, mercadolibre.com, notion.com, phoronix.com, qcloud.com, techcrunch.com, theregister.com, theverge.com, wired.com

DELIBERATE OR ACCIDENTAL — 12

The server refuses crawler user-agents. The probes carry the crawlers' user-agent strings but come from the auditor's own address, unverified, so a server that checks a crawler by its IP address may refuse them and still serve the real crawler. From outside, a policy and a bot-protection default look the same.

ACCIDENTAL — 41

Body copy only exists after JavaScript runs. The content is there and a browser sees it; a retrieval crawler gets an empty shell. This group almost certainly did not choose it. 30 of them were scored on fewer than 4 pages.

Sites in the five China sectors score 22 points lower — median 36 against 58 for everyone else. Grouped by the language a site serves instead, Chinese-language sites score 26 lower; within matched sector families the gap runs from -8 to 27 points. 69% of it sits in checks the tool reads with a heuristic, so at most that much could be the tool reading Chinese pages conservatively rather than the sites.

Where everyone lands

Bars are counts of sites per ten-point band. The rubric is not graded on a curve; this is the distribution that falls out of it.
