Weak AI visibility with 3 of 10 criteria passing. Biggest gap: llms.txt file.
Verdict
1degree.org has solid crawl basics (HTTPS, robots.txt, and a large sitemap) but is missing core AEO signals such as `llms.txt` and Schema.org structured data. FAQ content exists in page templates, yet no machine-readable FAQ/QA markup was detected and `/faq` serves the same Angular app shell as other routes. Internal linking is fairly strong, but AI-crawler directives and explicit entity trust details are limited. Prioritizing `llms.txt`, JSON-LD, and AI-specific robots rules would materially improve discoverability in AI answer engines.

Guides for the criteria with the most room for improvement
Tidio has a 251-line llms.txt. Crisp has zero. The score gap: +29 points. This single file tells AI assistants exactly what your site does -and without it, they're guessing.
Tidio runs 4 JSON-LD schema types. Crisp runs zero. That's not a coincidence -it's the difference between a 63 and a 34. Structured data is the machine-readable layer AI trusts most.
Most sites run default platform robots.txt with zero AI-specific rules. That's not a strategy -it's an accident. Explicit Allow rules for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot signal that your content is open for citation.
AI has a trust hierarchy for sources. At the top: proprietary data and first-hand expert analysis. At the bottom: rewritten Wikipedia articles. We've watched AI preferentially cite sites with original benchmarks -even over bigger competitors.
