60/100 AI-readiness

www.snapchat.com (official site, from public records) · can the AI crawlers read the site? Checked by code, not by a model.

AI assistants can read pages when answering (robots.txt):No answer-time fetcher is fully blocked; ChatGPT (OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User), Claude (Claude-User, Claude-SearchBot), Perplexity (PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User), Google AI Overviews and AI Mode (Googlebot) are kept out of parts of the site.
AI models may train on the site (robots.txt):OpenAI (GPTBot), Anthropic (ClaudeBot), Google Gemini (Google-Extended), Common Crawl (CCBot), Apple (Applebot-Extended), Meta (Meta-ExternalAgent), ByteDance (Bytespider) are blocked, so future versions of these models will not learn about the brand from its own pages (Common Crawl feeds many models' training sets). A deliberate choice for many brands: it does not stop assistants reading the site when answering, but what they know from memory then comes from other people's pages.

One live question to one assistant, asked by PollyX on Oct 15, 2026 and asked again about once a month. Assistants answer differently every time, so this is a sample, not a score. The full check asks 12 buyer questions of nine assistants and records every page each one reads. How AI visibility is measured

Is Snapchat the first recommendation, and how is it described?

That was one question to one assistant. The full check asks nine assistants 12 buyer questions each, shows where Snapchat is first, listed or absent, who is named instead, which pages the assistants read, and what to publish to change it.
