FreeTimes has a weak AI-visibility profile at 17/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is recommendation likelihood (45/100) and its weakest is visibility (0/100).

In a live check (October 2026), Claude could not identify FreeTimes from memory, confirming the gaps above.
