Moz Domain Authority 33/100 vs category average 42 / leader 93 - limited third-party links, so AI systems rarely encounter mentions of the brand.
No Wikipedia presence was found - a major gap, since Wikipedia is among the most heavily weighted sources in AI training data.
The homepage meta description reads "「食」に関する情報、地域での取り組み、 メフォスでの働き方など、幅広い情報をご紹介します。" (Meta description too short (2 words). OG description present but brief) - this is the summary AI engines are most likely to quote.
Structured data on the homepage: og:title, og:description. Adding Organization and FAQ schema would further help AI crawlers parse the brand's identity.
AI-crawler access: No robots.txt found (default: all bots allowed, but explicit file preferred) - robots.txt controls whether engines like GPTBot and ClaudeBot can read the site at all.
Social footprint: verified profiles on Facebook, Instagram, GitHub; no detected presence on X (Twitter), LinkedIn, YouTube - consistent profiles reinforce the brand's identity across the web.
0 Reddit mentions - community discussion signals real-world reputation to AI models.

Mefos scores 17/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
Mefos 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 (27/100) and its weakest is trust (12/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry and open access for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.).

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