Mulilo scores 44/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
Mulilo has a limited AI-visibility profile at 44/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is visibility (61/100) and its weakest is trust (22/100). It benefits from a recognised Wikipedia company entity, a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry and open access for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.). The main gaps holding it back: a low Moz Domain Authority of 26/100, thin schema.org structured data and no llms.txt to steer AI to its best pages. In a live check, Claude could already identify Mulilo from memory (October 2026) - a sign these signals are paying off.
