Roofing Direct has a weak AI-visibility profile at 9/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is recommendation likelihood (30/100) and its weakest is visibility (0/100). It benefits from open access for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.).
