Skat-Trak has a weak AI-visibility profile at 25/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is trust (49/100) and its weakest is visibility (0/100). It benefits from open access for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.) and machine-readable schema.org markup.
