AI Visibility Scorecard
59steps
59steps.com · Media & Entertainment
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl 59steps, but the structured-data signals are thin - you are at real risk of being skipped when buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity for a recommendation.

About 59steps
from our crawl and measurement
59steps is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Steve Royston's blog about the UK, Middle East, world politics, social issues, and much else." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 4.9 out of 10.
Our crawl found a sitemap and a readable heading structure. It is missing structured data describing the business and an llms.txt file.
AI crawlers have visited once in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic).

What this score means
Your AEO score measures whether AI search engines - ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini - can actually read your site and cite it in answers. Roughly two-thirds of sites are invisible to them. At 4.9/10, 59steps is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
Freedom – sure, and then what?
by This is a post inspired by a cartoon on a lavatory wall. No, not that sort of cartoon, as I shall explain shortly. Actually, the one above. But first, those of you kind readers who wondered if the reason why my posts have dwindled from weekly to monthly to almost never, might be forgiven for thinking that this writer is incapable or dead.
Cash – the last refuge of scoundrels and little old ladies?
by There are many aspects of modern life that cause us to stop and think. Wildfires, electric cars, low-emission zones, not to mention the impact drones are having on modern warfare.
Self-service, or survival of the fittest?
