About Microsoft
from our crawl and measurement
Microsoft describes itself simply: ".NET is a developer platform with tools and libraries for building any type of app, including web, mobile, desktop, games, IoT, cloud, and microservices." Measured against the twelve signals AI engines rely on, it scores 7.6 out of 10, a strong showing.
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 7 times in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic), GPTBot (ChatGPT) and Meta AI.

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 7.6/10, Microsoft has a working base to build on - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
