About Hakia
from our crawl and measurement
Hakia is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Hakia is the semantic search engine for degree programs. Describe what you want to study and Hakia finds the accredited programs that fit, by meaning, ranked on real outcomes like cost." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is partially visible, scoring 6.6 out of 10, readable in places and missing in others.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (Organization, WebSite, Person) and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file and a sitemap.
AI crawlers have visited 2 times 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 6.6/10, Hakia has a working base to build on - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hakia?
Hakia started as a semantic search engine in 2004, building AI that could understand the meaning behind search queries. The domain was relaunched in 2023 as a technology education platform. Today we rank 1,704+ accredited degree programs across 20 technology fields and all 50 US states, using federal data from IPEDS and BLS.
How does Hakia rank degree programs?
Our rankings use a 4-factor composite scoring model: program completions (35%), graduation rate (25%), selectivity (20%), and career outcomes (20%). All data comes from federal sources, and our methodology is fully transparent. No school can pay for a higher ranking.
What data sources does Hakia use?
We use three primary federal data sources: the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) for enrollment, graduation, and tuition data; the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS OEWS) for salary and job growth data; and the College Scorecard for post-graduation earnings outcomes.
Is Hakia connected to the original semantic search engine?
No. The domain was acquired in 2023 by a new team with no connection to the original company. We chose to honor the domain's technology heritage by building a data-driven education platform focused on technology fields.
Is this information free to use?
Yes. All rankings, career guides, and salary data on Hakia are free to access with no account required. We're supported by advertising from education partners, but advertising never influences our rankings or editorial content.
