GEO Score
79
- Site readiness
- 47 Twelve checks on every page read.
- Recognition
- Well known Assistants already know Yahoo. They describe it from what they know, and these pages give them little of their own to quote.
- Shopping agents
- Not a shop.
Who assistants think this is
Yahoo
- Does
- News, email, search, finance
- Based in
- Sunnyvale, United States
- What the assistant knew beforehand
- Yahoo is a major American web services company founded in 1994, known for its web portal, email service, search engine, and news aggregation platform.
- Memory
- Recognised from the domain alone — Web services, email, search, news portal.
- Wikipedia
- 125 language editions.
- Maps
- No Google Maps listing is linked to this website.
What they can read
- Can an assistant get the page at all? robots.txt for the AI search and live-fetch crawlers, noindex, the canonical, the sitemap, and whether the content exists before JavaScript runs — the crawlers of OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity do not run it. A gate, not a merit: scored as its weakest check, and left out of the score when nothing is wrong. 70
- Can it parse what it got? Structured data (an Organization plus a type that says what the page is), one H1 and H2 sections, question headings with an answer beneath, landmarks, title, description and Open Graph tags. 40
- Is there anything worth quoting? Specific claims — years, prices, quantities, places — rather than adjectives any company could use; on an article, a byline, a date and links to sources. Plus a language model’s read of every page: what it could cite, and what the site does not state. 40
- Can it tell who is behind the site? Organization markup with sameAs links to verified profiles and a logo, an About link, a way to reach a person. On-page signals only — reputation is Recognition’s question. 25
- Is it current? The newest date among Last-Modified, <time>, Open Graph and schema dates. Event dates in the future do not count; an undated brand page is fine, an undated article is not. 57
The AI read
Yahoo is a major news and services portal. The home page is a JavaScript shell presenting a feed view with no readable text. The news section surfaces headlines from wire services and news outlets with bylines (Associated Press, ABC News, The Guardian, CBS News) and engagement metrics. A Products and Services page lists dozens of offerings — Mail, Finance, Search, Norton Security, LastPass, McAfee, and others — but provides no description of any service, pricing, features, or terms. An assistant arriving at the home page finds no citable information about Yahoo's business.
A news hub and services portal with no specific facts about Yahoo's own offerings or operations.
The Products and Services page could describe what each service does, when it launched, or what distinguishes it — currently it is a bare list of names.

- Quotable
- Nothing on this page the model would quote word for word.
Each page as our scanner fetched it, without running JavaScript — which is how the crawlers of OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity read. H1–H6 are headings, Q and A a question with the answer under it. A site that serves a named assistant something different is not visible from here.
Fix first · 6
The paths under a finding are the pages below the pass line — fix the template once and every page follows.
