I ran an AI-visibility audit (llms.txt, agents.md, structured data, crawlability for AI agents/answer engines) against Pieter Levels' entire public portfolio — 11 sites, including Nomad List, Remote OK, Photo AI, Interior AI, and levels.io itself.
Average score: 53.6/100. Median: 65.
Ranking (site — score):
Remote OK — 70
Photo AI — 70
Interior AI — 70
levels.vc — 70
Nomad List — 65
MAKE — 65
levels.io — 50
Go Fucking Do It — 45
Hotelist — 40
pieter.com — 25
Vibe Jam — 20
0% of the 11 sites have an llms.txt or llms-full.txt file. 0% have an agents.md. This is one of the most technically sophisticated indie hacker portfolios that exists, built by someone who ships constantly and cares about growth channels — and it still scores worse than average on the specific thing that determines whether AI agents and answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude) can actually find, parse, and recommend these products.
Not a knock on Pieter — this is close to the norm right now. It's an early, wide-open channel most builders (including very good ones) haven't looked at yet.
