Alan Clay

Alan Clay describes itself simply: "The official site for Alan Clay's writing, and in particular his book, Angels can Fly, 'a Modern Clown User Guide'." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 4.5 out of 10.

On the page it is passable on basic crawler access and partial sitemap and link coverage. What holds it back is a heading structure that lays out what it offers, a clearly stated business identity, credibility markers like credentials or reviews and structured data describing the business.

Off the page, other sites link to it. There is some, but not much, sign that the domain is only lightly established. Beyond that, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business, there is no press coverage to draw on, nobody is discussing it where AI engines look and it does not come up on Reddit. None of that can be fixed on the page: it has to be earned.

AI crawlers have visited once in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic). The site links to no social profiles, so there is nothing tying the brand to a wider presence.
