Alternative Data for Investing

Alternative Data for Investing describes itself simply: "AltIndex downloads and analyzes company data from across the internet and aggregates it in an easy-to-use dashboard." Measured against the twelve signals AI engines rely on, it scores 7.4 out of 10, a strong showing.

On its own pages the site does well on a clear heading structure, crawler access and the files AI engines look for and sitemaps and entity links AI can follow. What holds it back is 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 and it comes up on Reddit. 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 and nobody is discussing it where AI engines look. 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). It does link out to several social profiles, which helps engines tie the brand together.
