About Nikolai Barkats
from our crawl and measurement
"Nikolai Barkats is an environmental journalist whose work has been featured by The Inertia, Red Canary Magazine, and other outlets." That is how Nikolai Barkats introduces itself. To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 3.1 out of 10.
The site gets some of it right: it has structured data on the page (WebSite), a sitemap, a readable heading structure. What holds it back is what is absent, including an llms.txt file.
