Auctions

Auctions is a business whose own site puts it this way: "ChatGET TEXT ALERTSGet Auction NotificationsBuyersSellersAboutContactHelpBlogBecome an Affiliatehomemore_vertAuctionsOpen Cal Auctions & Estate Sales was formed in 2011 to provide online." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.8 out of 10.

The page falls short on the technical files AI engines look for, such as llms.txt or an open robots.txt, sitemaps and entity links AI can follow, structured data describing the business, a heading structure that lays out what it offers, a clearly stated business identity and credibility markers like credentials or reviews.

Away from its own site, other sites link to it. There is some, but not much, sign that the domain is only lightly established and it barely surfaces on Reddit. 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. Those are earned elsewhere on the web, not fixed on the site itself.

There is not much on the page to read either, about 64 words. It does link out to several social profiles, which helps engines tie the brand together. The business dates to 2011.
