Cult of the Rats

Cult of the Rats describes itself simply: "Cult of the Rats is the online homepage for everything rat-related in the New Orleans area and beyond." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 3.8 out of 10.

On the page itself the strengths are clear: crawler access and the files AI engines look for. It is passable on a workable page structure and partial sitemap and link coverage. What holds it back is structured data describing the business, a clearly stated business identity and credibility markers like credentials or reviews.

Off the page there is only faint evidence that only a handful of sites link to it. Beyond that, the domain does not yet read as established, 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. Those are earned elsewhere on the web, not fixed on the site itself.

There is not much on the page to read either, about 141 words. It does link out to several social profiles, which helps engines tie the brand together.
