Diary of an OTTB

Diary of an OTTB describes itself simply: "in OTTB Training on February 27, 2020 February 28, 2020 Share Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email I really enjoy doing groundwork with my off-track Thoroughbred." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.2 out of 10.

On the page itself the strengths are clear: 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, structured data describing the business 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. 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. Those are earned elsewhere on the web, not fixed on the site itself.

AI crawlers have visited 3 times in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic) and Applebot (Siri). It does link out to several social profiles, which helps engines tie the brand together.
