Away from its own site, other 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.

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.
