Mike Austin | Internal Art Medical Illustration

Mike Austin describes itself simply: "Experienced medical illustrator creating accurate surgical, anatomical, and medical device illustrations for education, marketing, and medical-legal projects." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.6 out of 10.

On the page it is passable on a partly stated business identity, basic crawler access and partial sitemap and link coverage. What holds it back is structured data describing the business, a heading structure that lays out what it offers 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 once in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic). The site links to no social profiles, so there is nothing tying the brand to a wider presence.
