Mad Science
madsciences.substack.com · Other
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Mad Science, but the structured-data signals are thin - you are at real risk of being skipped when buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity for a recommendation.

About Mad Science
from our crawl and measurement
Mad Science is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Thoughts and ideas in science and philosophy from someone living at the edge of reality. Click to read Mad Science, by Erick Wales, a Substack publication. Launched 2 years ago." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.7 out of 10.
The site is missing structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file and a sitemap.

How to Get Your Company Named by ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude
