Mary Hott - Devil in the Hills

Mary Hott is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Storytelling through music from Mary Hott with The Carpenter Ants. West Virginia coal camp stories from those who lived it." 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 and sitemaps and entity links AI can follow. It is passable on a partly stated business identity. 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.

Off the page there is only faint evidence that the domain is only lightly established. Beyond that, almost no other sites link to it, 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.

The site links to no social profiles, so there is nothing tying the brand to a wider presence.
