Mining the Sea

Mining the Sea is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Special thanks to Andrew Knopp, 2D Animator and Digital Artist in Future Learning and Development at University of Canterbury What do we do?." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 3.3 out of 10.

On the page it is passable on a workable page structure, a partly stated business identity and basic crawler access. What holds it back is structured data describing the business, sitemaps and entity links AI can follow 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.
