AI Visibility Scorecard
mitchbarns.com · Technology
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl The Second Half, 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.

"For The Second Half, Mitch Barns draws from his learning and experience from his career's first half, living and working in a variety of business leadership roles in the USA, Europe, and." That is how The Second Half introduces itself. When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 4.0 out of 10.
On its own pages the site does well on a clear heading structure and crawler access and the files AI engines look for. It is passable on partial sitemap and link coverage. What holds it back is a clearly stated business identity, credibility markers like credentials or reviews and structured data describing the business.
Off the page, 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. None of that can be fixed on the page: it has to be earned.
AI crawlers have visited 2 times in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic). The site links to no social profiles, so there is nothing tying the brand to a wider presence. The business dates to 2019.

Your AEO score measures whether AI search engines - ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini - can actually read your site and cite it in answers. Roughly two-thirds of sites are invisible to them. At 4/10, The Second Half is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
What Governs?
Every well-run business or team requires governance. Governance comes in two main forms: formal controls and social norms. If a business is well-governed, then some combination of these two will provide the governance required. Let’s take a look at each. Formal controls: These are the rules, policies, and procedures established to ensure control and order.
