Planet Hunters TESS

Planet Hunters TESS is a business whose own site puts it this way: "With your help, we are going to find planets that will help us understand how these extrasolar systems form and evolve over time." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is partially visible, scoring 6.7 out of 10, readable in places and missing in others.

On the page itself the strengths are clear: a clear heading structure. It is passable on basic crawler access and 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.

Away from its own site, other sites link to it, AI engines recognise it as a distinct business and people discuss it in places AI engines read. There is some, but not much, sign that the domain is only lightly established. Beyond that, there is no press coverage to draw on and it does not come up on Reddit.

AI crawlers have visited once in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic). It does link out to several social profiles, which helps engines tie the brand together.
