The Brave Technologist

The Brave Technologist is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Technology is reshaping society, but how are users included in the conversation? The Brave Technologist explores how emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.9 out of 10.

On the page itself the strengths are clear: a clear heading structure and sitemaps and entity links AI can follow. It is passable on basic crawler access. 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, the domain reads as established, AI engines recognise it as a distinct business, it turns up in press coverage, people discuss it in places AI engines read and it comes up on Reddit.

AI crawlers have visited 4 times in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic) and GPTBot (ChatGPT). It does link out to several social profiles, which helps engines tie the brand together.
