Carmichael Training Systems

Carmichael Training Systems, based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, describes itself simply: "Carmichael Training Systems, or CTS, offers personalized coaching for cycling, ultrarunning, triathlons, and more. We connect athletes with coaches that help them reach their goals." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is partially visible, scoring 6.8 out of 10, readable in places and missing in others.

On the page itself the strengths are clear: structured data describing the business, a clear heading structure, a clearly stated business identity, crawler access and the files AI engines look for and sitemaps and entity links AI can follow. What holds it back is credibility markers like credentials or reviews.

Away from its own site, other sites link to it and it comes up on Reddit. There is some, but not much, sign that the domain is only lightly established and there is little discussion of it. Beyond that, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business and there is no press coverage to draw on.

AI crawlers have visited once in our tracking, including GPTBot (ChatGPT). It does link out to several social profiles, which helps engines tie the brand together. The business dates to 2000.
