About Why They Started
from our crawl and measurement
"Everyone has a story.But not every story gets heard." That is how Why They Started introduces itself. When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 3.4 out of 10.
The site gets some of it right: it has a readable heading structure. What holds it back is what is absent, including structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file, a sitemap.
