Jake Swartz

Jake Swartz is a business whose own site puts it this way: "AsteriskSymbol showcases the architecture portfolio, undergraduate thesis, and resume of Jake Swartz, along with an online shop featuring products inspired by the thesis project." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is close to invisible, scoring 2.8 out of 10.

On the page it is passable on a workable page structure, a partly stated business identity and partial sitemap and link coverage. What holds it back is credibility markers like credentials or reviews, the technical files AI engines look for, such as llms.txt or an open robots.txt and structured data describing the business.

Off the page there is only faint evidence that only a handful of 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. Those are earned elsewhere on the web, not fixed on the site itself.
