MACA has a weak AI-visibility profile at 37/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is trust (48/100) and its weakest is recommendation likelihood (27/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry, a global traffic rank of #3,889,014 (Tranco) and open access for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.). The main gaps holding it back: no clear Wikipedia entity to anchor it in LLM training data, a low Moz Domain Authority of 32/100 and no llms.txt to steer AI to its best pages. In a live check, Claude could already identify MACA from memory (October 2026) - a sign these signals are paying off.
