Moz Domain Authority 37/100 vs category average 51 / leader 100 - limited third-party links, so AI systems rarely encounter mentions of the brand.
No Wikipedia presence was found - a major gap, since Wikipedia is among the most heavily weighted sources in AI training data.
The homepage meta description reads "New Zealand" (Meta description too short (2 words). No OG description (falling back to meta)) - this is the summary AI engines are most likely to quote.
Structured data on the homepage: No structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Adding Organization and FAQ schema would further help AI crawlers parse the brand's identity.
AI-crawler access: robots.txt present, no AI bot restrictions - robots.txt controls whether engines like GPTBot and ClaudeBot can read the site at all.
Social footprint: verified profiles on X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, GitHub; no detected presence on LinkedIn - consistent profiles reinforce the brand's identity across the web.
0 Reddit mentions - community discussion signals real-world reputation to AI models.

Sky Sport scores 23/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
Sky Sport has a weak AI-visibility profile at 23/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is recommendation likelihood (45/100) and its weakest is trust (12/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry 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 37/100 and thin schema.org structured data. In a live check, Claude could already identify Sky Sport from memory (October 2026) - a sign these signals are paying off.
The score combines seven dimensions - name quality, digital presence, visual identity, messaging clarity, trust foundation, AI discoverability, and brand authority - into a single objective benchmark.
