I audited 45 recent Show HN launches. The result surprised me:
64% have no structured data (JSON-LD), which means ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cannot identify or cite them. They are functionally invisible to AI search.
51% have no /llms.txt. Only 29% had zero critical issues.
For a decade "being found" meant Google's blue links. A growing slice of discovery now happens when an AI answer engine picks a few sources to name, and it picks the ones it can parse and trust. Most launches optimized for the old game and did nothing for the new one. The bar is low and the fix is quick.
Full breakdown + the exact fixes (free):
