📉 Most journals aren’t in Google’s Knowledge Graph — so AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity & Google miss them as “authoritative.”

❌ No sameAs links or schema
✅ Add author sameAs, schema on issues/collections, structured notes.

Letting Google crawl your site’s internal search results = letting it dig through your junk drawer.
🚫 Crawl loops
🚫 Empty pages
🚫 Duplicate junk

Bad for SEO. Bad for AI discovery.
✅ Block search URLs in robots.txt.
✅ Clean up crawl logs.

Make Google find the good stuff, not the scraps.

Journals have the content AI loves:
🎙️ Podcasts
📂 Collections
👤 Author pages

But if Google & ChatGPT can’t see them? They don’t exist.
👉 AI can’t read JavaScript.
👉 Hidden content = invisible content.

Surface it. Structure it. Make it count.

📌 Why zero-click + data loss should change your KPIs
📌 How SEOs can lead the charge in AI search
