AI Visibility Scorecard
About The Start
aboutthestart.com · Education
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl About The Start, but the structured-data signals are thin - you are at real risk of being skipped when buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity for a recommendation.

About About The Start
from our crawl and measurement
About The Start describes itself simply: "Tristan de Montebello helps you successfully and rapidly learn new skills that will make you happier and stronger in the process." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 4.0 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (WebSite, CollectionPage) and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file and a sitemap.
AI crawlers have visited 2 times in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic) and Applebot (Siri).

Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Guess What This Student is Doing Wrong (guitar)?
This post comes from a 2-part series from my newsletter. Last week I asked you to listen to a 15-second recording of one of my students playing guitar. Your mission was to guess what he was doing wrong. If you didn’t do it last week, give it a quick try before reading on.
What are you ALMOST good at?
It took me two years to publish my first good article. I’m not joking. 24 months. I went through dozens of drafts and a ton of feedback before I finally hit “publish”. I can’t say that I’ve since become a great writer – far from it – but I’ve definitely Crossed The Threshold. These days when I sit […] Continue reading...Tristan de Montebello July 29, 2016
Why is this fucking thing not working?
A friend teaches you a great shortcut on your computer. You can clearly see how it’ll make your life better. You try it a few times before moving on with your work, happy you’ve learned something new. A few days later it’s as if that moment never existed. The shortcut is only a distant memory.
