Making the Middle
makingthemiddle.com · Education
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Making the Middle, 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 Making the Middle
from our crawl and measurement
Parenting Middle Schoolers, Tweens & Teens describes itself simply: "Real tools and real talk for parents of middle schoolers, tweens, and teens. Created by therapist Kara Friedman with 25+ years of experience. Make the most of the middle school years." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 4.0 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (WebPage, ImageObject, BreadcrumbList), a sitemap and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file.
