What would make Help Scout more AI-visible

1. Establish a Wikidata entity (and ideally a Wikipedia page) — the strongest free off-page signal that AI knows you.
2. Add more substantive server-rendered text.
3. Expose dateModified / last-updated dates — AI retrieval favors recent content.
4. Lead with a direct, answer-first summary of what you do.

This is a machine-readability / answer-readiness check: can AI crawlers read your page, is it structured the way AI answers favor, and does AI seem to know your brand. It measures the on-page factors you control — it is NOT a complete AI-citation prediction (off-page authority and third-party mentions also matter heavily) and not a live multi-engine citation score (that's measured separately).
