Interesting addition to Wiki Tree. It's called Content Rank. It seems Google picks and chooses what you see in a Google search from all the profiles in Wiki Tree. This ranking helps you improve the chances of others seeing this profile in their search.
From Wiki Tree: "Six months ago we introduced Content Rank (CR) and have been successfully using it on the back-end to improve "SEO" (Search Engine Optimization). Content Rank is now fairly good at replicating how Google determines whether to include a profile in search results when someone is searching for information on a person. This means you can use it to see how to make a profile more visible to cousins and descendants.
Until now, CR data was only available to advanced members through WikiTree+. Now you can see it:
In the profile data box, next to where you see the profile manager (non-members won't see it, and neither will members outside the Trusted List unless the profile is Open).
On your Watchlist. This is where it will be particularly helpful because you can now sort your Watchlist by CR.
If you click on the CR number it will show you the exact component scores that are combined to assign the Content Rank. For example, you may see "Images: 0" if the profile has no photos or source images. If you were to add a couple, you could add 20 or 30 points and meaningfully boost the profile's CR -- and its likelihood of appearing in Google search results, ChatGPT, etc."
