Indexed is not ranked: what site: search actually shows
HumanoidPodium has many Google-indexed URLs. Viral humanoid 100 m queries still open with BBC, Reuters, and NYT. Here is the difference and what we publish instead.
A site:humanoidpodium.com search already returns the home page, rankings, methodology, sources, changelog, and language variants. That means Google knows the site exists. It does not mean we outrank wire desks for humanoid robot 100m world record.
On 2026-09-05 we rechecked that commercial query. The first screen was BBC, Reuters, The New York Times, DW, Al Jazeera, and social video. HumanoidPodium was not on that first screen. That is a ranking and authority problem, not a missing sitemap problem.
What we can control: evergreen FAQ pages that answer the claim with sourced rows, weekly /news notes, and outbound posts that point at the canonical ledger URLs. What we cannot control overnight: outranking BBC on a one-week viral headline.
Start with the Bolt FAQ page if you arrived from a headline, then the 100 m hub for the full table.
