Already named in most star-map answers. Missing from gift ideas.

1. First

   Write the anniversary guide by year that your site does not have

   What we found

   Gift questions that do not say “star map” are where Picture the Stars is missing everywhere: 0 of 6 app answers to “Unique personalised anniversary gift ideas UK”, and 1 of 40 API answers to the five broad gift questions, although 24 of those 40 suggest a star map as a gift.

   ChatGPT app0/2Google AI Overview0/2Perplexity app0/2OpenAI API0/3Perplexity API0/3Anthropic API0/2

   Your blog is read: your star-map articles (“Personalised star maps UK”, “Why star maps look similar”, a how-to on capturing the night sky) are cited in 9 API answers. Your broad gift guides never are: Top Personalized Gift Ideas for Everyone You Care about (December 2024), 6 Good Gifts to Get Your Girlfriend for Any Occasion (October 2024), Personalised Wedding Gift: How to Pick One That Lasts (May 2026, returned five times as a search source for the delivery question, never cited) and Day You Were Born Gifts (June 2025). Nor are your three anniversary articles, all about star maps only (December 2022, June 2024, September 2024).

   What the answers to the anniversary question cite instead: The Night Sky's Best Personalized Anniversary Gifts (2026 Guide), in 3 app answers (Perplexity twice, ChatGPT once) and 4 API answers to it (plus 1 to a star-map question); in the Perplexity app it brought The Night Sky's name with it. It is organised by anniversary year, dated (updated March 2026), with a FAQ that opens with “What is the best personalised anniversary gift?”. Other guides cited for this question are also by year or by occasion: Vale Crafted's “wedding anniversary gifts by year” and Max Photo's “best personalised anniversary gift ideas”.

   The change

   Not one more general list: the page you do not have, an anniversary guide organised by year, at picturethestars.co.uk/blog/personalised-anniversary-gift-ideas/, titled “Personalised Anniversary Gift Ideas by Year (2026 UK Guide)”, dated and kept up to date:

   • the traditional theme of each milestone year (paper, cotton, leather, wood, tin, silver, ruby, gold) with two or three personalised ideas for each, star and moon maps where they fit and other kinds of gift where they fit better;
   • how to choose: the date, the place, the wording, the budget, delivery time;
   • a short FAQ that answers the broad questions themselves: the best personalised anniversary gift, the traditional theme for a given year, how to put a date on a gift;
   • links from /anniversary-star-map/ and from the three existing anniversary articles, and a line in llms.txt.

   Why first

   It is the largest gap we measured, on every surface. We cannot see why an engine picks one page over another; what we can see is that the page it picks for this question is an anniversary guide by year, and that your site has none. That makes it a test worth running, not a certainty. It is also the most work of the three, which is why the ready-to-publish change is the second.

   How we check it

   Done: the guide is live, dated, in the sitemap and linked from the anniversary page. Effect: the anniversary question and the four other broad questions next month, in the apps and through the APIs, and whether the guide appears among the cited or returned sources.

2. Second, ready to publish

   Give the new-baby question a page of its own

   What we found

   “Personalised star map for a new baby's birth date, UK” is the star-map question where the brand is weakest on all three APIs, including the two that name it almost everywhere else:

   OpenAI API0/3Perplexity API1/3Anthropic API1/2

   The answers cite pages written for this occasion by other sellers. Your site has a baby shower article (April 2025) but no page for a new baby, while anniversaries have one (/anniversary-star-map/). This question was not part of the app test. Baby pages cited in the API answers:

   • skylitstudio.co.uk/blogs/skytalk/star-maps-for-newborns-and-young-children-a-unique-gift-for-lifelong-memories 4 API answers (Anthropic, Perplexity)
   • skylitstudio.co.uk/pages/new-baby-gifts 4 API answers (Anthropic, Perplexity)
   • thenightsky.com/uk/gifts/baby-gifts 4 API answers (Anthropic, Perplexity)
   • bluenellie.co.uk/product/the-night-sky-the-night-you-were-born/ 3 API answers (Perplexity)

   • paperamor.co.uk/products/star-map-constellation-new-baby 2 API answers (Perplexity)
   • yournightsky.co.uk/product-category/personalised-baby-gifts/ 2 API answers (Anthropic, OpenAI)

   Title tag

   New Baby Star Map - Night Sky Birth Print | Picture The Stars

   Meta description (156 characters)

   The sky they were born under. A personalised star map of your baby's time and place of birth, made and printed in Manchester, with free tracked UK delivery.

   New Baby Star Map

   The sky they were born under. Capture the stars exactly as they appeared at your baby's time and place of birth, calculated using precise astronomical data.

   Create Star Map

   A new baby star map shows the sky above the place your baby was born, at the date and time they arrived. Enter the hospital or town, the date and the time of birth, add their name and a short message, and preview the map live before you order.

   Every map is drawn from a database of millions of stars in ESA's Hipparcos and Gaia catalogues and printed in our Manchester workshop on 285gsm museum grade art cardstock with archival inks. Choose from five sizes, A4 to 60 × 80 cm, framed in black, white, French oak or walnut, or unframed, from £21.99.

   It makes a gift from grandparents, godparents and friends for the birth itself, a christening or a first birthday, with free, fully tracked delivery in 1-2 working days.

   Keep the blocks already used on /anniversary-star-map/ unchanged: the product collections row, the features (Ultra HD Print, Milky Way+, Award Winning, Museum Grade, Verified Accuracy, Constellations, Premium Framing, Fast Free Shipping), the guarantees and the reviews strip.

   Frequently asked questions

   Is a star map a good new baby gift?

   Yes. Rather than something they will outgrow, a star map keeps the moment a child arrived: the stars above the place they were born, at the time they were born. You can personalise it with their name, the date and a short message, and preview the design live before ordering. With free, fully tracked delivery in 1-2 working days, it is quick to send to new parents anywhere in the UK.

   Which details should I choose?

   Choose the place of birth (the hospital or the town), the date and the time of birth. The sky turns through the night, so the time changes which stars are overhead: if you know it, enter it. If no time is selected we will default this to midnight, because every star map needs a time to be calculated. If you add the time, you can print it alongside the date or show the date alone. For the message, the baby's name with a line such as "Welcome to the world" or "The night you were born" works well, and you can add the birth weight.

   Can I order before the baby is born?

   The map is calculated from the date, time and place of birth, so it is made once the baby has arrived. For a baby shower, a gift voucher lets the parents create their map whenever they are ready: the recipient enters the code at checkout.

   Which size suits a nursery?

   Star maps come in five sizes, from A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) to 60 × 80 cm, framed in a premium wooden frame (black, white, French oak or walnut) or unframed. The smaller sizes sit well on a shelf or a chest of drawers; 50 × 70 cm and 60 × 80 cm make a centrepiece above a cot.

   Why second

   A precise gap on engines that otherwise name you, one page on a template you already have, and nothing in it that your site does not already say.

   How we check it

   Done: the address answers 200 with its own canonical and appears in sitemap.xml and llms.txt. Effect: the same question next month (0/3, 1/3 and 1/2 today), added to the app test, and whether the new address shows up among cited or returned sources.

3. Third

   Give remembrance a page of its own

   What we found

   “Memorial gift idea: a star map of the night someone passed away” is the star-map question OpenAI misses on both surfaces we measured, the ChatGPT app and OpenAI's API:

   ChatGPT app0/2Google AI Overview2/2Perplexity app1/2OpenAI API0/3Perplexity API3/3Anthropic API2/2

   When Perplexity's API names you here, it cites your homepage and your star-map product page; the homepage has one short block that says “Our star and moon maps are the best gifts to remember a passed loved one”; Anthropic names you without citing your site. Your sitemap has no page about remembrance. The memorial pages cited in the API answers belong to other sellers:

   • mapsformoments.co.uk/collections/sympathy-star-map-gifts 5 API answers (Anthropic, Perplexity)
   • osr.org/en-uk/gift-for/memorial/ 3 API answers (Perplexity)
   • star-registration.co.uk/pages/sympathy-gift-star 3 API answers (Perplexity)
   • skylitstudio.co.uk/pages/memorial-gifts 2 API answers (Anthropic)
   • thoughtfulkeepsakeco.com/products/personalised-memorial-gifts-the-night-sky-star-map-print 2 API answers (Anthropic)
   • etsy.com/uk/listing/1327154561/memorial-star-map-print-loss-of-loved 2 API answers (OpenAI)
   • skythatnight.com/occasion-memorial.html 2 API answers (OpenAI)

   Read them: OpenAI, pass 2, Perplexity, pass 2, Anthropic, pass 2, and the app sessions in the section above.

   The change

   A page at picturethestars.co.uk/memorial-star-map/ on the template of the second change (title “Memorial Star Map - Remember a Loved One | Picture The Stars”, heading “Memorial Star Map”), with its own questions: which date to choose (the night they passed, their birthday, a wedding day), what to write, and sending it straight to someone who is grieving. Linked from the Remembrance block of the homepage.

   Why third

   The gap is mostly OpenAI's, and the words of a remembrance page are yours to set with care; we would draft it with you rather than for you.

   How we check it

   Done: the page is live, in the sitemap and linked from the homepage. Effect: the same question next month, in the ChatGPT app first.

• “Picture the Stars typically estimates UK delivery at around 3–5 working days after dispatch.”

  OpenAI, pass 1, answered without searching the web

  Your delivery page says 1-2 working days, with same-day dispatch for most weekday orders before 3:30pm. The two OpenAI passes that searched (2, 3) gave those figures.

• “Its site advertises Royal Mail Tracked delivery and a 30-day money-back guarantee.”

  OpenAI, pass 2, citing your contact page

  The page it cites, /contact/, says “Money back guarantee (100 days)”. We found “30-day” on none of your 198 pages in that sense: the error is the engine's.

• “Picture The Stars has 5 stars, based on what over 2,731 people have written.”

  Anthropic, pass 1, citing an older state of your Trustpilot page

  The text it quotes (“Check out what 2,731 people have written so far”) comes from its search index, not from today's page. Your Trustpilot profile shows 4.7 from 3,765 reviews (read in a browser on 25 September 2026).

• “The company's site also highlights 3,500+ Trustpilot reviews.”

  Perplexity, pass 1 and pass 3, citing your About page

  True to your site, and your site holds four figures: “3,500+” on About us, 3,749 on the homepage rating strip, 3500 in the Organization markup, and 3,765 on Trustpilot today. One figure, updated in one place, would stop the engines from choosing among them.

• “There is one small inconsistency across their pages: one page mentions Tycho-2 and the Yale catalog in addition to Hipparcos and Gaia.”

  Perplexity, pass 2

  Your science page lists four catalogues (Hipparcos, Tycho-2, Gaia, Yale) while the product page and FAQ name two. Not a contradiction, but the engine reads it as one; a sentence on the science page saying how the four are used together would settle it.

How this was measured
