backblaze.com — Global SEODiff Score 58/100

backblaze.com
📊

backblaze.com currently sits at 62/100 on the ACRI scale, an average result that suggests several quick wins remain untapped. Compared to other infrastructure sites (avg score: 58), backblaze.com performs above the benchmark, suggesting strong competitive positioning in AI search. The low ghost ratio (10%) confirms that what crawlers see matches what users see — a hallmark of strong SSR implementation. The bloated 25.7× token ratio highlights an urgent need to clean up non-content markup, scripts, and navigation clutter. Zero schema blocks puts this site at a disadvantage in knowledge graph and AI-answer pipelines that rely on explicit structured data. All major AI bot user-agents (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot, Google-Extended) are permitted by robots.txt, ensuring broad AI crawler access.

💡Organization schema missing. AI models cannot identify your brand entity. Without it, your brand won't appear in Knowledge Panels or be associated with your content.
💡Product / Service schema missing. AI models don't know this is a SaaS product. Add Product or SoftwareApplication schema so AI understands what you offer and can surface pricing/features.
💡BreadcrumbList schema missing. AI cannot understand your site hierarchy or how pages relate to each other.
💡FAQ schema missing. Adding FAQPage schema lets AI models directly extract Q&A pairs for Featured Snippets and chatbot answers.
