craigslist.com — Global SEODiff Score 68/100

craigslist.com
📊

At 80/100, the ACRI for craigslist.com indicates strong fundamentals in AI extractability, surpassing the majority of indexed sites. Content is delivered server-side, meaning bots and AI agents can parse the full page without executing JavaScript. The 6.6× token bloat ratio falls within the normal range, though there is room to trim navigation, footer, and script overhead. Only 1 schema block is present — adding Organization, WebSite, and Breadcrumb schemas would significantly improve structured data coverage. The site maintains an open-door policy for AI crawlers — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and other major agents are all allowed.

💡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.
