lonelyplanet.com — Global SEODiff Score 59/100

lonelyplanet.com
📊

lonelyplanet.com shows strong AI visibility with an ACRI of 69/100, outperforming 64% of indexed domains. Within the news vertical, this places lonelyplanet.com above the industry average of 58 —, suggesting strong competitive positioning in AI search. The low ghost ratio (5%) confirms that what crawlers see matches what users see — a hallmark of strong SSR implementation. A 46.1× token bloat ratio means crawlers must process significantly more tokens to reach the actual content — a drag on extraction efficiency. Minimal structured data (1 block) limits the site's ability to communicate entity relationships to AI systems. Partial bot access means the domain is visible to some AI systems but invisible to others — GPTBot remain blocked.

  • Allow GPTBot in robots.txt so AI crawlers can access your pages (see Crawl Access).
  • Reduce token bloat (navigation/footer/code) so agents reach your main content faster (see Token Bloat).
  • Create an llms.txt file so AI crawlers can discover your content structure without heavy crawling. Generate llms.txt →
