shepherd.org — Global SEODiff Score 72/100

shepherd.org
📊

With a solid 84/100 ACRI, shepherd.org is well-positioned for AI search — better than 98% of sites in the Radar. In the healthcare sector, shepherd.org outperforms the average (58), suggesting strong competitive positioning in AI search. Its server-rendered architecture ensures AI crawlers receive complete HTML on first request, a key advantage for extractability. A 11.9× bloat ratio is typical for sites in this tech tier — not wasteful, but streamlining could further boost extractability. 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.
