sueddeutsche.de — Global SEODiff Score 34/100

sueddeutsche.de
📊

sueddeutsche.de registers just 15/100 on the ACRI scale — a bottom-tier result indicating systemic AI visibility problems. In the infrastructure sector, sueddeutsche.de underperforms relative to the average (57), indicating room for competitive improvement. The low ghost ratio (10%) confirms that what crawlers see matches what users see — a hallmark of strong SSR implementation. Heavy markup overhead (50.0× bloat) forces AI systems to wade through excess code before finding useful information. The complete absence of JSON-LD schema is a missed opportunity: even basic Organization markup would improve how AI crawlers understand this domain. Most AI crawlers are blocked by robots.txt, severely restricting how AI-powered search engines can index and surface this content.

Fastest improvements

  • Allow GPTBot in robots.txt so AI crawlers can access your pages (see Crawl Access).
  • Allow ClaudeBot (many assistants rely on it) — blocking it often correlates with “AI invisibility.”
  • Add basic Organization and WebSite JSON-LD to fix “0 schema blocks” (see Schema Coverage).
  • 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 →
  • Run a full entropy audit to find which DOM regions waste the most tokens. Run Entropy Audit →

💡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.
