usd.edu — Global SEODiff Score 67/100

usd.edu
📊

At 73/100, the ACRI for usd.edu indicates strong fundamentals in AI extractability, surpassing the majority of indexed sites. In the education sector, usd.edu outperforms the average (58), suggesting strong competitive positioning in AI search. Content is delivered server-side, meaning bots and AI agents can parse the full page without executing JavaScript. Token bloat registers at 6.7× — acceptable, but reducing inline scripts and redundant markup could yield measurable gains. No structured data was detected, which means AI systems must infer all entities and relationships from raw HTML alone. 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.
💡WebSite schema missing. Add WebSite + SearchAction so Google can generate a Sitelinks Search Box for your brand in AI results.
