levels.fyi — Global SEODiff Score 42/100

levels.fyi
📊

levels.fyi registers just 15/100 on the ACRI scale — a bottom-tier result indicating systemic AI visibility problems. Within the healthcare vertical, this places levels.fyi below the industry average of 57 —, indicating room for competitive improvement. Server-side rendering keeps the ghost ratio near zero, giving AI systems direct access to all visible content. The bloated 50.0× token ratio highlights an urgent need to clean up non-content markup, scripts, and navigation clutter. No structured data was detected, which means AI systems must infer all entities and relationships from raw HTML alone. Comprehensive AI crawler restrictions limit this domain's presence in the growing AI search ecosystem.

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 →
