About Academic Programs
from our crawl and measurement
academicprograms.usc.edu, based in Los Angeles, CA, describes itself simply: "From first year undergraduates to advanced doctoral candidates, we help students achieve their goals through the provision of key services and programs designed to maximize student success." Its AI visibility score is 5.8 out of 10: the engines can find it, but they do not have much to hold on to.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (WebPage, ImageObject, BreadcrumbList), a sitemap and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file.
AI crawlers have visited once in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic).
