Alan Goldfarb is a personal academic website run by a mathematics researcher affiliated with UC Berkeley. The site shares research and perspectives on mathematics and the evolving role of artificial intelligence within the field. It is positioned as a thoughtful, academically grounded commentary platform aimed at mathematicians, academics, and researchers interested in mathematical proof, progress, and AI's impact on mathematics. The knowledge-graph also notes a historical reference to a college basketball player of the same name at Clemson (1967-1968), unrelated to the site's academic content.

No Wikipedia presence was found - a major gap, since Wikipedia is among the most heavily weighted sources in AI training data.
The homepage meta description reads "To share research and perspectives on mathematics and the role of AI within it." (No meta description) - this is the summary AI engines are most likely to quote.
Structured data on the homepage: No structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Adding Organization and FAQ schema would further help AI crawlers parse the brand's identity.
AI-crawler access: No robots.txt found (default: all bots allowed, but explicit file preferred) - robots.txt controls whether engines like GPTBot and ClaudeBot can read the site at all.
Detected tech stack: Nginx.
Social footprint: verified profiles on X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, GitHub; no detected presence on LinkedIn - consistent profiles reinforce the brand's identity across the web.
0 Reddit mentions - community discussion signals real-world reputation to AI models.

Alan Goldfarb scores 15/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
Alan Goldfarb has a weak AI-visibility profile at 15/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is recommendation likelihood (30/100) and its weakest is trust (4/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry and open access for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.). The main gaps holding it back: no clear Wikipedia entity to anchor it in LLM training data, thin schema.org structured data and no llms.txt to steer AI to its best pages. In a live check (November 2026), Claude could not identify Alan Goldfarb from memory, confirming the gaps above.
The score combines seven dimensions - name quality, digital presence, visual identity, messaging clarity, trust foundation, AI discoverability, and brand authority - into a single objective benchmark.
