Moz Domain Authority 88/100 vs category average 49 / leader 99 - a strong backlink profile, so AI systems frequently encounter mentions of the brand.
ICERM appears on Wikipedia but without a dedicated company entity, so AI models can confuse it with similarly named subjects.
The homepage meta description reads "The Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM) supports and broadens the relationship between mathematics and computation." (Meta description: 19 words (ideal length). No OG description (falling back to meta)) - 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: Next.js, Nginx.
Social footprint: verified profiles on X (Twitter), Instagram, YouTube; no detected presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, GitHub - consistent profiles reinforce the brand's identity across the web.
0 Reddit mentions - community discussion signals real-world reputation to AI models.

ICERM scores 45/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
ICERM has a limited AI-visibility profile at 45/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is recommendation likelihood (53/100) and its weakest is visibility (41/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry, a Moz Domain Authority of 88/100 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, Claude could already identify ICERM from memory (August 2026) - a sign these signals are paying off.
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.
77 in September 2026, down from 81 in August 2026.
