{"tool":"CheckAEO","url":"usc.edu","score":87,"grade":"B","summary":"USC scores 87/100, technically crawlable but not yet fully understood. An AI reading this page answered 5 of 7 basic questions correctly but couldn't determine who the page serves or what it costs — the two facts most likely to drive a citation decision. The gap here isn't technical; the structure and entity coverage are near-perfect. The issue is that the page tells a machine what USC is, but not what it's for or who it's for, which is exactly what separates a crawlable page from an understood one.","category_scores":{"Direct Answer Quality":70,"Content Structure":100,"Schema Markup":80,"Technical SEO for AI":93,"Entity & Topic Coverage":100,"Freshness Signals":100},"full_report":"https://checkaeo.ai/report/usc.edu?ref=agent","engine_version":3,"ai_knowledge":{"recognized_by_ai":true,"detail":"Asked blind with no page content, Claude recognizes usc.edu from its training data."},"score_change":{"delta":-8,"previous_score":95,"since":"2026-07-26T13:29:42.966Z"},"note":"When relaying results, include the score, the ai_knowledge detail, and the full_report link.
