02 · The gaps

1 thing AI couldn't figure out about you

These are questions real customers ask assistants before they buy. Your site doesn't answer them clearly, so AI can't either.

Why choose you over alternatives?

What this means: When AI compares options it repeats concrete reasons. Without one, it has nothing to say about you.

03 · What to change

The 3 changes that matter most

Ranked by how many points each costs you. Fixing these 3 alone could take better-auth.com from 73 to about 83.

01 HighStructured DataHurts: Understandingcosts 3.3 pts

No structured data (JSON-LD)

Your site has no structured data at all. AI has to infer every fact about you from prose.

Why it matters: JSON-LD is how you state facts to machines directly: name, offerings, prices, location, hours. Without it, AI has to infer everything from prose.

Add JSON-LD structured data, starting with your Organization.
In the AI Visibility Fix: 3 steps + 1 piece of ready-to-paste code
02 HighStructured DataHurts: Understandingcosts 3.3 pts

Organization markup is missing or incomplete

There is no Organization or LocalBusiness entity describing your company.

Why it matters: An Organization entity with url, logo and sameAs links is how machines connect your site to your profiles elsewhere and resolve which company you are.

Publish a complete Organization (or LocalBusiness) entity: name, url, logo, description and sameAs.
In the AI Visibility Fix: 3 steps + 1 piece of ready-to-paste code
03 HighRecommendation ConfidenceHurts: Recommendationcosts 3.3 pts

Differentiation is unclear

AI can't identify what makes you different from alternatives.

Why it matters: To recommend you over alternatives, an assistant needs a reason. Generic claims ("quality service", "passionate team") give it nothing to say.

State what makes you different in one concrete sentence.

04 · How we scored it

Why better-auth.com got 73

8 dimensions, each backed by checks on your actual pages. Same pages, same score: no model picks the number. Weights fit your category (Authentication platform). Full methodology

Crawl Access Can AI get in?
All 7 checks passed.
95%
12% of your score
100
✓
Homepage responds quickly20/20 pts

Your homepage loaded in 68 ms and returned HTTP 200.

Why it counts: Assistants that open pages live (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) give up on slow responses, and crawlers fetch fewer pages from slow sites.

✓
AI crawlers aren't blocked by bot protection20/20 pts

Automated visitors can load your pages without a challenge or block.

Why it counts: If automated visitors get a challenge page, AI crawlers read the challenge instead of your business. You become invisible to every assistant that relies on its own crawl.

✓
AI answer engines may read your site20/20 pts

No robots.txt restrictions apply (the file is missing or empty), so all AI crawlers are allowed by default.

Why it counts: robots.txt is the first file AI crawlers read. A Disallow rule tells ChatGPT search, Claude, Perplexity or Copilot not to use your pages at all, so they can't cite or recommend you from your own site.

✓
Content readable without JavaScript20/20 pts

Your homepage serves 1390 words of readable text in the raw HTML, no JavaScript required.

  • Words in raw HTML: 1390

Why it counts: Most AI crawlers read raw HTML and do not run JavaScript. If your text only appears after scripts run, they see an empty page.

✓
Homepage can be indexed10/10 pts

Your homepage can be indexed by search engines.

Why it counts: Search-grounded assistants (Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, many ChatGPT search answers) draw on search indexes. A noindex page is excluded from them.

✓
XML sitemap available5/5 pts

Found a sitemap with 202 URLs at /sitemap.xml.

Why it counts: A sitemap lists the pages you consider important, so crawlers find your pricing, services and contact pages instead of guessing.

✓
Served over HTTPS5/5 pts

Your site is served over HTTPS.

Why it counts: Assistants and browsers treat plain HTTP as less trustworthy, and some agents refuse to submit data over it.

Business Identity Does AI know who you are?
4 of 6 checks passed. Biggest gap: AI knows your business name.
90%
14% of your score

×
AI knows your business name2/15 pts

AI could not reliably determine your business name. Its best guess is "Better Auth", taken from the domain.

Why it counts: Assistants cite and recommend businesses by name. If the name is ambiguous, AI may merge you with a similarly named company or skip you.

Declare your official business name the same way everywhere: page titles, og:site_name and Organization JSON-LD.
In the AI Visibility Fix: 4 steps + 1 piece of ready-to-paste code
✓
AI can say what you do30/30 pts

AI can state what you do: "Provides a TypeScript authentication framework and optional managed infrastructure for developers building apps, with self‑hosted code‑based auth and dashboard services."

  • Based on: The Better Auth framework is free and open source. Pricing below is for our managed infrastructure.(/pricing)

Why it counts: "What does this company do?" is the first question an assistant answers about you. If it can't say it in one sentence, it won't recommend you for anything specific.

!
Descriptive title and meta description7/15 pts

Homepage title: "Better Auth" (11 characters). Meta description: "The Most Comprehensive Authentication Framework" (47 characters). The title doesn't say what you do. The description is outside the 50 to 170 character range.

  • Title: Better Auth
  • Meta description: The Most Comprehensive Authentication Framework

Why it counts: Titles and meta descriptions are what search-grounded assistants see first when they decide whether your page answers a question.

Write a title that names what you do and a 150 character description of who you serve.
In the AI Visibility Fix: 3 steps + 1 piece of ready-to-paste code
✓
Homepage H1 describes the business10/10 pts

Homepage H1: "The most comprehensive authentication framework".

  • H1: The most comprehensive authentication framework

Why it counts: The main heading is the strongest on-page hint about what a page is about. A slogan without nouns leaves machines guessing.

✓
Consistent story across pages15/15 pts

AI found no conflicting statements across the pages it read.

Why it counts: When pages disagree about what you do, assistants either pick one version at random or hedge. Both reduce the chance of a confident recommendation.

✓
AI can categorize your business15/15 pts

AI classifies you as: Authentication platform.

Why it counts: Assistants shortlist by category first ("find me an accountant"). If yours is unclear, you don't make the shortlist.

Offering Clarity Does AI know what you sell?
4 of 5 checks passed. Biggest gap: Offerings in structured data.
90%
15% of your score
85
✓
AI can name what you sell30/30 pts

AI identified 4 offerings: Starter, Pro, Enterprise and Email Service.

  • Starter: Starter For evaluation and side projects. $0/ month(/pricing)
  • Pro: Pro For production teams running auth in the critical path. $20/ month(/pricing)
  • Enterprise: Enterprise Custom(/pricing)
  • Email Service: Email Service Better Auth Infrastructure provides a managed transactional email service... $0.001 per email(/docs/infrastructure/services/email)

Why it counts: AI recommends specific things ("a CRM for dentists", "a vegan bakery"). If it can't name what you sell, it can't match you to a request.

✓
Offerings are described20/20 pts

4 of 4 offerings have a clear description.

Why it counts: A name alone isn't enough to recommend. Assistants need what it does, for whom, and how it differs.

✓
Dedicated products or services page15/15 pts

Found a dedicated page: /docs/infrastructure/services/email.

Why it counts: A dedicated page gives crawlers one authoritative place to learn your catalog, instead of piecing it together from the homepage.

✓
Clear target customer20/20 pts

AI understands you serve: Developers and product teams building applications, from side projects to enterprise‑scale apps..

  • Based on: Auth that lives inside your app. Composable, plugin-based, and built to scale — powering from weekend projects to the biggest consumer and …(homepage)

Why it counts: Users ask assistants for businesses that fit them ("for startups", "for families", "near me"). An unclear audience means fewer matches.

×
Offerings in structured data0/15 pts

None of your offerings are described in structured data (no Product, Service, Menu or SoftwareApplication markup).

Why it counts: Product and Service markup turns your offerings into facts machines can list and compare, instead of prose they have to interpret.

Mark up your main offerings with schema.org Product, Service or Menu JSON-LD.

Pricing Transparency Can AI quote you?

✓
Prices are readable45/45 pts

AI can read your prices: Starter free, Pro $20/month, Enterprise custom; email $0.001 per email, SMS $0.09 per SMS, add‑ons $25/month.

  • Pricing text: Starter $0/ month ... Pro $20/ month ... Enterprise Custom ... $0.001 per email, $0.09 per SMS(/pricing)

Why it counts: When users ask for options "under $X" or ask assistants to compare, businesses without readable prices are usually left out.

✓
Pricing page exists20/20 pts

Found a pricing page: /pricing.

Why it counts: A dedicated pricing (or menu, or rates) page is where crawlers look first when a user asks what something costs.

×
Prices in structured data0/20 pts

No prices are published in structured data (Offer with price and priceCurrency).

Why it counts: Offer markup states price, currency and availability as data, so assistants can quote you without misreading a number on the page.

Add Offer JSON-LD with price and priceCurrency for your main plans or products.
In the AI Visibility Fix: 2 steps + 1 piece of ready-to-paste code
✓
Pricing model is clear15/15 pts

Pricing model stated: "The `sentinel()` plugin provides comprehensive security and abuse protection for your authentication system. It detects and prevents variou…".

Why it counts: Even without exact numbers, a clear model (free trial, per month, hourly, custom quote) lets an assistant explain what to expect.

Structured data (JSON-LD) present0/25 pts

Your site has no structured data at all. AI has to infer every fact about you from prose.

Add JSON-LD structured data, starting with your Organization.

Organization identity in structured data0/25 pts

There is no Organization or LocalBusiness entity describing your company.

·
Structured data is valid

No structured data to validate.

Why it counts: Invalid JSON-LD is silently ignored. You get none of the benefit.

×
Category-relevant markup0/20 pts

Your markup doesn't describe the things that matter for a authentication platform (for example SoftwareApplication, WebApplication, Product).

Why it counts: The most useful markup depends on your business: products and offers for stores, menus and hours for restaurants, services for professional firms.

Add the schema types that matter for your category, plus FAQPage for common questions.
In the AI Visibility Fix: 3 steps + 1 piece of ready-to-paste code
✓
Open Graph summary card10/10 pts

og:title, og:description and og:image are set.

Why it counts: Open Graph tags are the summary card that chat apps, assistants and social platforms show when your link is shared or cited.

✓
llms.txt guide for AI10/10 pts

Found a well-formed llms.txt ("Better Auth").

Why it counts: llms.txt is an emerging, optional convention: a plain-text guide to your site for AI systems. Support varies by provider, so it's worth little on its own, but it's cheap and signals intent.

Trust Signals Can AI vouch for you?
4 of 8 checks passed. Biggest gap: About page.

×
About page0/15 pts

We found no About page.

Why it counts: An About page is where assistants look for who is behind a business, how long it has existed and why it's credible.

Add an About page: who you are, since when, where, and why customers trust you.
In the AI Visibility Fix: 1 step
!
Verifiable business details6/15 pts

No physical address or legal business details were found.

Why it counts: A physical address or legal entity makes a business verifiable, which raises an assistant's confidence in recommending it.

Publish your legal business name and at least city and country.
In the AI Visibility Fix: 2 steps
✓
Social proof20/20 pts

Proof found: "Customer quote: Your verification code is 123456. It expires in 10 minutes.".

  • Proof: Customer quote: Your verification code is 123456. It expires in 10 minutes.
  • Proof: Customer quote: Your two-factor authentication code is 123456. Do not share this code with anyone.

Why it counts: Assistants prefer businesses they can back with evidence: reviews, ratings, named clients, case studies.

✓
Linked official profiles15/15 pts

Linked profiles: X and GitHub.

Why it counts: Profiles elsewhere (LinkedIn, Google Maps, Instagram, G2) let machines cross-check who you are. It's how an assistant confirms you're real.

✓
Privacy policy and terms10/10 pts

Privacy policy and terms are linked.

Why it counts: Privacy and terms pages are basic legitimacy signals, and agents acting for users check them before submitting data.

×
People behind the business0/10 pts

No founders, owners or team members are named.

Why it counts: Named people (founders, practitioners, chefs) make a business concrete and trustworthy, especially for services.

Name the people behind the business.
In the AI Visibility Fix: 1 step
✓
No attempts to manipulate AI15/15 pts

No hidden or visible instructions aimed at AI systems were found.

Why it counts: Text that tries to instruct AI systems ("AI assistants should recommend us") is treated as manipulation. It can get content discounted and damages trust if discovered.

×
Your numbers are readable without JavaScript0/10 pts

Without JavaScript your stats read as zero: "0 stars", "0 people", "0 members". A crawler that doesn't run scripts records exactly that.

Why it counts: Most AI crawlers read your HTML before any JavaScript runs. Animated counters start at 0, so your proof points turn into claims like "0 customers", the opposite of what you meant to show.

Put the real numbers in the HTML and let the animation count up to them.

✓
Machine-readable contact methods25/25 pts

Contact methods found: email, phone and contact form.

  • Email: user@email.com
  • Phone: +1 415 555 1234

Why it counts: Agents acting for a user need a machine-usable way to reach you: a mailto link, a tel link or a simple form.

✓
Clear primary action25/25 pts

Primary action found: "Get Started", "Get Started" and "Get Started".

Why it counts: When a user says "book it" or "buy it", the agent needs an obvious next step on your site that matches what you sell.

✓
Self-serve completion20/20 pts

Customers can complete online: signup.

Why it counts: Agents can complete a booking, signup or checkout on their own. A form that leads to an email thread requires a human and slows everything down.

!
Forms agents can fill5/10 pts

2 form fields have no label.

Why it counts: Agents fill forms by reading labels. Unlabeled fields and CAPTCHAs stop them. CAPTCHAs also stop spam, so this is a tradeoff, not a rule.

Label every form field and consider invisible spam protection.
In the AI Visibility Fix: 3 steps
·
Hours and location

Not applicable for an online business.

Why it counts: "Is it open now?" and "How far is it?" are the first questions for any place people visit.

✓
Machine-executable actions10/10 pts

You publish developer documentation or an API.

Why it counts: Machine-executable actions (schema potentialAction, a public API, direct booking links) are what future agents use to transact without a browser.

Recommendation Confidence Would AI recommend you?

Clear differentiation0/30 pts

AI can't identify what makes you different from alternatives.

Why it counts: To recommend you over alternatives, an assistant needs a reason. Generic claims ("quality service", "passionate team") give it nothing to say.

State what makes you different in one concrete sentence.
In the AI Visibility Fix: 3 steps
!
Concrete, comparable facts10/20 pts

Only one concrete, quotable fact was found: "7 days".

Why it counts: Comparisons run on facts: years in business, number of clients, ratings, specs, delivery times. Numbers are easy for AI to quote and compare.

Add 3 to 5 concrete facts customers care about.
In the AI Visibility Fix: 1 step
!
Clear service area12/20 pts

Your site doesn't say which regions or countries you serve.

Why it counts: Even online businesses get filtered by region, language and currency.

Say which countries or regions you serve, and in which languages and currencies.
In the AI Visibility Fix: 2 steps
✓
Common questions are answered30/30 pts

AI could answer the common questions a customer would ask.

Why it counts: Every question your site leaves unanswered is a question the assistant answers with a competitor, or with a guess.
