The Legibility Problem: Why AI Can’t Read Your Website Like a Student Can
AI doesn't browse your website the way a prospective student does. Students click from page to page, compare programs, watch videos, and piece together the information they need. AI takes a different approach. It retrieves, evaluates, and assembles information to answer a specific question.
Where AI Finds Information About Your Institution
If your AI visibility strategy begins and ends with your website, you're only seeing part of the picture. When a prospective student asks ChatGPT or another AI tool about colleges, universities, or career training programs, the response isn't built from a single webpage. AI assembles information from a wide range of sources to determine which institutions best answer the question.
