Adidas Dtc's AI Sentiment is strong (82) but AI Visibility is significantly lower (18). This pattern is a common signal of client-side rendering — AI models are hearing about Adidas Dtc from third parties, not from Adidas Dtc's own website.
The following crawlers likely received blank or minimal HTML:
- GPTBot (OpenAI) — does not execute JavaScript; trains ChatGPT
- ClaudeBot (Anthropic) — does not execute JavaScript; trains Claude
- CCBot (Common Crawl) — does not execute JS; source data for most open LLMs
- Bingbot (Microsoft) — limited JS rendering in standard crawl mode
This means AI models are reconstructing Adidas Dtc from indirect sources only — third-party mentions, citations, and scraped references — not from the brand's own website content.
How to fix it:
- → Add server-side rendering (SSR) or static HTML export so crawlers receive full page content
- → If using a JS framework (React, Next.js, etc.), enable pre-rendering for bot user-agents
