The largest open lift is on the engines below where Albuquerque Journal's articles are missing structured signals other regional daily sites of the same size already publish.
ChatGPT
47
Crawler: GPTBot
GPTBot likely blocked or pages return JS-only shells.
Perplexity
91
Crawler: PerplexityBot
PerplexityBot ingests the archive; bylines and datelines are extracted.
Claude
72
Crawler: ClaudeBot
ClaudeBot crawls clean HTML; Anthropic citations appear for evergreen pieces.
Google AI Overviews
53
Crawler: Google-Extended
AIO surfaces the site occasionally; missing FAQ + speakable hurts.
What Albuquerque Journal can ship this week
- Mark paywalled body content with `cssSelector` exclusions but leave the lede + first 200 words free — that's what answer engines quote.
- Server-render every article. JS-only shells fail GPTBot's HTML fetch and quietly drop you out of citations.
- Add `<script type="application/ld+json">` NewsArticle schema with `speakable`, `dateline`, and `isAccessibleForFree` to every story page.
- Add an XML sitemap entry for every article within an hour of publish so crawl latency for AI bots stays under 60 minutes.
- Add a public reporter bio page for every byline with `Person` schema, beats, and a sample of recent articles.
If you work at Albuquerque Journal — or any other regional daily — the same audit, but live and continuous on every article you publish, is what Mani does.
