A free AI-visibility snapshot for Concord Monitor (concordmonitor.com) — a regional daily based in Concord, NH.
Overall AI visibility
concordmonitor.com
56/100
Grade D
Across the four AI engines we audit (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews), Concord Monitor is rarely cited by the engines we tested, with an overall 56/100 score. The largest open lift is on the engines below where Concord Monitor's articles are missing structured signals other regional daily sites of the same size already publish.
ChatGPT
53
Crawler: GPTBot
GPTBot is allowed but article-level structured data is thin.
Perplexity
34
Crawler: PerplexityBot
PerplexityBot blocked or paywalled before the lede.
Claude
78
Crawler: ClaudeBot
ClaudeBot crawls clean HTML; Anthropic citations appear for evergreen pieces.
Google AI Overviews
59
Crawler: Google-Extended
AIO surfaces the site occasionally; missing FAQ + speakable hurts.
What Concord Monitor can ship this week
- 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.
- Allow `GPTBot`, `PerplexityBot`, `ClaudeBot`, `anthropic-ai`, `Google-Extended`, and `Applebot-Extended` in `https://concordmonitor.com/robots.txt`.
- Cross-link each article from at least two evergreen topic pages so AI engines can find it after the homepage rotates it off.
- Publish a `/llms.txt` at the root that maps your beats, reporter bios, and the canonical URL for each topic.
If you work at Concord Monitor — or any other regional daily — the same audit, but live and continuous on every article you publish, is what Mani does.
