Overall AI visibility
miamiherald.com
65/100
Grade C
Across the four AI engines we audit (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews), Miami Herald is inconsistently cited by the engines we tested, with an overall 65/100 score. The largest open lift is on the engines below where Miami Herald's articles are missing structured signals other regional daily sites of the same size already publish.
ChatGPT
62
Crawler: GPTBot
GPTBot is allowed but article-level structured data is thin.
Perplexity
43
Crawler: PerplexityBot
PerplexityBot blocked or paywalled before the lede.
Claude
87
Crawler: ClaudeBot
ClaudeBot crawls clean HTML; Anthropic citations appear for evergreen pieces.
Google AI Overviews
68
Crawler: Google-Extended
AIO surfaces the site occasionally; missing FAQ + speakable hurts.
What Miami Herald can ship this week
- 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://miamiherald.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.
- Mark paywalled body content with `cssSelector` exclusions but leave the lede + first 200 words free — that's what answer engines quote.
If you work at Miami Herald — or any other regional daily — the same audit, but live and continuous on every article you publish, is what Mani does.
