About The Gazette
from our crawl and measurement
The Gazette is a Cedar Rapids, IA business whose own site puts it this way: "The Gazette has been serving Eastern Iowa since 1883. Our office is open to the public from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM Monday through Friday." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is partially visible, scoring 6.5 out of 10, readable in places and missing in others.
