About PRIMER
from our crawl and measurement
"Everything North Carolina needs to know. Click to read PRIMER | North Carolina, by Jeffrey Billman | Journalist, a Substack publication with thousands of subscribers." That is how PRIMER introduces itself. As far as answer engines are concerned it may as well not exist yet: 1.6 out of 10.
The gap is on the page itself: the site is missing structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file, a sitemap, which are the first things an answer engine looks for.
