Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl The Clay Communicator, but the structured-data signals are thin - you are at real risk of being skipped when buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity for a recommendation.

About The Clay Communicator
from our crawl and measurement
The Clay Communicator is a business whose own site puts it this way: "The Clay Communicator: Clay, WV’s local online newspaper delivering community news, events, and stories that matter to our neighbors." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 3.1 out of 10.
Our crawl found a sitemap and a readable heading structure. It is missing structured data describing the business and an llms.txt file.

What this score means
Your AEO score measures whether AI search engines - ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini - can actually read your site and cite it in answers. Roughly two-thirds of sites are invisible to them. At 3.1/10, The Clay Communicator is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
