About Underscore Native News
from our crawl and measurement
Underscore Native News is a business whose own site puts it this way: "In-depth, Indigenous-centered reporting in the Pacific Northwest." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is partially visible, scoring 6.7 out of 10, readable in places and missing in others.
On the page itself the strengths are clear: a clear heading structure, a clearly stated business identity and sitemaps and entity links AI can follow. It is passable on some structured data and a few credibility markers. What holds it back is the technical files AI engines look for, such as llms.txt or an open robots.txt.
Away from its own site, other sites link to it and it comes up on Reddit. There is some, but not much, sign that the domain is only lightly established and press coverage is thin. Beyond that, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business and nobody is discussing it where AI engines look.
It does link out to several social profiles, which helps engines tie the brand together. The business dates to 2019.
