About National Geographic
from our crawl and measurement
"Explore stories of science, exploration, and discovery from around the world with National Geographic." That is how National Geographic of Washington, DC introduces itself. To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is partially visible, scoring 5.5 out of 10, readable in places, missing in others.
The site gets some of it right: it has structured data on the page (WebPage, WebSite, NewsMediaOrganization), a sitemap, a readable heading structure. What holds it back is what is absent, including an llms.txt file.
