1 change so it reads plainly as what it is

  1. Name Boston in the first words

    The site is in Boston, and its title, description, first heading and opening never say so. Questions to assistants often name a place.

    Agent instructions

    On altgage.com, name Boston in the home page title or first sentence, and in the description, where it reads naturally.

  2. Read it again

    mttr reads the site again and says how it reads now.

An estimate made by mttr against 16 lines of work, from its home page before any script runs. It is not what any assistant says about the site. Rethink the direction with us.
