What an assistant reads first

Home pageWhat it says
TitleThe Chopping Block | Chicago’s Top Cooking School & Culinary Events
DescriptionDiscover cooking classes, private events, and gourmet experiences at The Chopping Block—Chicago’s top culinary school.
First headingLET’S GET COOKING
OpeningFrom weeknight meals to dinner parties, we help you cook with confidence. Explore hands-on classes, immersive boot camps, and deliciously different private events - all led by professional chefs and made to match your goals.

3 changes so it reads plainly as what it is

  1. Say what you do, for whom and where

    Its pages read only partly as Restaurants and cafes. An assistant matches a site to a question by what its pages plainly say.

    Agent instructions

    On thechoppingblock.com, rewrite the home page title and its first sentence to say plainly what the business does, for whom and where, so the site reads as Restaurants and cafes. Keep the title under 60 characters and lead with the service, not the name.

  2. Name Lincoln Chicago in the first words

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

    Agent instructions

    On thechoppingblock.com, name Lincoln Chicago in the home page title or first sentence, and in the description, where it reads naturally.

  3. Say what kind of business it is in structured data

    Its home page declares no business or organization type, so a machine has to guess what it is.

    Agent instructions

    On thechoppingblock.com, add JSON-LD to the home page declaring the most particular schema.org type for the business (one that fits Restaurants and cafes), with its name, address, phone and sameAs links to its own profiles.

  4. 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.
