What an assistant reads first

Home pageWhat it says
TitleHuman Skills Improve Student Success | Second Step® K-12 Programs
DescriptionStrengthen academic achievement, growth mindset, and school climate with K–12 Second Step® human skills programs designed for student success.
First headingBetter Climate. Better Behavior.Better Learning.
OpeningStudents build essential competencies in behavior, belonging, and readiness to learn with the Second Step® curriculum—the leading Human Skills™ solution made for real PreK–12 classrooms and proven to work.Making it easy to make a difference

3 changes so it reads plainly as what it is

  1. Make the first heading say what the title says

    The title and the first heading share no word that says what the site does: “Human Skills Improve Student Success | Second Step® K-12 Programs” and “Better Climate. Better Behavior.Better Learning.”.

    Agent instructions

    On secondstep.org, give the home page one first heading (h1) that says, in a reader's words, what its title says the site is: Schools and courses.

  2. Name Tukwila in the first words

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

    Agent instructions

    On secondstep.org, name Tukwila 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 secondstep.org, add JSON-LD to the home page declaring the most particular schema.org type for the business (one that fits Schools and courses), 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.
