5 changes so it reads plainly as what it is
- Say what you do, for whom and where
Its pages read only partly as Software and SaaS. An assistant matches a site to a question by what its pages plainly say.
Agent instructions
On apereo.org, 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 Software and SaaS. Keep the title under 60 characters and lead with the service, not the name.
- Write a description
The home page has no description, so a search result and an assistant make one up from the page.
Agent instructions
On apereo.org, write the home page a meta description of one or two sentences, 50 to 160 characters: what the business does, for whom, and where.
- Name Princeton in the first words
The site is in Princeton, and its title, description, first heading and opening never say so. Questions to assistants often name a place.
Agent instructions
On apereo.org, name Princeton in the home page title or first sentence, and in the description, where it reads naturally.
- 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 apereo.org, add JSON-LD to the home page declaring the most particular schema.org type for the business (one that fits Software and SaaS), with its name, address, phone and sameAs links to its own profiles.
- Give each kind of work a page of its own
It reads close to Schools and courses as well as Software and SaaS. Mixed on one page, neither reads plainly.
Agent instructions
On apereo.org, find where the site mixes Software and SaaS with Schools and courses, and give each its own page, linked from the home page, so each page is about one thing.
- 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.
