What an assistant reads first

Home pageWhat it says
TitleAlbany County, NY - Official Website | Official Website
DescriptionNone in the HTML
First headingHome
OpeningNone in the HTML

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: “Albany County, NY - Official Website | Official Website” and “Home”.

    Agent instructions

    On albanycounty.com, give the home page one first heading (h1) that says, in a reader's words, what its title says the site is: Cities and public services.

  2. 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 albanycounty.com, write the home page a meta description of one or two sentences, 50 to 160 characters: what the business does, for whom, and where.

  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 albanycounty.com, add JSON-LD to the home page declaring the most particular schema.org type for the business (one that fits Cities and public services), 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.
