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 Manufacturers and suppliers. An assistant matches a site to a question by what its pages plainly say.

    Agent instructions

    On awc.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 Manufacturers and suppliers. Keep the title under 60 characters and lead with the service, not the name.

  2. Make the first heading say what the title says

    The title and the first heading share no word that says what the site does: “Wood Design Standards & Building Codes - American Wood Council” and “Committed to ensuring a resilient, safe, and sustainable built environment.”.

    Agent instructions

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

  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 awc.org, add JSON-LD to the home page declaring the most particular schema.org type for the business (one that fits Manufacturers and suppliers), 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.
