How AI reads this site

The first words an assistant reads on its home page.

What an assistant reads first

Home pageWhat it says
TitleBankrate — Compare Mortgage Rates & Financial Products
DescriptionCompare today's mortgage rates, savings accounts, credit cards, and more. Bankrate helps you find the best rates from hundreds of banks and credit unions — free, unbiased, and updated daily.
First heading9 out of 10 homebuyers overpay for their mortgage. You don't have to.
OpeningAmerican homeowners overpay $3,343 on their mortgage every year. Not because good rates don’t exist, but because the system isn’t built for people. Bankrate is. We make lenders compete for your loan until the best rate wins.

2 changes so it reads plainly as what it is

  1. Rewrite the description

    Its description is 190 characters and is cut off in results.

    Agent instructions

    On bankrate.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.

  2. Name West Palm Beach, FL in the first words

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

    Agent instructions

    On bankrate.com, name West Palm Beach, FL in the home page title or first sentence, and in the description, where it reads naturally.

  3. 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.
