What an assistant reads first
Home pageWhat it says
TitleCoursera | Online Courses, Certificates, & Degrees
DescriptionLearn job-ready skills with online courses, Professional Certificates, Specializations, and degrees from Google, Meta, Anthropic, DeepLearning.AI, Stanford, and more. Start learning today.
First headingLearn without limits
OpeningLearn the skills changing data analytics in a curated learning plan, powered by industry experts.
4 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 coursera.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.
- Make the first heading say what the title says
The title and the first heading share no word that says what the site does: “Coursera | Online Courses, Certificates, & Degrees” and “Learn without limits”.
Agent instructions
On coursera.org, give the home page one first heading (h1) that says, in a reader's words, what its title says the site is: Software and SaaS.
- Rewrite the description
Its description is 188 characters and is cut off in results.
Agent instructions
On coursera.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.
- 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 coursera.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.
Gemini cites 4 sites, not this site
mttr picked the question from coursera.org’s home page and asked it as a person would.
What are the best online course platforms?
Gemini
The "best" online course platform depends entirely on whether you are a student looking to learn a new skill, or a creator/business looking to build, market, and sell online courses. ---.
