4 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 curtislumber.com, 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. 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 curtislumber.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. Name Ballston Spa in the first words

    The site is in Ballston Spa, and its title, description, first heading and opening never say so. Questions to assistants often name a place.

    Agent instructions

    On curtislumber.com, name Ballston Spa in the home page title or first sentence, and in the description, where it reads naturally.

  4. Give each kind of work a page of its own

    It reads close to Trades and home services as well as Manufacturers and suppliers. Mixed on one page, neither reads plainly.

    Agent instructions

    On curtislumber.com, find where the site mixes Manufacturers and suppliers with Trades and home services, and give each its own page, linked from the home page, so each page is about one thing.

  5. 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 3 sites, not this site

A question people ask about manufacturers and suppliers, asked as a person would. These questions name no place.

    Where can I get custom sheet metal parts made in the US?

    Gemini

    Depending on your project size, lead time, and complexity (ranging from simple laser-cut brackets to complex welded assemblies), you have several reliable options for getting custom sheet metal parts made in the US.

Asked with only the question sent; answers vary by day, place and person. Passing a rule and being cited go together here, a correlation, not proof. A score says pages are well formed. It does not say an assistant cites the site.

mttr has read 3 of the 3 sites cited.
