3 changes so it reads plainly as what it is

  1. Say what you do, for whom and where

    Its pages read as two kinds of work at once as News and publishers. An assistant matches a site to a question by what its pages plainly say.

    Agent instructions

    On dailypress.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 News and publishers. Keep the title under 60 characters and lead with the service, not the name.

  2. Rewrite the description

    Its description is 263 characters and is cut off in results.

    Agent instructions

    On dailypress.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. Give each kind of work a page of its own

    It reads close to Law firms as well as News and publishers. Mixed on one page, neither reads plainly.

    Agent instructions

    On dailypress.com, find where the site mixes News and publishers with Law firms, and give each its own page, linked from the home page, so each page is about one thing.

  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.
