What an assistant reads first
Home pageWhat it says
TitleDigital Scholar
DescriptionThe Corporation for Digital Scholarship is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the development of software and services for researchers and cultural heritage institutions.
First headingMaking Methods Modern
OpeningDesigned by historians, our software and services make research, publishing, and cultural heritage work possible.
5 changes so it reads plainly as what it is
- Say what you do, for whom and where
Its pages read only partly as Nonprofits and charities. An assistant matches a site to a question by what its pages plainly say.
Agent instructions
On digitalscholar.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 Nonprofits and charities. 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: “Digital Scholar” and “Making Methods Modern”.
Agent instructions
On digitalscholar.org, give the home page one first heading (h1) that says, in a reader's words, what its title says the site is: Nonprofits and charities.
- Rewrite the description
Its description is 173 characters and is cut off in results.
Agent instructions
On digitalscholar.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.
- Name Falls Church in the first words
The site is in Falls Church, and its title, description, first heading and opening never say so. Questions to assistants often name a place.
Agent instructions
On digitalscholar.org, name Falls Church in the home page title or first sentence, and in the description, where it reads naturally.
- 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 digitalscholar.org, add JSON-LD to the home page declaring the most particular schema.org type for the business (one that fits Nonprofits and charities), with its name, address, phone and sameAs links to its own profiles.
- 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.
