What an assistant reads first

Home pageWhat it says
TitleFoundation Stack AI | Vertical Obstruction Data Software
DescriptionExplore GlobalVO™, the world’s most comprehensive source of man-made Vertical Obstruction data offering high-res results in near real time. Schedule a live demo today.

OpeningWe combine expertise in U.S. National Security, AI, and automation technologies to provide clients with global, on-demand, man-made vertical obstructions data that actively reduces the risk to mission and life.

6 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 Software and SaaS. An assistant matches a site to a question by what its pages plainly say.

    Agent instructions

    On foundationstack.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 Software and SaaS. Keep the title under 60 characters and lead with the service, not the name.

  2. Make the first heading say what the title says

    The title and the first heading share no word that says what the site does: “Foundation Stack AI | Vertical Obstruction Data Software” and “Better mission outcomesfrom the ground up.”.

    Agent instructions

    On foundationstack.com, 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.

  3. Rewrite the description

    Its description is 167 characters and is cut off in results.

    Agent instructions

    On foundationstack.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.

  4. Name McLean in the first words

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

    Agent instructions

    On foundationstack.com, name McLean in the home page title or first sentence, and in the description, where it reads naturally.

  5. 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 foundationstack.com, add JSON-LD to the home page declaring the most particular schema.org type for the business (one that fits Software and SaaS), with its name, address, phone and sameAs links to its own profiles.

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

    It reads close to Agencies and studios as well as Software and SaaS. Mixed on one page, neither reads plainly.

    Agent instructions

    On foundationstack.com, find where the site mixes Software and SaaS with Agencies and studios, and give each its own page, linked from the home page, so each page is about one thing.

  7. 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.
