4 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 gardengatemagazine.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. Name Des Moines in the first words

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

    Agent instructions

    On gardengatemagazine.com, name Des Moines in the home page title or first sentence, and in the description, where it reads naturally.

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

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

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

    Agent instructions

    On gardengatemagazine.com, find where the site mixes News and publishers with Agencies and studios, 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.
