3 changes so it reads plainly as what it is
- Say what you do, for whom and where
Its pages read only partly as News and publishers. An assistant matches a site to a question by what its pages plainly say.
Agent instructions
On illinoisanswers.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 News and publishers. 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: “Illinois Answers Project” and “Homepage”.
Agent instructions
On illinoisanswers.org, give the home page one first heading (h1) that says, in a reader's words, what its title says the site is: News and publishers.
- Name Chicago in the first words
The site is in Chicago, and its title, description, first heading and opening never say so. Questions to assistants often name a place.
Agent instructions
On illinoisanswers.org, name Chicago in the home page title or first sentence, and in the description, where it reads naturally.
- 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.
