What an assistant reads first

Home pageWhat it says
TitleVanguard: Helping you reach your investing goals | Vanguard
DescriptionVanguard funds, IRAs, 401(k) rollovers, and advice so you can sort it out. All from Vanguard, where we put you first.

2 changes so it reads plainly as what it is

  1. Name Paso in the first words

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

    Agent instructions

    On investor.vanguard.com, name Paso in the home page title or first sentence, and in the description, where it reads naturally.

  2. 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 investor.vanguard.com, add JSON-LD to the home page declaring the most particular schema.org type for the business (one that fits Lending, insurance and finance), with its name, address, phone and sameAs links to its own profiles.

  3. 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.

Asked with only the question sent; answers vary by day, place and person. Passing a rule and being cited go together here, a correlation, not proof. A score says pages are well formed. It does not say an assistant cites the site.
