8 fixes. The first 7 are worth the most; each group says the places it lifts the site, counted from where every ranked site scores now.
It reads closest to news and publishers, but only loosely. 3 changes would make it plainer.
News and publishersIt says it is in Lawrence.
Its pages read only partly as News and publishers. An assistant matches a site to a question by what its pages plainly say.
On lawrence.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.
The title and the first heading share no word that says what the site does: “News, Sports, Jobs - Lawrence Journal-World: news, information, headlines and events in Lawrence, Kansas” and “Eureka Downs holds state’s first horse races in 16 years”.
On lawrence.com, 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.
Its home page declares no business or organization type, so a machine has to guess what it is.
On lawrence.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.
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.
