How AI reads this site

The first words an assistant reads on its home page.

What an assistant reads first

2 changes so it reads plainly as what it is

  1. Rewrite the description

    Its description is 35 characters, too few to choose a site by.

    Agent instructions

    On newyorkalmanack.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.

  2. Name Colchester in the first words

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

    Agent instructions

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

  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.
