What an assistant reads first

DescriptionNone in the HTML
First headingOpenSource.net
OpeningNone in the HTML

3 changes so it reads plainly as what it is

  1. Write a description

    The home page has no description, so a search result and an assistant make one up from the page.

    Agent instructions

    On opensource.net, 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 Boston in the first words

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

    Agent instructions

    On opensource.net, name Boston 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 opensource.net, add JSON-LD to the home page declaring the most particular schema.org type for the business (one that fits Software and SaaS), with its name, address, phone and sameAs links to its own profiles.

  4. 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.
