4 changes so it reads plainly as what it is

  1. Say what you do, for whom and where

    Its pages read only partly as Agencies and studios. An assistant matches a site to a question by what its pages plainly say.

    Agent instructions

    On orteil.dashnet.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 Agencies and studios. Keep the title under 60 characters and lead with the service, not the name.

  2. Make the first heading say what the title says

    The home page has no first heading in its HTML.

    Agent instructions

    On orteil.dashnet.org, give the home page one first heading (h1) that says, in a reader's words, what its title says the site is: Agencies and studios.

  3. 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 orteil.dashnet.org, write the home page a meta description of one or two sentences, 50 to 160 characters: what the business does, for whom, and where.

  4. 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 orteil.dashnet.org, add JSON-LD to the home page declaring the most particular schema.org type for the business (one that fits Agencies and studios), with its name, address, phone and sameAs links to its own profiles.

  5. 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.
