What an assistant reads first

3 changes so it reads plainly as what it is
- Say what you do, for whom and where
Its pages read only partly as Software and SaaS. An assistant matches a site to a question by what its pages plainly say.
Agent instructions
On platformer.news, 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 Software and SaaS. Keep the title under 60 characters and lead with the service, not the name.
- Make the first heading say what the title says
The title and the first heading share no word that says what the site does: “Platformer” and “Independent reporting on AI, social platforms, and the people shaping technology.”.
Agent instructions
On platformer.news, give the home page one first heading (h1) that says, in a reader's words, what its title says the site is: Software and SaaS.
- 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 platformer.news, 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.
- 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.
