What an assistant reads first

Home pageWhat it says

DescriptionTimes of San Diego is a nonprofit news site devoted to comprehensive news coverage in San Diego County, California, the fifth most-populous county in the U.S.
First headingNone in the HTML
OpeningNone in the HTML

4 changes so it reads plainly as what it is

  1. Say what you do, for whom and where

    Its pages read as two kinds of work at once as Trades and home services. An assistant matches a site to a question by what its pages plainly say.

    Agent instructions

    On pr.timesofsandiego.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 Trades and home services. 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 pr.timesofsandiego.com, give the home page one first heading (h1) that says, in a reader's words, what its title says the site is: Trades and home services.

  3. Name Greer in the first words

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

    Agent instructions

    On pr.timesofsandiego.com, name Greer in the home page title or first sentence, and in the description, where it reads naturally.

  4. Give each kind of work a page of its own

    It reads close to Law firms as well as Trades and home services. Mixed on one page, neither reads plainly.

    Agent instructions

    On pr.timesofsandiego.com, find where the site mixes Trades and home services with Law firms, and give each its own page, linked from the home page, so each page is about one thing.

  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.
