What an assistant reads first

Home pageWhat it says
TitleLocal SEO for Home Service Contractors | Rank Compass
DescriptionRank Compass is a local SEO agency that ranks your Google Business Profile and website at the same time, so home service businesses get more calls.

2 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 rankcompass.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 Agencies and studios. Keep the title under 60 characters and lead with the service, not the name.

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

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

    Agent instructions

    On rankcompass.com, find where the site mixes Agencies and studios with Trades and home services, and give each its own page, linked from the home page, so each page is about one thing.

  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.
