What an assistant reads first

First headingNone in the HTML
OpeningElla Potvin won the Flight 1 Singles state title on Friday, Oct. 9, to complete an undefeated singles season.
2 changes so it reads plainly as what it is
- Make the first heading say what the title says
The home page has no first heading in its HTML.
Agent instructions
On rapidcityjournal.com, give the home page one first heading (h1) that says, in a reader's words, what its title says the site is: News and publishers.
- 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 rapidcityjournal.com, add JSON-LD to the home page declaring the most particular schema.org type for the business (one that fits News and publishers), 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.
