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 Online shops. An assistant matches a site to a question by what its pages plainly say.

    Agent instructions

    On steveconnell.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 Online shops. 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 title and the first heading share no word that says what the site does: “Chicago NightChicago Night” and “.”.

    Agent instructions

    On steveconnell.com, give the home page one first heading (h1) that says, in a reader's words, what its title says the site is: Online shops.

  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.
