What an assistant reads first

Home pageWhat it says

DescriptionTa-Nehisi Coates is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Between the World and Me, a finalist for the National Book Award.

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 News and publishers. An assistant matches a site to a question by what its pages plainly say.

    Agent instructions

    On ta-nehisicoates.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 News and publishers. Keep the title under 60 characters and lead with the service, not the name.

  2. Name Brooklyn in the first words

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

    Agent instructions

    On ta-nehisicoates.com, name Brooklyn in the home page title or first sentence, and in the description, where it reads naturally.

  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.
