What an assistant reads first

OpeningSign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.

4 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 techradar.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 New York in the first words

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

    Agent instructions

    On techradar.com, name New York in the home page title or first sentence, and in the description, where it reads naturally.

  3. 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 techradar.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.

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

    It reads close to Software and SaaS as well as News and publishers. Mixed on one page, neither reads plainly.

    Agent instructions

    On techradar.com, find where the site mixes News and publishers with Software and SaaS, 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.

Gemini cites 7 sites, not this site

A question people ask about news and publishers, asked as a person would. These questions name no place.

    What are the biggest tech layoffs this year?

    Gemini

    The tech industry has continued to experience significant workforce reductions. While the exact figures shift dynamically across real-time trackers like Layoffs.fyi and TrueUp, several major corporations have announced some of the largest scale layoffs of the year:

    1. 1
      Oracle
      • Delivered one of the largest single workforce reductions, impacting tens of thousands of…
    2. 2
      T-Mobile / Telecom Sector
      • T-Mobile continued a multi-phase workforce transformation, cutting thousands of jobs…
    3. 3
      Netflix
      • Announced a sizable round of layoffs impacting roughly 1,000 employees (about 6% of its…

Asked with only the question sent; answers vary by day, place and person. Passing a rule and being cited go together here, a correlation, not proof. A score says pages are well formed. It does not say an assistant cites the site.

mttr has read 3 of the 7 sites cited.
