5 changes so it reads plainly as what it is

  1. Say what you do, for whom and where

    Its pages read only partly as Cities and public services. An assistant matches a site to a question by what its pages plainly say.

    Agent instructions

    On usmayors.org, 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 Cities and public services. 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: “United States Conference of Mayors” and “Latest News”.

    Agent instructions

    On usmayors.org, give the home page one first heading (h1) that says, in a reader's words, what its title says the site is: Cities and public services.

  3. Rewrite the description

    Its description is 267 characters and is cut off in results.

    Agent instructions

    On usmayors.org, write the home page a meta description of one or two sentences, 50 to 160 characters: what the business does, for whom, and where.

  4. Name Arlington in the first words

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

    Agent instructions

    On usmayors.org, name Arlington in the home page title or first sentence, and in the description, where it reads naturally.

  5. 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 usmayors.org, add JSON-LD to the home page declaring the most particular schema.org type for the business (one that fits Cities and public services), with its name, address, phone and sameAs links to its own profiles.

  6. 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.
