What an assistant reads first

Home pageWhat it says
TitleWilson Center
DescriptionIndependent Research, Open Dialogue & Actionable Ideas
First headingExplore more than 27,000 insights and analysis, 160 experts, and hundreds of events each year.
OpeningFor over 50 years, the Wilson Center has bridged scholarship and policy to help leaders navigate global challenges and forge a stronger America and more secure world.

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 Schools and courses. An assistant matches a site to a question by what its pages plainly say.

    Agent instructions

    On wilsoncenter.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 Schools and courses. 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: “Wilson Center” and “Explore more than 27,000 insights and analysis, 160 experts, and hundreds of events each year.”.

    Agent instructions

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

  3. Name NW Washington in the first words

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

    Agent instructions

    On wilsoncenter.org, name NW Washington in the home page title or first sentence, and in the description, where it reads naturally.

  4. 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 wilsoncenter.org, add JSON-LD to the home page declaring the most particular schema.org type for the business (one that fits Schools and courses), with its name, address, phone and sameAs links to its own profiles.

  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.
