How AI reads this site

The first words an assistant reads on its home page.

What an assistant reads first

Home pageWhat it says
TitleZillow: Real Estate, Apartments, Mortgages & Home Values
DescriptionThe leading real estate marketplace. Search millions of for-sale and rental listings, compare Zestimate® home values and connect with local professionals.
First headingRentals. Homes. Agents. Loans.
OpeningPick up where you left off on your Zillow Home Loans dashboard.

3 changes so it reads plainly as what it is

  1. Make the first heading say what the title says

    The title and the first heading share no word that says what the site does: “Zillow: Real Estate, Apartments, Mortgages & Home Values” and “Rentals. Homes. Agents. Loans.”.

    Agent instructions

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

  2. Name Saint Louis in the first words

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

    Agent instructions

    On zillow.com, name Saint Louis 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 zillow.com, add JSON-LD to the home page declaring the most particular schema.org type for the business, with its name, address, phone and sameAs links to its own profiles.

  4. 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.
