Anything we couldn’t read is its own segment — a page that blocks our reader is our limitation, not a mark against you, and it never lowers your score.

Priorities

Fix these first

Ranked by revenue impact. Each one is something developers — or an AI answer engine — need to see and currently can't. Fixing the top few moves your score the most.

01

No obvious button to start

Replace generic 'Interactive API Docs' link with a prominent 'Try the API' button that executes a live curl example (e.g., presidential approval) in an embedded terminal or shows response JSON.

02

Search engines can’t tell what you sell

Add JSON-LD for SoftwareApplication schema, including applicationCategory: 'Data API', runtimePlatform: 'HTTP/REST', and license: 'https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/'.

03

No price anywhere on the page

Clarify 'free' means truly free for non-commercial use — add a concise badge: '✅ Free forever (CC BY 4.0) | ✅ No API key required | ✅ No rate limiting for light use'.

04

No easy way to get in touch

Add a 'Need help integrating?' link next to the primary CTA that opens a lightweight support form or links directly to a GitHub Discussions tab — no email gate.

05

AI assistants have nothing to read

Publish /llms.txt with a concise machine-readable product summary, audience, pricing, and docs links.

06

Nothing on the page proves you’re a real business

Move license and NYT attribution above the fold, and add a 'Usage Guidelines' link beside the license that opens a modal with 3 bullet points: 'Attribute PollResults.org + NYT', 'Don’t resell raw data', 'Don’t overload endpoints'.

07

Your page title doesn’t say what you do

Change title to 'PollResults.org API — Free U.S. Political Poll Data for Developers' to signal purpose, audience, and value instantly.

08

Shared links look broken

Add Open Graph tags so shared links render with a clear title and value proposition.

What we read on your page

What a customer finds — and doesn’t

1 of the 8 things we could check are already on your page. We found only 1 of the 8 things a customer looks for before they act. Most visitors are leaving without enough reason to call, book or buy.

Below is the breakdown: what's already working (with the exact text quoted from your page as proof), and the highest-impact additions to win more API integrations — in priority order.

Scope: an automated scan of the 1 page we could read across your site. Every “found” item quotes the exact text on your page so you can verify it. It doesn't judge copy quality or design.

Already on your page

  • A headline that says what you do — found: “PollResults.org API”

What to add, in order of impact

  • An obvious button that starts the thing — Put one clear action button on the first screen (e.g. Start free, Book a demo).
  • Reviews or proof from real customers — Add a testimonial, customer logo, star rating, or an 'N customers' proof point near the top.
  • A concrete number, not an adjective — Add a concrete number (result %, time saved, customers served). Specifics convert better than adjectives.
  • Something that removes the risk of trying you — Lower perceived risk: free trial, money-back guarantee, no credit card, or cancel-anytime.
  • A price, or at least a from-figure — Show pricing or a 'starting at' anchor so buyers can self-qualify without emailing.
  • An easy way to get in touch — Give an easy capture path: short form, booking link, or contact route from the first screen.
  • Answers to the questions people ask before buying — Answer the top 3-5 buyer objections in an FAQ to remove hesitation before the CTA.

Deliverable

The full write-up

The full work-up for Pollresults.org — every fix, with copy and code ready to paste.

Complete fix plan (every issue, step by step)

1. No obvious button to start

Replace generic 'Interactive API Docs' link with a prominent 'Try the API' button that executes a live curl example (e.g., presidential approval) in an embedded terminal or shows response JSON.

  1. Put one primary button on the first screen with action text (e.g. the suggested CTA below).
  2. Repeat the same CTA after the proof section and in the footer.
  3. Make the button visually dominant — one accent colour used only for the primary action.

2. Search engines can’t tell what you sell

Add JSON-LD for SoftwareApplication schema, including applicationCategory: 'Data API', runtimePlatform: 'HTTP/REST', and license: 'https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/'.

  1. Add JSON-LD using the schema snippet below, edited with your real details.
  2. Validate it in Google's Rich Results Test before publishing.
  3. Keep it in sync with the on-page facts (name, address, phone, offers).

3. No price anywhere on the page

Clarify 'free' means truly free for non-commercial use — add a concise badge: '✅ Free forever (CC BY 4.0) | ✅ No API key required | ✅ No rate limiting for light use'.

  1. Show pricing, packages, or a 'from …' anchor so buyers can self-qualify.
  2. If pricing is bespoke, give a starting price or a typical range.
  3. Pair each price with what's included so it reads as value, not cost.

4. No easy way to get in touch

Add a 'Need help integrating?' link next to the primary CTA that opens a lightweight support form or links directly to a GitHub Discussions tab — no email gate.

  1. Add a visible booking link, short form, or tap-to-call number on the first screen.
  2. Keep the form to 3 fields max; every extra field drops completion.
  3. Confirm submissions with a clear success state, not a silent reload.

5. AI assistants have nothing to read

Publish /llms.txt with a concise machine-readable product summary, audience, pricing, and docs links.

  1. Publish /llms.txt with a plain-text product summary, audience, pricing and key links.
  2. Keep it concise — answer engines reward clear, factual structure.
  3. Update it when your offer or pricing changes.

6. Nothing on the page proves you’re a real business

Move license and NYT attribution above the fold, and add a 'Usage Guidelines' link beside the license that opens a modal with 3 bullet points: 'Attribute PollResults.org + NYT', 'Don’t resell raw data', 'Don’t overload endpoints'.

  1. Add 2–3 real testimonials or case results with names/logos near the CTA.
  2. Link a privacy policy and terms page in the footer.
  3. Show any credentials, guarantees, security or compliance badges you hold.

7. Your page title doesn’t say what you do

Change title to 'PollResults.org API — Free U.S. Political Poll Data for Developers' to signal purpose, audience, and value instantly.

  1. Write a 50–60 character <title> in the format: Primary outcome for [audience] — [Brand].
  2. Put the most-searched term first; keep the brand at the end.
  3. Make every important page's title unique — never reuse the homepage title.

8. Shared links look broken

Add Open Graph tags so shared links render with a clear title and value proposition.

  1. Add og:title, og:description, og:image and og:url to <head>.
  2. Use a 1200×630 share image with the value proposition baked in.
  3. Test the preview with the Facebook/LinkedIn debuggers.

Why it matters

The fastest developers do not read every page. They scan the first screen, trust signals, pricing cues and how easy it is to make an API call. Missing signals make the offer harder to understand and easier to ignore.
