Make the page AI reads say plainly what City of Atlanta does for founders

Move 1 of 1 for City of Atlanta's team. Who: Whoever edits the website. Time: 45 min.

What to do

  1. Open https://www.atlantaga.gov/doing-business/grants-loans-incentives. AI cites it more than any other page on your site.
  2. Near the top, say in plain sentences who it is for, what a founder or a company gets from you, and how to reach the right person.
  3. Check the engines' reading against reality. In our reading of the answers, they say: “Owner of the North Avenue corridor; access is research-partnership only and status uncertain.” If that is right, say it yourself. If it is wrong, correct it in one sentence on this page.
  4. Keep it as text on the page, not inside an image, a PDF or a slide deck, so the engines can read it.

Why it helps

People's questions bring up City of Atlanta, and AI doesn't always recommend it. When they pass it over, they usually give a reason, and it is most often about fit or terms.

A clear page means AI describes you the way you would, and sends people to the right door.

The questions this is for

  • Where can I test autonomous vehicle or smart city technology in Georgia?
  • Which local governments in metro Atlanta pilot products from startups, and who do I contact?
  • Is there free or subsidized office space for startups from the city or the state in Atlanta?

What the engines say now

“Access here runs through the city and Georgia Tech rather than an open-door program... Worth verifying its current state”

Claude

“the honest read is that Atlanta is harder to pilot with than its national reputation suggests”

Claude

“The City of Atlanta side is thinner than you'd hope.”

How you'll know it worked

In December we ask the same questions again. On these questions, watch whether the engines describe City of Atlanta the way this page does.
