01. Make the page AI reads say plainly what Georgia State University does for founders

Whoever edits the website · 45 min

  1. Open https://eni.gsu.edu/launchgsu. 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: “Has entrepreneurship coursework but no confirmed defined startup funding amount.” 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.
