Make the page the engines read say exactly who Start:ME Atlanta is for

What to do

1. Pick the page that best describes what Start:ME Atlanta offers founders. The engines rarely cite your own site today, so a clear, current page is the fastest way to be quoted correctly.
2. Near the top, answer five things in plain sentences: who it is for, what stage, what it costs or takes (fee, equity or check size), how to apply, and when the next intake or deadline is.
3. Check the engines' reading against reality. In our reading of the answers, they say: “Micro-business focus; skip if building venture-scale tech company.” If that is right, say it yourself and point founders who don't fit to the right door (the next move). 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 Start:ME 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 the engines send you the founders you are built for, and send the others somewhere that fits.

The questions this is for

• Which Atlanta startup organizations belong on a new founder's short list, and which can be skipped?

What the engines say now

“Skip if you are building a scalable, venture-backed tech company.”

How you'll know it worked

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