Make the page AI reads say plainly what University of Georgia does for founders

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

What to do

  1. Open https://research.uga.edu/gateway/startups/uga-fast-grant. 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. Keep it as text on the page, not inside an image, a PDF or a slide deck, so the engines can read it.

The paragraph, written from your own site

Why it helps

People's questions bring up University of Georgia, and AI doesn't always recommend it. Where the terms aren't written down, the engines hedge or point elsewhere.

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

The questions this is for

  • Alternatives to an accelerator for an Atlanta founder who does not want to give up equity
  • Who in Atlanta actually helps first-time founders, as opposed to just hosting events?
  • Which Atlanta organizations support healthtech or digital health startups?
  • Consumer and direct-to-consumer startups in Atlanta: is there any support, or is it all B2B?
  • Where does someone starting a company in Atlanta go first?
