Here are some specific ways you can improve the look and info on an AboutUs domain page:

Add a summary

A summary is a short description of what the site is (< 63 characters). Click the green "be the first to sum up" link or the green pencil to the right to edit an existing summary. learn more

Tag the site

What are the main 5 or 10 things that the website is about? Add these as tags to the page to help sum up what the site is and to help people find the site when searching AboutUs.org. learn more

Headings

Domain pages automatically start with Title, Description, Additional Information section headers, but a page can be made much better by changing and adding to these. Try merging the Title and Description section and making the business name the header. learn more

Write a description

A good description of the website provides all of the information a reader may want to know before they go to the actual site or any missing information that they couldn't find on the website. Be sure to replace the "excerpt from website" with your own unique description of the site.

  • In simple conversational words: What does the site offer?

Add a logo or photos

Adding a logo or other images as examples of your website, services or anything else related is a fabulous way to liven up your AboutUs page. There are many possibilities, such as having your description wrap around the logo or a photo gallery with captions. learn more

Add/update contact info

Because contact information can go a long way in helping someone trust a website and it is often something that a person may have to dig for on the website itself we strongly encourage sites to provide contact information on their AboutUs domain page. (We automatically protect email addresses, so no need to worry about spam.)
