How should I word a change so it comes out right?
Updated October 13, 2026
The short answer
Say which page, which part, and exactly what you want, one change at a time: “On the Fees page, change the session fee to $190 for 50 minutes.” Quote the exact words you see when you want them changed, and say what to keep.
Five habits that work
- One change per message. Three changes in one message are harder to get right, and harder to undo one at a time.
- Name the page and the part. “On the About page, in the second paragraph…” or use Point at and click it.
- Quote the exact words you want changed, in quotation marks: change “individual therapy” to “therapy for adults”.
- Give the real details. The assistant never makes up a price, an insurer, a credential or a web address, so include them: “Add that I accept Aetna and Cigna.”
- Say what to keep. “Make the headline warmer, but keep Brooklyn and anxiety in it.”
Vague and clear, side by side
| Instead of | Try |
|---|---|
| “Fix the fees.” | “On the Fees page, say sessions are $190 for 50 minutes, and I offer a sliding scale.” |
| “Make it look better.” | “Make the buttons dark green and the headings a little bigger.” |
| “Change the picture.” | “Replace the picture at the top of the home page with a calm forest path in morning light.” |
| “Add my info.” | “Add that I'm licensed in New York and New Jersey.” |
| “Delete that section.” | Click Point at, click the section, then type “Remove this section.” |
Things you can say “everywhere”
Some changes apply to the whole site at once. For example: “Say clients instead of patients everywhere”, “Write the whole site as we”, or “Remove the word journey everywhere.” The assistant finds every place and checks none is left.
Asking questions is free
You can ask the assistant things like “Where does my fee appear?” or “What's on my About page?” Questions don't use up a change.
