This is one time when having the actual headline on the article can be misleading. The first thing I think when I see "A note from [company]'s CEO" is that the company is going out of business. My second guess would be announcing a funding round.
How about something like "Shyp Transitions Couriers to W2 Employees"?
This also encourages people to submit paywalled articles because they have better headlines, when (I assume) most of us would prefer to read it from the source.
- why-el 11y agoYep, even from an SEO standpoint this is not a very good title to have indexed by robots.
- madez 11y agoMaybe your notion of what "A note from [company]'s CEO" can mean is too specific. It is the original title, it is a note and it's from the CEO. I think speaking and taking things literally should be the default.
- smacktoward 11y agoThis is like arguing that every brand of cereal should be labeled "Box of Cereal" because it is a box that contains cereal. It's possible for a label to be completely true and completely uninformative at the same time.
