Hello all,

We have been diving a bit into the next steps of getting our community content better displayed (and found) in Google. I would like to post two of these subjects here for everyone to take some potshots at it.

One, the meta description. This one is explained here, but when talking about topics we do not have an influence on this unless you rewrite the topic in itself. We think it might be beneficial to decouple/create a separate meta description from the topic itself. But only on the back end. So that means you would get a meta description field above the topic on the backend that would automatically fill with the standard lines from the topic that Google would see as the meta tag. But then you would be able to change the Meta tag there without changing the topic itself and so create a far better overview that gets into Google's results.

What are your thoughts on that?Two, using schema.org mechanics. This site gives examples of structuring data within pages to present a better image to Google in knowing what its looking at. This could maybe be done in input fields on the backend making it possible to give certain parameters to the topic page that will help Google define its contents.

The same question here, what are your thoughts about this?

 

Cheers,

Thank you again for sharing this idea. We have made the decision to park it for now because it didn’t gather a too many votes. However, improving SEO scoring for content hosted on our platform will continue to be top of mind for us.
