Improve SEO #111

Closed abettermap closed 4 years ago

abettermap commented 7 years ago

Not a mega concern, but it would be nice to show up in first page of Google results for searches like fort collins volunteer coding. I got to page 6 and still didn't see the site using that criteria.

Not an expert, but things that help SEO:

  1. Good site architecture (well-structured site outline, internal links, URL stuff, etc.)
  2. Keywords within content
  3. Meta- titles, meta tags
  4. ???

Completing #38 Should also help improve SEO.

I don't know if it's a fact but I have heard that Google favors secure sites. Looks like we can get https for free: https://css-tricks.com/switching-site-https-shoestring-budget/

Either way, SSL is never a bad idea, especially if we implement a project idea form directly in the site.

Same goes for Solar Scorecard as well.

I think we need to get some SEO expert to give us a guide. But I think getting listed on brigade.codeforamerica.org will help. I started that...

Closing as a bit unfocused and a far-less-urgent problem now 🤓
