Improve SEO

[chrismclarke]

Would be great if the site would support SEO (google bot being able to link to individual collections, resources etc through the dynamic linking system) and unfurling (rendering nice text/image snippets to display when a link is shared).

This isn't trivial, but a few good links and examples can be found here:

Also worth noting chrome released last week a new version with an added seo audit within the audits tab which might be able to pick up on whether things are working correctly. Will probably also want to configure fetchasgoogle for the domain https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6066468?hl=en

May be good to include element that adds meta data as navigated: https://www.webcomponents.org/element/CaptainCodeman/app-metadata

May also need to move away from buttons and to more ahrefs? or update sitemap and manually submite (not sure if google crawl can navigate via buttons)
