Metadata in head
Multiple metadata fields are filled in to increase SEO including: description, keywords, og:title, og:description, og:image, apple-mobile-web-app-title, msapplication-TileColor, apple-touch-icon, manifest, mask-icon and theme-color. These fields will also help in how the website gets previewed when the url is used on social media or chats.
Schema.org attributes
We use schema.org attributes and some bioschema.org extensions to describe certain objects on the website more in detail including contributors.
For example:
