Web: Gitcoin SEO Audit: Add Meta Tags

[frankchen07]

User Story

As a Gitcoin admin I'd like the Gitcoin site to have metatags (content descriptors that help tell search engines what a web page is about).

Why Is this Needed

On the SEO side, this is high impact for Gitcoin.

Description

SEO Audit Clone Google Document, Meta Tag Recommendations Tab

On the tab named "Meta Tag Recommendations", the meta title and meta description of each of the pages needs to be updated with the provided title and descriptions, or with what the instructions in red denote.

Current Behavior

The meta description and title tags are not updated with what is currently in the "Meta Tag Recommendations" page.

Expected Behavior

The meta description and tags are updated with the recommendations and recommended ruleset (in red)

Definition of Done

• [ ] meta title tag is updated to the recommended one or follows the ruleset for the recommended one
• [ ] meta description tag is updated to the recommended one or follows the ruleset for the recommended one

@frankchen07

Then we also want a simple spreadsheet filled out, which I can give you comment access to should you take the bounty on

Can haz access?

[frankchen07]

@jdorfman - apologies for the delay. Sharing is weird, so I've created a clone here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k8w8PX59XISYWaRLmUwQvdsLDCiDH0jBIY08qsKpruw/edit?usp=sharing

[jdorfman]

All good @frankchen07 I'll get started on this tomorrow.

[jdorfman]

@frankchen07 can you give me some feedback in the spreadsheet before I update the meta tags?

[jdorfman]

I'm waiting for @frankchen07 to give me the next steps

[jdorfman]

Doing now:

So for the pages that already have the meta description in the html all you have to do is pull that into the spreadsheet. If there isn’t anything in the meta description in the html, then take the first sentence for the page. Anything that is in error just mark it as so, and we can deal with it later.

[thelostone-mc]

@frankchen07 is away for the week ! Sorry about that 😅
I'll ping him if you could tell me what you'd need.
You've got the acess to the spreadsheet right @jdorfman ?

[jdorfman]

@thelostone-mc yup just finished. LMK if you need anything else.

[thelostone-mc]

@jdorfman Do you have a PR with the updated meta tags for the HTML files ?

[frankchen07]

Checking with our SEO consult to see if we can close this ticket out and get payment to @jdorfman.

[frankchen07]

@jdorfman - so I've updated the ticket. There's titles and descriptions that need to be updated on the HTML - the recommended things to be updated are all on the spreadsheet under "Meta Tag Recommendations" - hopefully that's more clear.

I'll tip you some ETH for the work you've already done, since requirements have changed. :) (just sent, lemme know if you got it!)

Cool, I will update the HTML and make a PR asap.

Got it!

Only weird this is it doesn't show up on my profile or MetaMask History (yet).

[frankchen07]

^ huh interesting. Check back again later, and if it still doesn't show, perhaps that's something to put into a ticket.

[frankchen07]

@jdorfman - hows this issue coming along?

[jdorfman]

@frankchen07 I sent @thelostone-mc a message on Slack but didn't hear anything back. He gave me docker instructions and I wrote back:

Screencast link: https://cl.ly/683204dc6d6f

[frankchen07]

@jdorfman - any luck in figuring out the docker issue?

[jdorfman]

I'm stopping this. I'm not getting anywhere with the dev env and holding up the task. If I owe any eth please LMK.

[thelostone-mc]

Ah shucks sorry man ! i got flooded with messages and your ping just got lost in the mess !

I made the same change you made -> and it worked alright after a refresh.
I'm not able to reproduce this :|

I'd be happy to validate the change for you if you are still up to make a changes and throw in the PR.
You'd have to update the title attribute and it should render fine.

Again apologies for missing the ping 😅

[aashutoshrathi]

Shouldn't this be Meta Title tag?

[frankchen07]

@aashutoshrathi - yes, it shouldn't change the scope or nature of the ask though. Let me know if you need anything else!

[aashutoshrathi]

Sure.
I'll send PR for the same ASAP.

@aashutoshrathi thanks for picking up this bounty. We're almost there!

I did some spot checks - I saw that https://gitcoin.co/gas/faq doesn't have a meta title entry.

Is there an automated way to ensure that each page does indeed have the title and meta description filled out?

[aashutoshrathi]

Should I add meta tag to that page in another PR?

[frankchen07]

@aashutoshrathi - sure that would be appreciated :) Another quick PR and then it's payout time!

[aashutoshrathi]

Sure sending quick one.
