Improve Elixir School's SEO

[pjhampton]

It doesn't seem like there is much on Jekyll SEO from the Jekyll Blog, just a couple of tips. What has been done and not from this post with Elixir School?

I have done nothing towards SEO. I just noticed that Googling for different Elixir resources didn't return Elixir School for many searches.

It seems like a good idea.

How do we measure this though? Some would argue SEO is never really done, and is more of a rolling effort. Maybe I could compile a list of tasks based on some research and work from there?

@pjhampton I haven't really thought about how to measure this yet. Right now there is no SEO and there should be some. Googling for Elixir resources should return Elixir School.

I reached out to some former colleagues who work in SEO. I'll update the issue as I get more information from them.

After a bit of thought I came up with a simple milestone:

• Elixir School should be on the first page of any Elixir resource, learning material, or tutorial search.

How does that sound? The plan would be to work incrementally towards that goal.

Two tools that were recommended to me:

• https://en.onpage.org/
• https://moz.com/tools/seo-toolbar

I'm going to close this now that the ball is rolling. I think we all know SEO is a never-ending 😀
