At least for me, just typing osgeo into google won't find osgeo.org. The
first item is the osgeo wiki, but osgeo.org doesn't show up on the first
page, which seems like a serious problem. Sorry if this is a known issue.

Comment (by lnicola):
Can confirm. I see nothing wrong with robots.txt (which is missing, except
for a meta tag) or the main page, except maybe this tag, which seems
unfortunate, but shouldn't be a problem:
{{{
<meta property="og:description" content="Sorry, but you do not have
permission to view this content." />
}}}
And it doesn't even show up for {{{site:osgeo.org}}}, which is even more
surprising.

Seems to be just google though.
I tried duckduckgo - https://duckduckgo.com/?va=t&t=hi&q=osgeo&ia=web
and osgeo.org comes up first.
Also tried -
https://www.ecosia.org/search?method=chromedefaultnewtab&q=osgeo
and osgeo.org comes up first.
You know how long this issue has been going on?

I note that github seems to be one of the first - https://github.com/OSGeo
but github page is linked to the http instead of the https. Someone on
github/OSGeo should fix that.

Comment (by cvvergara):
From SEO:
problems:
* Outbound links: No outbound links appear in this page. Add some!
* Internal links: No internal links appear in this page, make sure to add
some!
* Keyphrase length: No focus keyphrase was set for this page. Set a
keyphrase in order to calculate your SEO score.
* Meta description length: No meta description has been specified. Search
engines will display copy from the page instead. Make sure to write one!
* Text length: The text contains 92 words. This is far below the
recommended minimum of 300 words. Add more content.
Improvments:
* Image Keyphrase: Images on this page do not have alt attributes that
reflect the topic of your text. Add your keyphrase or synonyms to the alt
tags of relevant images!
Good Result:
* Images: Good job!
* SEO title width: Good job!
Changes done so far:
* Focus Keyphrase: from (empty) to "OSGeo"
* Had to modify some other pages that used this one word as keyphrase
* Meta description: from (empty) to "OSGeo, OpenSource for GeoSpatial
Fosters global adoption of open geospatial technology by being an
inclusive software foundation"
* Title: from "Homepage" to "OSGeo"
Now:
Good result section is:
* Images: Good job!
* Keyphrase in SEO title: The exact match of the focus keyphrase appears
at the beginning of the SEO title. Good job!
* Keyphrase length: Good job!
* Keyphrase in meta description: Keyphrase or synonym appear in the meta
description. Well done!
* Meta description length: Well done!
* Previously used keyphrase: You've not used this keyphrase before, very
good.
* SEO title width: Good job!
This are still problems:
* Outbound links: No outbound links appear in this page. Add some!
* Internal links: No internal links appear in this page, make sure to add
some!
* Keyphrase in introduction: Your keyphrase or its synonyms do not appear
in the first paragraph. Make sure the topic is clear immediately.
* Text length: The text contains 92 words. This is far below the
recommended minimum of 300 words. Add more content.
Comparing with https://www.osgeo.org/about/
That one is ok with outbound links, internal links, and text length, but
has a text editor section.
Next steps:
* Add a text editor to the main page and copy some of the content onto the
main page
* Check tthe following documentation: https://wordpress.com/support/seo/

Comment (by robe):
I ran this thru PageSpeed https://pagespeed.web.dev
and it pointed out the site is not indexable because I must have put an
entry in the nginx perhaps copying from another config or when I was
testing on osgeo9 before I officially moved the site and forgot to take
the entry out.
The entry was
{{{
add_header X-Robots-Tag none
}}}
I've taken that out of the nginx config and reran and it no longer shows
blocked from indexing.
Vicky I'll leave this open for you to finish off the numerous SEO issues
we have with the site.

Comment:
Added a text editor box, and copied from the OSGeo About page
The contents of the box do not show up, but SEO is not complaining.
As the design do not include to have text about OSGeo on the front page,
then there is no need to change the php of the front page, but the SEO now
is on green status.
