How to advertise your website information to be harvested by Search Engine

About

WebSite is a page type that shows information to search engine over the whole website.

Generally, you would have only one page of this type and it would be your website home page.

ComboStrap sets automatically a website type page on the website home page if not set.

The exact definition of a website from semantic.org is a set of related web pages that are served from a single web domain.

Metadata

The following metadata are automatically added to a website page:

url, the base url
name, the website name
description, the tagline
image, the logo (as png)

You can set more metadata yourself:

check the json-ld example and what kind of properties may be added at Schema.org WebSite
and go to the Google Rich Result page to know how.

Internal Search Engine

We add also the internal search engine that implements the links searchbox in google rich result.

Example of google rich result that goes into your page to advertise your internal search engine
