Catalog console issues and course page SEO restrictions

[jmsmit49]

Catalog Users Group Canvas Developers meta data seo java script Catalog Community - putting some feelers out there to see if anyone else has experienced search console issues and course page SEO restrictions in their catalog environment. 

1. Has anyone discovered a better solution for metadata on the catalog course description pages; we came up with our own Java script solution that's not really working well with Google (IE it's not being read correctly). We want to know if the community has found another good solution for H1, H2, title and meta descriptions on the pages. 
2. Has anyone found a way to access the search console information on the catalog course pages? Every page that has courses.cpe.asu.edu (for example) as part of its url is inaccessible to us in Google Search Console.

We are open to collaboration if anyone else is working on these issues!

I feel that the current Canvas Catalogue lack the following SEO features:

• Meta Tag Keywords and Description (Search Engine Optimisation)
• Open Graph Tags (For sharing on Social Media Platforms)
• Rich Snippets on Course Listings (Enhance the Search Engine Results)

The catalogue is built to showcase the courses. Without the above features, it is rather a weak product for showcasing courses as we are unable to leverage the Search Engines and Social Media to reach out to the masses.

Making sure that your HTML is structured correctly, using appropriate H1, H2, title, and meta description tags, will help search engines better understand the content of your pages.
