Bing index won't use property="og:description" from the meta tag in _includes/seo.html #2493
Closed
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Bing will complain of SEO issues unless a <meta name="description" content="...">
tag is present.
Describe the solution you'd like
You can either add another meta tag inside {% if page.excerpt %}
in _includes/seo.html, or write the meta tag like this:
<meta property="og:description" name="description" content="{{ seo_description }}">
. I have tested both methods:
- Google is fine with og:description or nothing at all
- Bing supports only meta tags with
name="description"
present. Bing is also fine with the option where bothname="description"
andproperty="og:description"
are present.
Additional context
At least the crawler used by the https://www.bing.com/webmasters site is problematic in this context, I don't know about IndexNow.
