Change Details

The goal here is to determine if adding section-level metadata about topics, etc. will have any effect on how our pages are rendered on Google search results. Rough suggestion of how to proceed: * Select a number of pages to test, retrieving the HTML output. Nothing complicated, just view-source is fine. Shoot for a variety of page lengths, section structures, and any other variables that may be interesting. * Manually edit the markup to include metadata about section topics - https://schema.org/docs/gs.html#microdata_itemscope_itemtype in particular, but various other relevant information at your discretion * Run the resulting pages through https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/structured-data * Determine if anything has changed!

Note that this spike will help us determine if any information related to sections will help with Google SEO. It will not help us determine if the information we actually obtain from section topics is enough to help with SEO. If this spike is successful, we will need a follow-on spike to use sample blue-link based section topics for a similar experiment.
