I’ve just set up Omeka S for our project Museum of Stolen Artifacts and we’re very happy with it!

I’m now looking to improve the SEO of the created website for better visibility and indexing by search engines. So far, I have:

  • Installed the CleanUrl module, which generates more concise and readable URLs.
  • Installed the Sitemaps module, which generates a dynamic sitemap for better indexing.

I would love to hear any additional practices for optimising SEO in Omeka S. In particular, I’d like to know more about:

  • Modules: Are there any other plugins or modules specifically designed to enhance SEO on Omeka S sites?
  • Meta Tags Management: An easy way for non-technical users to add meta tags for describing pages.

Thanks in advance!

I’d recommend that you install the ResourceMeta module to generate those meta tags directly from your metadata.

Thanks for the suggestion @sharonmleon! I’ve installed ResourceMeta and am trying it out now.

Do you know if Resource Meta supports custom vocabularies? We’re using a custom schema and I couldn’t find information on this in the documentation.

Additionally, what’s the best way to add meta tags to pages? We’re planning to share resources on the website and need to ensure we have effective meta titles and descriptions for them.

You can edit the module’s config file to add custom meta names. Open ResourceMeta/config/module.config.php and add to the resource_meta_meta_names array, like so:

    'resource_meta_meta_names' => [
        'my_custom_meta_names' => [
            'label' => 'My Custom Meta Names',
            'meta_names' => [
                'my_meta_name_1',
                'my_meta_name_2',
            ],
        ],
        'be_press' => [
        ...

The module does not add meta tags to site pages. It only adds them to resource pages (items, item sets, media).
