🕷️ Indexation (tracker)

[teolemon]

What

• Ensure Open Food Facts is well indexed by search engine in a timely manner
• We should aim for
  • near-real time indexation of new products (after Robotoff and the users have added it)
  • live reindexation of edited products
  • 100% indexation of existing products in all languages relevant to the countries they are sold in + English

Why

• Maximize impact (more/new people get answer to their questions)
• 🎁 Drive more donations to Open Food Facts (tracker) #5720 (a fraction of additional users will donate, become contributors…)
• 🔎 Search (Tracking bug) #5492 (Good SEO solves part of the search issue by allowing Search Engine and LLMs to index our data)
