Is anyone interested in adding ProfilePage structured data to the existing Schema Metatag module as a paid project?

ProfilePage info - https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/pro...

Schema metatag module - https://backdropcms.org/project/schema_metatag

We would only need the Google-recommended properties that can be easily implemented.

For context, I believe the purpose of this data type is to combat the flood of AI-generated content now causing problems with search results. The idea is to tie content to actual people.

@daveb Two questions?

1) Does interest in this as a paid project mean that you are looking to pay someone to implement this feature or you are looking for someone to pay you to implement this feature? Either is fine, but it's not clear to me what you are asking for yet.

2) I was going to ask if this is necessary, given the current ability for Backdrop to link content authors to users profiles on the site. BUT, as I looked closer at the link you provided and I see that there may be value in adding this data to the metatags for search engines such as Google. 

"ProfilePage markup is designed for any site where creators (either people or organizations) share first-hand perspectives. It helps Google Search highlight information about the creator, such as their name or social handle, profile photo, follower count, or the popularity of their content. Google Search also makes use of this markup when disambiguating the creator, and in features such as ..."

 

We would like to pay someone to update the recently ported Schema Metatag to include a submodule for the ProfilePage structured data type. Then we would implement on our site where it makes sense.

Let me know if you have other questions.

 

 

Hi @daveb. I would be happy to give you a price for this. In the absence of any private messaging function, you can contact me through my website or LinkedIn.

If you visit my Backdropcms.org profile at https://backdropcms.org/account/yorkshirepudding you can see the modules I'm involved in (either created for Backdrop, ported to Backdrop, or taken on the maintainer role and added features/fixed bugs). You can also see a link to my website and LinkedIn profile. You can also see a link to my GitHub profile which will show all the contributions I make across Backdrop.

 

Hi @yorkshirepudding,

I used the contact form on your website.

Thanks,

Dave
