Best practice: Adding metadata to a site collection
Richardcolton Metadata is most definitely needed and it's not just a classic thing. Whether you use the Term Store, or just different types of columns to apply metadata to your content, it will improve the searchability of your content. Especially once modern search becomes more robust.
Beau Cameron is there a current recommended best practice for adding metadata to a modern SPO Site? e.g. do you add the metadata to the property bag or to the homepage via the Site Pages document library?
Since I have thousands of sites underneath the hub site, I would like to add metadata to the actual Sites themselves so when you search for a piece of metadata like lets say "Country" you can do a search for "India" and it will bring up all Sites that have metadata Country = India.
When you add the metadata to the Home page for example, it brings up the icon of the page in the modern search experience, rather then the Site.
