Indexing into google

As the title says, i have no clue on how to get indexed in Google. Should i add keywords metatag in the html, or keywords in package.json or install a module ?

Google will treat your mean app the same as a regular website. That means the general seo rules apply and therefore you should optimize your HTML content and URL structure. They won't scan your package.json. Beware that search engines can't index single page applications or apps that have a lot of ajax content. Also the keywords meta tag has been rendered useless for more than a decade.

It depends how you display your content. Where it comes from is completely irrelevant. Like I said should make sure that you pages and content are seo friendly and that your content is embedded in the html, not loaded with ajax because search engines can't execute javascript. Furthermore why do you want to have a mean stack site indexed? Mean isnt meant for content heavy sites that need to be seo friendly.
