      We are changing our homepage (and gradually the rest of the site) to Angular JS.
      In order not to lose anything in terms of SEO we are implementing Hashbangs + escaped fragment snapshots.

      Are there any other SEO considerations you think we should have and/or additional elements that we could add to the page to improve it in terms of SEO?

          Check my answer to a similar question: http://moz.com/community/q/angular-seo

          I am a big advocate of Angularjs, it's a great framework and I use it in every project. I always put SEO on top of my priority list when starting a new project and I never use hashbangs.

          In my opinion hashbangs are fundamentally wrong, an old hack born when pushstate was not available.

          The only case where Hashbangs make sense is for old complex application/javascript website developed without thinking about SEO, when you evaluate to modernize the app is too complex and not worth it.

          You can happily use angularjs and benefit from its routing api without messing around with hashbangs.
