How to include "Created by..." information (e.g. on the OpenSea listing) on an NFT that you're minting programatically through a smart contract

Question

I've been writing test smart contracts in preparation for a project I'm launching soon. Here is one of the collections created by an example test smart contract: https://opensea.io/collection/quad-tech .

As you'll see, I'm most certainly not an artist, but more importantly I have two issues:

(1) the collection does not have a "Created by Biotechnology" tag in the way that say the Bored Ape Yacht Club collection ( https://opensea.io/collection/boredapeyachtclub ) has "Created by BoredApeYachtClub".

(2) The NFTs in my Quad.tech collection also don't have "Created by Biotechnology" in their descriptions, the same way that Board Apes have "Created by BoredApeYachtClub" in their NFT descriptions.

Do you know what the issue is here / what code I would need to add to my smart contract to add this "Created by" wording? Here is my smart contract: https://polygonscan.com/address/0x88d108917c172acc19c455da93c1518272f14b02#code

Thanks very much.

This has nothing to do with your smart contract code. That code is something that is meant to be executed on the Ethereum VM, and has nothing to do with the user interface of the OpenSea website (or any other website for that matter).

I see your NFTs already have some descriptions, like "A particularly lost hamster". You added that at some point when you created this asset/NFT. If you are the owner of this asset, you should be able to change the description of this asset to something like "Created by Biotechnology". If the description itself is part of the asset, then you might need to delete the existing ones and add new assets with desired descriptions.

I cannot see the "Created by BoredApeYachtClub" on their NFTs (must have missed it somehow), but similar applies here as well. I doubt a tag is a part of the asset. It's most likely just a mechanism on the website to filter assets/NFTs. You can simply create this new tag through the UI and tag your NFTs with it. This certainly won't be in the smart contract code.

Update :

After additional comments, it is now clear that what you want is to have an account/collection officially verified by OpenSea. Again, this has nothing to do with your smart contract code, but your collection has to become popular enough (reach trading volume of 100 ETH or more on OpenSea and have all collections items revealed) to become eligible for verification. And even then, it can take some time (probably depending on the workload of the team that does the verification) and it's not guaranteed.
