Add a Title tag, Meta description, and Metadata
To add SEO details for each page, follow the steps below:
- Select Pages at the top of your dashboard.
- Click on the title of the page you want to change SEO details on.
- On the right-hand sidebar, click on SEO & Sharing to expand the sidebar.
The SEO & Sharing section will expand, and will show the SEO tab settings by default. Below are the fields and settings you can modify:
Title Tag | This should include a brief summary of what the page is about. Your Meta Title is the blue clickable text that appears in search results, so you will want something attention-grabbing. | |
Description | The Meta Description is where you will want to go into a little more detail about the content of your page or your website as a whole. In search engine results, this is the black text that shows up under the Meta Title. | |
Keywords | In this section, you can list the keywords and search terms that are relevant to the page. This is optional, and does not affect your page's SEO. | |
Navigation Label | A will allow you to set a different title/label for this page, seen in the navigation menu on your site - without affecting your page's title. This is optional, and does not affect your page's SEO. | |
Canonical URL |
Setting a Canonical Tag will help you to prevent duplicate content from being indexed. By clicking inside the box labeled Select Content, you will see a dropdown that lists all of the pages on your site. Ideally, you will want to select the page that you are currently viewing. |
|
Allow Search Engines to Index Page |
The toggle option allows search engines to index the page and display it in search results. If you do not want users to find your page via search engines (for example, a "Thank You" page), then toggle this off. |
|
Allow Search Engines to Follow Links | The toggle option allows search engines to follow links and index in accordance with the first option. |
The image below shows how the information you enter in the Title Tag and Description fields in the sidebar will appear in a Google search result.
