Optimizing Search Engine Results in SiteManager

The page settings now include fields for metadata descriptions and keywords. This allows you to manage the description shown in public search results and specify the topics covered on a page.

Page Description – Required

A page's meta description should include the target keywords and provide an enticing summary that encourages clicks. It must be relevant to the page and distinct from other pages' descriptions.

  • Meta descriptions can vary in length, but Google typically shortens them to about 155–160 characters.

Keywords – Required

Keywords must match the searches of your target audience on Google. Each page of your site should use unique keywords. These can be single words or longer phrases, and they help shape your website content to boost relevant organic search traffic.

 Metadata fields are located on the settings menu.
