SiteManager - SEO

Summary

This article provides a general overview of metadata and keyword fields, enabling users to easily find your article through keyword searches.

Body

Page settings have been updated to include metadata description and keyword fields, so you can control the description that appears in public search results and identify the topics included on a page.

Page Description – Required

A page’s meta description should employ the keywords that page is targeting, and also create a compelling description that a searcher will want to click. It should be directly relevant to the page it describes, and unique from the descriptions for other pages.

  • Meta descriptions can be any length, but Google generally truncates snippets to ~155–160 characters.

Keywords – Required

Keywords should reflect the queries that your target audience is searching on Google. Unique keywords should be employed on each page of your site. Keywords range from single words to complex phrases and are used to inform website content to increase relevant organic search traffic.

 Metadata fields are located on the settings menu.
