Defining Site SEO Settings

Use the search engine optimization (SEO) settings to improve the visibility of your site in Google searches or other search engine search results.

About SEOClosedEach page in your site includes a page title, page description and keywords that appear in the HTML code but is not visible to your site visitors. Search engines rely on this content when ranking and classifying your site in their search results, so it is important to make the content as accurate and descriptive as possible.

To Define SEO Settings:

  1. In the website builder, click SEO.

  2. When the SEO Settings panel opens, enter Meta Keywords for your site. Your site visitors do not see the information you include as meta keywords.
    More about meta keywordsClosedMeta keywords provide information about your web page to search engine robots, web crawlers and spiders so that the search engine can better understand what your site is about. You can also use meta keywords to promote your site to search engines, the site author's name, a description or short summary of the website or web page, or copyright information. Some search sites such as Google's Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools require that you validate ownership of a site by either uploading an HTML or XML page or adding a specific meta tag to the home page.

  3. In the Footer and/or Header code sections, insert any verification and analytics tracking codes to use on the site.
  4. Click Save.

  5. Click Preview to see how the page will look to visitors on your site, then click Publish if you are ready to publish your changes.
