Overview
Every page and template on your Commerce Vision ecommerce site has an included Page Properties section, where you can view/edit existing metadata and other SEO details. Metadata communicate important information about a webpage and are mostly invisible to website visitors (but some of it appears in search engine results).
Page Properties is accessed in the CMS. Depending on the page type, you may also be able to edit or add to what is there. Templates generally have limited SEO details while a page (custom and standard) will have more that can be changed.
Here's an example of SEO settings found by a search engine.
On this page:
Page Properties fields:
- Page Name - Id for a page or template. Standard pages and templates have default page names. For a custom page, the name was entered when it was created. Page names cannot be edited.
- SEO Friendly URL - SEO optimised URL entered as a user-friendly link to a page when page was created. It should be short and keyword-rich to improve click-through rates. It displays as the shared link on a social media page and in search engine results. Instead of the actual URL, it can be used in the browser URL bar on your site.
- Browser Page Title - Page title or SEO title contained in the HTML title tag. Important as it may be the first thing a search engine user sees on the results page, even before they get to your site. Also used as the tabbed browser title.
- SEO Description - Meta description that summarises a page's content. Shown in search engine results below the page title if site content more relevant to a visitor's search terms are not found.
- Image Name - OG image displayed when the link is shared.
