How to configure the SEO metadata of your Pages

Within Limio, you're able to configure certain aspects related to Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) to improve how your pages appear in search results, indexation options, canonical tags and more.

What are core SEO metadata?

If you're not an expert on SEO, let's start with some definitions:

• Meta Title: Meta titles (also known as title tags) appear as the titles on browser tabs/windows well as on the clickable page title on Google
• Meta Description: Meta descriptions are the block of text that appear below the URL of a website on Google Search Results Pages (SERP).

Those are important for branding and improving click-through rates and can be configured directly in your Limio app.

At the page level

Limio would recommend to set up SEO metadata at the page level.

Go to the page you want to configure.

Click on 'Attributes' and look for these two fields: Meta title and Meta Description.

If you don't specify a Meta Title, we will use the Shop Title which is set at the shop level (see below).

If you don't specify a Meta Description, search engines like Google will usually identify the most relevant content, for example the H1 content in a hero banner.

At the shop level

In the upper right corner, click on the profile icon and then Developers. Go to General Settings > Shop > Shop Title.

Here you can enter some text which will be used as the meta title for any pages that do not have a meta title configured.

You cannot set a global meta description. Google and other search engines will automatically index the most relevant content if one isn't available on your page.

Indexation

You can also specify whether or not you want the page to be indexed by search engine crawlers by toggling the Disable Index option on or off. 

⚠️ Limio recommends to de-index all pages on sandboxes.

Turning this setting on will add a meta tag to tell page crawlers e.g. Google, to not index this page.
