How your site appears in Google and on social
Title, description and share image — for the whole site and for each page.
On the “Marketing and SEO” screen you write what Google shows in a result, and what WhatsApp and Facebook show when somebody sends the link. There is a preview of how it will look.
The lengths written on the screen
- Title — up to 70 characters. Longer than that is cut off in the search result.
- Description — up to 200 characters.
- Share image — the address of an image on the internet.
What you do not write is simply not written. We do not invent a title or phrase a description on your behalf; an empty field falls back to the app's name.
Each page on its own
Below the settings for the whole site there is a row per page. A page with no settings of its own inherits the site's.
To appear, or not to appear
One switch decides whether search engines may show the site. While it is off we ask all of them not to, and the site map file stops being generated as well. While it is on and the site is live, you can open robots.txt and sitemap.xml from there and read exactly what was written.
A “by link” or “private” app will not appear in Google in any case, whatever this switch says. Nor will an app that is not live yet — the settings are saved and take effect when it goes up.
A change here applies to the next request to the site, not to the next build. You do not need to rebuild for a new title to appear.
