Add SEO metadata for your website, gallery and page

For your website to be indexed and ranked by search engines, you need to optimize your website.

The most important step in this process is to add relevant metadata (title and description) for your website so that search engines will read and index your website.

The SEO metadata can be easily defined for your website in Pixpa.

Add SEO metadata for your website

You can specify unique SEO metadata for any content item individually from its settings section to override this global SEO metadata.

The options included on this page are:

SEO Description: This would be shown by search engines for your website in the search results along with the title. It should be between 150-160 characters.
