To promote your website on the Internet, you should enter concise and explicit content in the Meta data area for your Web pages. Search engines use this information when listing websites in search results.
If you enter information in the Keywords text box, Website Builder® creates a Meta tag for Keywords. You can create custom Meta tags if you want to include additional information. For more information, see Creating, Editing, and Deleting Custom Meta Tags.
Making these modifications is optional, however, they may improve your search engine ranking.
To Add Meta Tags to Your Website Builder
- Log in to your Website Builder account.
- From the Design menu, select Page Designer .
- From the Page tab, select Properties and then click Page.
- Edit the following:
- In the Browser Title, Heading Title, and Button Title fields, edit the titles.
- In the Filename field, edit the file name.
- By clicking the Meta Data tab, you can complete the following:
- In the Description field, enter a detailed overview of your website. The description displays with your website title and URL in search engine listings. You may want to include topics covered in the content, the Web Website name, company name, tag line, etc.
- In the Keywords field, enter keywords for your website. You may want to use words or phrases that Internet users might use to search for your Website. You may want to include the topic of your website or selected page, website name, company name, or other related terms. Keywords should be separated by a comma.
- To create a custom Meta tag, click Add Meta Tag, enter the name of the tag, enter keywords, and then click Apply. For more information, see Creating, Editing, and Deleting Custom Meta Tags.
- By clicking the Sitemap tab, you can set options that help Google® determine how often to check your Website by specifying the following:
- In the Change Frequency area, indicate the frequency with which you update the page. This tells search engines how often they should crawl your Website for updates.
- In the Priority area, select a priority level for the page. Priority tells search engines how important a page is relative to the other pages on your Website. Changing priority does not affect how often a page is crawled by search engines. Priority can be a number between 0.1 and 1.0 with 0.1 being the lowest and 1.0 being the highest. Your most important page should be a 1.0.
- By clicking the JavaScript tab, you can enter the javascript to use in the page header or body.
- Click OK.
