Managing Your Quick Content Custom Meta Tags
In your Quick Content account, you can add custom meta tags to each page of your mini website. Meta tags tell crawler-based search engines how to search and describe your website. For example, you can add a "description" meta tag to describe a page's content to search engines, or you can add a "robots" tag that prevents search engines from indexing the page.
There are three ways you can add custom meta tags to your Quick Content Website: You can add them to your entire Website, to the pages Quick Content creates based on the keywords you enter, and to your custom content and shopping pages.
If you add a meta tag with the same name to both your entire Website and an individual page, the page-level tag takes precedence.
You can edit or delete your custom meta tags at any time.
Working with Custom Meta Tags for Your Entire Website
On the Website Info screen, you can add, edit, and delete custom meta tags for your entire Website.
You can also add custom meta tags when you first set up Quick Content. For more information, see Setting up Quick Content.
