Adding Basic SEO to Caorda Content

Using Caorda Content to edit SEO Metadata

At a minimum, adding SEO metadata using Caorda Content involves the following:

  • Adding a title to your page
    You may define a title that appears on all pages of your website. If the title adequately describes the content of that page, search engines will be able to more accurately ascertain what that page is about. Title can be defined at the site level or at the page level.
  • Adding a short description to your page
    The Description appears in the HTML code of every web page, and is used by search engines to associate a description with your website. Descriptions can be defined at the site level or at the page level.
  • Adding keywords to your page
    Keywords appear in the HTML code of every web page, and are used by search engines to associate search terms with your website. Keywords can be defined at the site level or at the page level.
  • Adding custom metadata elements
    Custom metadata elements are user-defined sections used for application-specific purposes (ie. Google’s webmaster tools).

Note. The Description and Keywords defined for a Page take precedence over the Description and Keywords defined for a Site. Note that the Browser Page Title takes precedence over a Page Name.
