Search engines

What Google shows for your page: a title, a short description, and whether to list the page at all.

When someone searches your name, Google shows a title and a line of text. You set both here. They live under Search engines on the Page tab in Settings.

Set the title and description

  1. Open Settings and pick the Page tab.
  2. Under Search engines, type an SEO title of up to 60 characters: "Rosa's Pizza, Brooklyn". Empty means your name is used.
  3. Type a Meta description of up to 160 characters: what you serve and where. This is the line under the title in the results.
  4. Keep Include in sitemap on while your page is live.
  5. Save.
The Search engines block with the SEO title, the meta description and the Include in sitemap switch
Title, description, sitemap switch. That is the whole setting.

Good to know

  • Put the town or neighbourhood in the title. People search "pizza Brooklyn", not "pizza".
  • Google takes days to weeks to show changes. Nothing is wrong if it is slow.
  • Turn Include in sitemap off only if you do not want the page found by search, a private event menu for example.
