Let's break down what you'll find inside Page Settings:

Title Settings

Page Title

The title of your page that appears in the browser tab and often in search engine results. Make it clear, concise, and descriptive.

Page URL

The page URL is automatically generated from the page title, with words separated by dashes (-).

Metadata

Your Meta Title and Meta Description help search engines understand what your page is about and directly impact how your site appears in Google search results. A well-written meta title and description can significantly improve click-through rates.

Meta Title

The meta title is what appears in search engine results as the clickable headline. It should accurately reflect the content of your page and include relevant keywords.

Here are a few best practices to keep in mind:

• Keep titles under 60 characters to ensure they display correctly in search results.

• Include your primary keyword or phrase near the beginning.

• Use natural, readable language—avoid keyword stuffing.

• Add your brand name at the end when appropriate (e.g., “Custom Cabinets | Smith Woodworks”).

Meta Description

A short summary of the page that appears in search engine results beneath the meta title. Keep it engaging, informative, and under 160 characters.

Here are a few best practices to keep in mind:

• Aim for 150–160 characters to fit within search preview limits.

• Write a clear, compelling summary that describes what visitors will find on the page.

• Include a call to action when relevant (e.g., “Learn more,” “Get a quote,” “View upcoming events”).

• Use sentence case and keep punctuation simple—avoid all caps or excessive symbols.

Tip: Think of your meta title and description as your page’s digital “first impression.” A well-written snippet can boost traffic even if your ranking doesn’t change.

Social Sharing Image

This image appears when your page is shared on social media platforms. You can select any image you’ve uploaded to your File Manager. Choose a visually appealing image that represents your page content.

Publishing Controls

No Index

This setting allows you to toggle search engine indexing on or off. When No Index is enabled, search engines will not display the page in results.

No Index is great for:

• Landing pages for internal campaigns
• Thank you pages after form submissions
• Duplicate content pages

Warning: Avoid enabling "No Index" for pages that should be found in search engines — especially pages housed in the main Sitemap Pages section.

Draft

Toggles the page in or out of draft mode. Pages in Draft mode will not appear on your live site. Use this when a page is incomplete or under review.

Note: Anyone logged into Editor will see the draft page in your menu. When you visit the page on the frontend, it will show a "Draft" message in the top left corner to let you know that it is not visible to the public.

Password Protect

Allows you to restrict access to the page with a password. Only users with the password can view the page on the frontend. Your team is responsible for maintaining and sharing the password.

Password Protect is great for:

• Private team resources
• Internal training manuals
• Event registration pages for VIPs
• Client-specific dashboards or documents
