Search Engine Tools - Page Title and Meta Tags

This option is only available for accounts with Community plans and higher. See: Pricing

Wild Apricot platform has been designed to be search engine friendly - so that content of your site will easily be read and indexed by crawlers, whatever account plan you use.
This feature provides additional tools for web pros - ability to edit page titles, meta tag descriptions and meta tag keywords. You can edit meta tags for the whole site - or adjust them for each page individually. Page titles can be generated automatically - or edited for each page as well.

Meta tags for the whole site

Global meta tags allow you to define default meta tags settings for all webpages. Go to Settings / Meta tags (For Search Engines).

You have the following three options:

  1. Keywords - enter your keywords separated by comma. Keywords will be inserted on every page into <meta name="keywords"> tag.
  2. Description - enter your description phrases separated by comma. Description will be inserted on every page into <meta name="description"> tag.
  3. Raw header - Enter HTML code to be inserted on every page into <head> tag.

After you enter the meta tags you need to click on [Reset all pages to use this] button. Meta tags will be applied to all webpages. Click on [Save] button to exit.

Individual webpage meta tags

To customize individual page meta tags go to Web pages / select the webpage that you want to optimize / click on [Meta tags] button.

Individual meta tag settings are similar to global meta tag settings with the following differences:

  1. Page title - will be inserted on this page into <title> tag. Page title will appear on top of the internet browser. You could also use Use automatically generated page title check box to generate automatic title.
  2. Use Default - by default every page is using global meta tags. If Use Default is checked then the edit area is grayed out and you are not be able to edit it. If you need to edit the default meta tag you have to remove the check mark and edit tags.

Note: if you update global meta tags - they will be updated for all individual pages wherever the Use Default is selected. Any meta tags specific for a page (not default) will not be affected by global meta tags update.

After you are finished, press [Save] button. Repeat this for all the webpages that you need to optimize.
