      How to manage single page SEO and Indexing

      Page Settings and SEO

      Access page settings by clicking the settings icon next to each page. You have the following options:

      • Rename. Rename the page in the editor. This does not change the page URL.

      • Hide in navigation. Make the page hidden on the navigation menu. It will still be visitable by the direct URL.

      • Duplicate. Creates an exact copy of the page.

      • Publish page. Publish changes on a single page. 

      • Page URL. Customize the URL for the page.

      • SEO. Access all the SEO settings for the page. For more information, see the SEO section below.

      • Set Access. Set a password for the page or configure the page for members only.

      • Convert to Dynamic Page. Click to convert the page to a dynamic page. Select a collection, and click Done.  

      • Set as a draft. Set a page as a draft when you do not want it to be searchable or on the live site. 

      • Delete. This deletes the selected page.

       

      Page SEO

      Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a site or a web page in a search engine's un-paid search results. Sometimes this is called "natural" or "organic" traffic.

      💡 We recommend adding SEO information (title and descriptions) on the page level, so each page can have a unique title and description. This is more beneficial than having one title and description shared across the entire site.

      On a page’s SEO screen, the following options are available:

      • Set page to no index. Tell search engines not to crawl this page so it won’t appear in search results. Draft pages are set to no index by default. 

      • Page meta title. This is the text that appears on SERP results, browser tabs and when sharing this page on social media. Use ✨AI to assist in generating the title.

      • Page meta description. The meta description appears in SERP results. Use ✨AI to assist in generating the description.

      • Page keyword. Search engines no longer take entered keywords into consideration when ranking websites, so these are optional.

      🤖 Pro Tip:  Use ✨AI to assist in generating page title description!

      Alternatively, you can change page SEO from the site dashboard.

      • Site Dashboard -> SEO -> Page SEO

      • Use ✨AI to generate tags or type them in yourself, click next:

       

      • Once you're satisfied Save Meta Tags! 

      Header HTML

      You can also edit the header HTML for that page only. However, it is important to note that consent management apps are not able to prevent code from running prior to consent when the code is placed in the header HTML. This is because BLAZE Sites optimizes the structure and order of how content loads, based on performance best practices on the site. We place scripts and CMP banners lower on the page, in order to improve the performance of primary content. Because of this, it is recommended to place code in the body-end when using a consent management app.

      🚨 Important: Consent Management Platform (CMP) code should be placed in the body-end HTML (before the closing </body> tag), as recommended. Avoid adding other code to the header HTML unless you fully understand the potential risks.

       
         

      Prevent Search Engines from Indexing a Page

      For maximum SEO benefits, all pages of your site are discoverable by search engines. However, if you would like to instruct search engines to drop or not include this page in their index after they crawl the page, you can do that in the page settings.

      Pages protected with membership access are not accessible to site crawlers. However, if a user logs into a membership protected page and copies the CDN link to a file or image, they will be able to share it.

      To prevent search engines from indexing a page:

      1. In the side panel, click Pages.

      2. Click the settings icon for the specific page.

      3. Click SEO.

      4. Click the No Index toggle. This instructs search engines to drop or not include this page in their index after they crawl the page.

      5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each page you do not want to be indexed.

      • If this page was previously indexed, this change will take several weeks for search engines to update and remove the page.

      • This setting adds the <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> tag into the head of the page for search engines to read.
