How to set the metadata, including page titles and descriptions for each page and blog post.
For more information about what Metadata and OG (Open Graph) Tags are and how they are used, view this article.
Each page on your site has its own metadata, including page title and description, OG tags and OG media (used for link sharing). This includes your site's home or index page.
Important: Setting your home page metadata will determine what is used when searching or sharing your domain name.
To edit a page's or blog post's metadata, follow these steps:
1. Click Website, then Pages, then select the page or blog post you would like to update from the list.
2. In the left editing pane, scroll to the very bottom until you see the Metadata or Search engine optimization section. Click the box below with the preview.
3. Enter a Page title and Page description, as well as a Page OG title and OG description.
4. Set a preview image for your page's by clicking Choose from library below Page Open Graph media. Select the image you would like to use in your page's preview.
5. Click Publish to update these changes on your website.
Setting Website Metadata
Note: The Global metadata settings are only used if your page does not have individual metadata set. To edit the main metadata used for your domain (www.yourwebsite.com), it is best to customize the Metadata section from your site's Home page (see above).

2. Enter a site Title and Description, as well as set your site's Favicon image by clicking Choose from library. Select the image you would like to use as your site's favicon.
