Meta data and SEO for sites and pages

Note: updating Twitter / LinkedIn / Facebook caches

After adding or updating SEO you may need to update the social network caches - this controls what is seen when sharing a page on these networks.

  • Meta data is used by search engines, social networks and other sources to read and display information about website pages.
  • Well written page titles and descriptions improve SEO and help to better read and rank site listings.

As an example, linking to an event webpage in a post on LinkedIn will extract page meta automatically

At a minimum it is typically:

  • Title - Expressive title for the page. This can use Evessio variables to dynamically name the page.
  • Description - a short description, generally less than 200 characters about the page
  • Image - and image which represents the page or site. This image is typically used when linking to the page.

Evessio supports meat structures for:

  • Page Meta - the standard HTML specified meta data
  • Open Graph (Facebook)
  • Twitter
  • Google

Global Meta settings are configured via Pages > Meta

  • These settings will be applied to all pages unless there are customised settings for a particular page.
  • The values are written to the source HTML of the website where they can be read by the providers and search engines.
  • Good Meta settings can improve website SEO

Page Meta Settings

  • All of the settings available globally are available on a page-by-page basis.

The Pages list view indicates which pages have meta settings and displays the Meta title


After changing the SEO/meta data it is necessary to re-publish your pages. You can do this by clicking the "Re-publish all pages" button in WEBSITE > Pages > Pages.
