- Enter descriptive metadata specific to each page of the site (especially titles and descriptions). realContent allows you to edit the metadata of your website—this includes a title, a description, and keywords for each page. Metadata does not display on your website, but because it is embedded in the code of your website, search engines like Google and Yahoo will index this information for your site and it will help people find your website faster. Use keywords that are directly related to the content on your website.
- When filling out the SEO details of a page is it important to focus on the Page Title and Description fields. These two fields will have the most impact on optimizing search results for your website. You will want to write unique and relevant content in these fields so that search engines will be able to distinguish your site from others, yet the search will still be relevant to the everyday users.
