Meta info

The meta info is used to embed invisible information for search engines (SEO and internal search) and social media in pages.

The element is only visible offline in the page editor. It is invisible online. The element can be placed anywhere on the page and then applies to the entire page.

The following information can be entered in the fields of the Meta Info element:

  • Title
  • Keywords
  • Description
  • Canonical URL
  • Robots

In addition, an image can be stored, which will be displayed by social media when the page is shared. 

For Facebook and X (Twitter), special, deviating information can also be provided if required.

The Meta Info content element can be used in conjunction with the Shariff Social Media element. In this case, the information from the Meta Info element is shared on social media.

The Internal search customization  field influences the page's ranking in the website's internal search. The following options are available:

  • No customization
  • Rank higher: Only if keywords are found (this is the default setting)
  • Rank higher: Always when the page is found

These settings allow the page to be displayed higher up in the internal search results.

With “Rank higher: Only when keywords are found,” the ranking is only changed if one of the keywords specified in the meta info element is actually searched for.

With “Rank higher: Whenever the page is found,” the page is also ranked higher when it is found in a search, even if none of the specified keywords were searched for.

Please note that exact placement is not possible, as several pages can be ranked higher, for example.

 

External search engines, such as Google, are not affected by this setting.

Hits that have been tagged with a keyword via meta information can also be highlighted as “top hits” in the output. There is a new element setting in the search function for this purpose.

 

Some meta information, such as descriptions or keywords, can also be set via the page properties. If the Meta Info element is used on a page, meta information that has been specified in alternative ways will be overwritten.
