By default, you will want to change your âdefault page titleâ which will be used for the homepage if you havenât set a proper title there. You can easily edit page titles for Products and Categories as well. You will want to do some keyword research and go through optimizing your most important products and categories with keyword-rich titles and meta descriptions. You can easily find where to edit products and categories within the Magento admin, simply navigate to Products > Catalog to edit product page titles or Products -> Categories to edit category page titles.
By default, Magento URLs will end in â.phpâ. To clean up your URLs for search engines and users alike, navigate to Store > Configuration > GEneral > Web > URL Options and select âYesâ for âServer URL Rewritesâ.
Duplicate content is an issue that plagues many websites, especially on Magento sites. This can come from paginated category pages or other pages with very thin or similar content. Essentially, a canonical tag will tell Google where the ârealâ version of a page exists that they should index, and tells them to ignore the non-canonical versions of said content. Canonical tag settings can be found in the main Store > Configuration area.
By default, Magento 2 doesnât support automatic sitemaps. Your best bet is most likely to download an extension called Dynamic HTML Sitemap for Magento 2. You then submit your sitemap to Google Search Console to make sure all of your important pages are indexed.
Your robots.txt file is a way to tell bots and other crawlers which files and folders you want them to ignore when crawling your site. Simply go to your websiteâs domain /robots.txt to view your current robots file. You can use robots.txt checkers online to see if any important pages are being blocked by your robots.txt file, and then correct the issue if so. Robots files can be found in Magento very easily right in the admin, simply go to Stores > General > Design > Edit custom instruction of robots.txt file.
