Search engine optimization user interfaces

  • Updated

Optimizely Configured Commerce lets you manage the search engine optimization (SEO) of your website, including managing the indexing of site pages, choosing which pages to show in the search engine, and choosing which pages to hide. This helps you to manage and implement your business strategy more effectively.

Admin console

In the Admin Console, go to Websites > Edit for the desired website > SEO to manage the settings. You can select or deselect which pages to display for search crawlers or deliver to the search engine via a sitemap. The SEO Settings page also provides the option to hide all products from a search crawler by clicking Hide all products from search engines.

Upon sitemap creation, Optimizely immediately pings search engines such as Google and Bing to alert them of the new data available.

CMS

You can add or remove website pages from the sitemap within Configured Commerce's Content Management System (CMS) using the in-context editing field.

Selecting or deselecting the page in the CMS also affects the associated setting in the Admin Console.

  1. Click View Website in the Admin Console.
  2. Toggle on the Content Editor and select the desired website.
  3. Select the page you wish to edit.
  4. Click Hide from Search Engine to remove this page from the site map.
  5. Click Save to finalize page edits.

    Selecting or deselecting the page in the CMS also affects the associated setting in the Admin Console.
