Open the SEO area#
In the moderation area, open the „SEO“ menu item. There you'll find all settings in one place.
Fill in the basics#
Set a meaningful default title and a short meta description (around 150 characters). Also check the language and whether search engines may index the site.
Set the social media preview#
Upload a preview image that appears when sharing — or leave it to the platform, which automatically generates an attractive preview image from your logo and name.
Register with search engines (optional)#
Enter the verification codes for Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools to register your site there and see statistics.
What the platform does automatically#
- A robots.txt and a sitemap with all public pages and ideas
- Canonical links against duplicate content
- Complete Open Graph and Twitter preview cards
- Structured data (Schema.org) for better Google results
- A dedicated preview for every idea, with title, text and image
FAQ#
From which plan are the SEO settings available?
From the Kommune plan — and also in the Organisation plan. In the Starter plan, sensible defaults are preset but not adjustable.
Do I have to upload a preview image?
No. Without your own image, the platform automatically generates a preview card from your logo, name and colors. For an individual image, just upload one.
What is a sitemap?
An automatically generated list of all your pages (reachable at /sitemap.xml) that helps search engines find your content completely. You don't have to worry about it.
