Every page on your website has a title and a description that appear in Google's search results — and often on social media when the page is shared. These are usually the very first thing a potential client reads about you, before they've even clicked through. Getting them right makes the difference between someone choosing your listing over a competitor's.

In Alvéya, you control this through your page's SEO meta data, and you can go further with custom meta tags for more specific control.

Before you start: have the page you want to edit already published or in draft inside Sites.

💡 Keep your title clear and specific — think of what a potential client would actually type into Google. "Chiropractic care for lower back pain in Brisbane" tells them, and Google, exactly what they'll find.

Custom meta tags give you more control beyond the basics — for example, telling search engines not to index a particular page, or fine-tuning how a page looks when it's shared on social media.In the same SEO section used above:

⚠️ If you want a page kept out of search results entirely — a draft, a thank-you page, or a private booking page — add a custom meta tag named "robots" with the content "noindex". Without it, pages you never meant to be public can end up in Google.

Google doesn't update instantly — it can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days for changes to show up in search results, depending on Google's crawl schedule for your site.

You can add as many custom meta tags as a page needs, but missing the essentials — like a description — can hurt how your page appears and performs, so start with the basics before layering on extras.
