October 14, 2024

To enhance your website's SEO and visibility in Webflow, follow these steps to add meta titles and descriptions:

1. Log into your Webflow account and access your Dashboard. Choose the project you want to edit and open the Webflow Designer.

2. In the Designer view, locate the settings icon on the left side panel, represented by a gear or wrench symbol. Click on this to access Project Settings.

3. In Project Settings, find and click on the SEO tab to access the search engine optimization settings for your project.

4. In the SEO tab, locate the Meta Title field. Enter a concise and relevant title for your webpage, ideally between 50-60 characters, using keywords that highlight the page's main idea.

5. Below the Meta Title field, fill in the Meta Description box. This should be a brief summary of your webpage, including relevant keywords, with a length of 150-160 characters to ensure full display in search results.

6. To customize meta titles and descriptions for individual pages, return to the main Designer view and select the page you want to edit. On the right panel, under the Settings (gear icon) for that page, fill in the Meta Title and Meta Description fields with appropriate content.

7. After completing these fields, ensure your changes are saved by using a Save or Publish option, crucial for finalizing your SEO improvements.

8. To apply these updates to your live site, click the Publish button at the top right of the Designer interface, activating your new meta titles and descriptions.

9. Verify your changes by viewing your site in a web browser. Use tools like Google’s Inspect Element feature or SEO tools to confirm that your meta titles and descriptions are displaying correctly.

Following these steps will help optimize your website for search engines and potential visitors, making your content clear and engaging. Regular updates of your meta tags can maintain relevance and maximize SEO benefits.
