About SEO and site settings

Site settings control details that apply across a classic Pagecloud site. Use them to manage search visibility, redirects, the sitemap, your favicon, the home page, and other site-wide behavior. Page settings handle details for one page, including its title, address, indexing, and social sharing image.

Start with accurate page content and clear navigation, then use SEO settings to help search engines interpret the site. Publish after changing settings that affect the live site, and test redirects before sharing an updated URL. Analytics and third-party tracking can help you understand results, but review your privacy and consent requirements before collecting visitor data. AI Site users can ask Paige to manage supported SEO, tracking, sitemap, and redirect settings.

Site-wide settings and page-level settings work together. Use site settings for the site's overall identity and behavior, then review titles, descriptions, indexing, and sharing details on important pages. When you rename or remove content, preserve useful inbound links with redirects and verify that the sitemap lists only pages you want visitors to find.
