How to Set Up SEO Titles and Descriptions in SiteJet

Setting Up SEO Titles and Descriptions in SiteJet

Search engine optimization (SEO) helps your dotCanada-hosted website rank higher in Google and other search engines. One of the most important steps is setting a unique SEO title and meta description for each page.

Accessing SEO Settings Per Page

1. In the SiteJet editor, open the Settings panel.
2. Navigate to Settings > SEO.
3. Select the page you want to optimize from the page list.

Setting the SEO Title

• The SEO title is what appears as the clickable headline in search results.
• Keep it under 60 characters so it doesn't get cut off.
• Include your primary keyword naturally and your brand name (e.g., Web Design Services | YourBusiness).

Writing the Meta Description

• The meta description is the short summary shown under the title in search results.
• Keep it between 140–160 characters.
• Make it compelling and descriptive - while it doesn't directly affect rankings, a good description improves click-through rates.

Additional SEO Tips in SiteJet

• Set a unique title and description for every page - don't use the same text across your site.
• Use the page slug field to create clean, keyword-rich URLs (e.g., /services/web-design).
• Add descriptive alt text to all images through the image settings panel.
