Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
To optimize the search engine optimization of your website created with WebAcappella on Google, follow the recommendations below:
Configuring Page Properties
- Page Title and Description
These two elements are essential for SEO. Google uses the title and description to identify the content of your page and displays them in search results.
- Page title: Be concise and make sure the title reflects the main content of the page. Ideally, it should be between 60-70 characters long.
- Page description: This is a brief summary of your page that gives users an overview. Limit it to 150-160 characters.
- Physical Page Name
The physical name refers to the page's URL. Choose descriptive and simple URLs.
Example for a page about sports shoes: www.monsite.com/chaussures-sport.html
In WebAcappella, define this name via the page properties.
Referencing a Multilingual Site
A multilingual website should be treated as several independent websites for SEO purposes.
- Submission to Google: Each language must be submitted to Google individually.
To do this:
- Generate a sitemap for each language.
- Submit these sitemaps via Google Search Console.
Tip: You can also submit only the index for each language. This is useful if your site is simple and the home page clearly links to the other pages.
