What this is used for

SEO and social sharing metadata for a page

How you use it

The parts that surround every page: header, footer and page metadata. There is usually one entry, and it affects the whole site.

Used by

content types

Entries of this type are listed by their Meta Title. That is the name you and everyone else will see when searching for the entry, so make it descriptive.

Fields you can fill in

Field	What goes in it	Notes
Meta Title metaTitle required	Short text	—
Meta Description metaDescription	Long text	—
Canonical URL canonicalUrl	Short text	—
OpenGraph Title ogTitle	Short text	—
OpenGraph Image ogImage	One image or file	—
Hide from the XML sitemap excludeFromSitemap	Yes / no	On = leave this page out of sitemap.xml. Use it for pages that exist for a campaign or a direct link and should not be advertised to search engines. It does NOT stop the page being indexed if something else links to it — for that, use 'Tell search engines not to index'.
Tell search engines not to index (noindex) noIndex	Yes / no	On = this page must not appear in search results. This is the only setting that actually removes a page from Google; hiding it from the sitemap does not. A noindexed page is also dropped from sitemap.xml automatically — listing a page you have asked Google to ignore is a contradiction search engines report as an error.
Tell search engines not to follow links (nofollow) noFollow	Yes / no	On = search engines should not follow any link on this page. INDEPENDENT of 'noindex' (§5.13 requires each to be settable on its own): a page can be indexed but not followed, or followed but not indexed. Rarely needed — leave off unless someone has asked for it.
No text snippet in search results (nosnippet) noSnippet	Yes / no	On = the page can be listed, but Google must not show a text preview under the title. Also blocks the page from AI overviews. Independent of the other two.

Fields kept in step automatically

These appear greyed out, or not at all. They are filled in from another system, so anything typed here would be overwritten.
