SEO and Social Sharing

Laravix handles the technical side of SEO for you — meta tags, social sharing previews, a sitemap and structured data. Your job is just to fill in good titles and descriptions. This article shows where.

Two levels of SEO settings#

1. Site-wide defaults — in Settings → SEO (site admins only). Used whenever a page doesn't set its own values. See Site Settings.
2. Per-page fields — the SEO tab on every page and post. These override the site defaults for that one page.

The SEO tab on a page#

• Meta Title — the title shown in search results and the browser tab. If empty, the site-wide meta title is used; if that's empty too, the page's own title.
• Meta Description — the snippet under the title in search results. Up to 160 characters. Overrides the site-wide default.
• OG Image — the preview image when this page is shared on social networks. Overrides the site-wide OG image. Laravix serves it in the ideal 1200 × 630 size automatically.
• Hide from search engines — asks search engines not to index this page and leaves it out of the sitemap. Useful for thank-you or campaign pages.

What Laravix does automatically#

• Sitemap — available at yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml, always up to date with your published content (drafts and hidden pages are excluded).
• robots.txt — served at yourdomain.com/robots.txt, with the sitemap address included.
• Social previews — Open Graph and Twitter tags are generated from your titles, descriptions and OG images.
• Structured data — machine-readable info about your organization and site, including the social profiles from Settings → Social.
• Language links — on multilingual sites, search engines are told about all language versions of each page.
• Canonical addresses — every page declares its official address, preventing duplicate-content issues.

A practical checklist for a new page#

1. Write a clear, specific Title.
2. In the SEO tab, add a Meta Description that makes people want to click (max 160 characters).
3. If the page will be shared on social media, set an OG Image.
4. Publish, then use the Preview button and check the browser tab title.

Tip: You don't need to fill the SEO tab on every page. Set good site-wide defaults once, and override them only on pages that matter most — the homepage, key products, campaigns.
