Each page in Zoho Sites has a dedicated SEO panel accessible from the page editor. Here you enter a custom page title that appears in the browser tab and in search engine result titles, a meta description that shows as the snippet under the link in results, and a URL slug that determines the page’s address. Zoho Sites also lets you set Open Graph title and image fields for social media previews. Changes to these fields take effect the next time the page is published.
SEO Settings should be configured for every page before the site goes live. The most important fields to fill are the page title and meta description, as these appear directly in Google search results and influence click-through rates. Pages that target specific keywords, such as a services page for a particular city or industry, benefit from including those keywords naturally in both the title and description fields.
Keep page titles between 50 and 60 characters and meta descriptions between 120 and 155 characters so they display without truncation in most search engines. Leaving the title field blank causes the page heading to be used by default, which may not be optimised for search. The URL slug should use lowercase words separated by hyphens and avoid generic terms such as “page1” or “new-page”.
A Bengaluru-based interior design firm set the SEO title on their services page to “Interior Design Services in Bengaluru | CompanyName” and wrote a meta description referencing apartment and office fit-outs with typical project budgets starting at INR 8 lakh. Within two months of making these changes, the page appeared in the top 10 results for their target local search term.
Yes. Zoho Sites generates an XML sitemap for your published site automatically. You can submit this sitemap URL to Google Search Console to help Google discover and index all your pages more quickly.
No. SEO title and meta description fields apply to the page regardless of the device. The same metadata is served to all visitors and to search engine crawlers.
