Make your site discoverable
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is how potential clients find you through Google and other search engines. creavio includes built-in SEO tools so you can control how your website appears in search results without any technical expertise.
Page titles
Every page on your site has a title tag that appears in browser tabs and search results. Write clear, descriptive titles that include your location and specialty. For example: "San Diego Wedding Photographer | Jane Smith Photography" is much more effective than just "Home."
Meta descriptions
The meta description is the short paragraph that appears below your page title in Google results. Write a compelling 150-160 character summary that makes people want to click. Include your location, specialty, and a reason to choose you.
Setting up SEO for each page
- Open any page in the website builder.
- Click the SEO tab in the page settings panel.
- Enter your custom page title and meta description.
- Preview how the page will appear in search results.
- Save your changes.
Sitemaps
creavio automatically generates a sitemap for your website. A sitemap is a file that tells search engines about all the pages on your site. You don't need to create or maintain it. It updates automatically when you publish new pages or blog posts.
Social previews
When someone shares your website on social media, the preview image and text come from your Open Graph settings. creavio lets you customize the image, title, and description that appear when your pages are shared on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other platforms.
Google indexing
- Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console to speed up indexing of new pages.
- Use your custom domain for better authority. Sites on custom domains rank higher than subdomains.
- Blog regularly — each post is a new page that Google can index, targeting new keywords and locations.
- Add alt text to images so search engines understand your visual content.
Quick wins
- Set unique titles and descriptions for your homepage, about page, and portfolio pages.
- Include your city and state in your homepage title.
- Write one blog post per session with location-specific keywords.
- Connect Google Search Console to monitor your search performance.
