SEO Considerations

• SEO titles and descriptions are separate from page titles/descriptions
• Used only in search results, never displayed on website
• Can be optimized for search engines while maintaining different on-site display
• Managed through SEO tab in page settings

Version 7.1 Specifics

• Page descriptions cannot be added
• Page titles can be edited but rarely display on website
• Visible in browser tabs and search results when no SEO title exists
• Shop pages can display titles above category navigation when enabled
