Search Engine Optimisation is a critical part of building an organically successful website. Within Stor you're able to update the Category Meta Title and Meta Description.
Meta Titles
Meta titles give a brief description of the page content. These are generally shown on Search Engine Result Pages and give the potential visitor information about what the page contains from a quick glance.
Meta titles should ideally be between 50-60 characters and include specific "User readable" keywords for each page. Google specifically has updated its Search Criteria to give higher preference to a User First description and content. Essentially, don't "keyword stuff" your titles, descriptions, or content as this will only harm your SEO efforts.
Meta Descriptions
Meta descriptions allow more space to give more detail about the page in question. An ideal length for descriptions in 2022 is between 150 - 160 characters. Within the description, you can add secondary keywords that are relevant to the page, again without "keyword stuffing" and keeping it Human readable.
Steps to Edit Your Category Page SEO
