Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
TheGreyWizard Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Where at within the AdminCP can I add/change/create the description for the website when you use a search engine? Currently it seems to be pulling info from one of my blocks on the main page - I don't want this as my search engine website description so I would really like to change it ASAP. Also when searching the terms "ohio cannabis" & "ohio marijuana" I seem to be getting first page results using the search engine DuckDuckGo - which is supposed to pull all their searches from google, but when I try to search google for the same term - ohio cannabis or ohio marijuana - my site isn't even on the first 10 pages! I am however getting 1st page results on Bing now - which is great! Any ideas, helps or tricks to get my site in a higher ranking? Should I be adding keywords and my other domain names to the meta description/keywords of the website? And if so, can anyone walk me through doing this for the first time, I'm a bit confused as to how to do this when I'm in the Meta Tags part of the SEO section within the AdminCP. Also the main "title" or whatever you want to call it for my wesite that is showing up in searches is: Ohio Cannabis Home Page - OhioCannabis.com How do I edit this down so that it's just OhioCannabis.com ? Thank you.

TheGreyWizard Posted May 12, 2016 Author Posted May 12, 2016 Ok I did that but all I see are the tabs Friendly URLs, Sitemap & Meta tags - I don t think I can edit the site description from within those 3?
Nathan Explosion Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Meta Tags - click Add Meta Tags. State what page it is for (uses a wildcard if you want to apply it to all) and if you want to override the page title then go for it. Then click Add and look at the drop down options in the Meta Tag Name and go from there.
TheGreyWizard Posted May 19, 2016 Author Posted May 19, 2016 Now I'm really perplexed, not only did I not change anything in regards to the site title, but now the search engine has now added "Society" to my domain name - no where on the website whatsoever have I ever called the website the Ohio Cannabis Society - so what is going on here and how do I fix this?
