From the page list, click on a specific page you want to view and edit the content.

If not defined specifically for each item (product, collection, page, etc.) in Edit pages (refer to SEO Analysis section for more details), the meta title and meta description will be displayed according to the meta templates on this page.

In the case meta template is empty, meta title and meta description will display as the default of Shopify.

You can set up a meta template for the following items:

1. Products

You can set up the meta template (meta title, meta description) and Image alt text for the products using the available tags provided by the app. Just copy the available tags and paste them in their respective positions and SEO Audit app will automatically generate meta title, meta description, and Image alt text the way you set it up.

You can custom apply Auto optimization (automatically generate meta title, meta description, and Image alt text that you just set up above) to all or any of the products you want with options like all products, specific products, including products, or excluding products. Just click on each field and select the products that fit your needs.

In case the product already has an SEO element, you can choose to keep existing SEO elements or replace them with auto-generated SEO elements.

Click on “Auto optimize” and “Save”; the app will automatically optimize products according to the meta templates you just set up.

2. Collections

Similar to auto-optimization for products, you can also create meta templates and image alt text for collections using available tags.

Our app allows you to select collections that apply auto-optimization and choose to keep or replace SEO elements when the collection already has SEO elements in place.

3. Blogs

The sections in “Blog” and the way to set up auto-optimization are similar to those in “Products” and “Collections”. But for “Blog”, there will be no image alt text generation. Look at the image below for more details!

4. Blog post

The sections and settings are the same as in “Products” and “Collections”. Refer to those 2 sections in this documentation and look at the picture below for more information.

5. Pages

Similar to the sections above, you can set up meta templates and image alt text to optimize the pages of your website. The setup is the same as “Products“, “Collections“, and “Blog posts“.

 

You can use the boxes in this section to verify with the different Webmaster Tools. This feature will add a verification meta tag on your home page. Follow the links to the different Webmaster Tools and look for instructions for the meta tag verification method to get the verification code. If your site is already verified, you can just forget about these.

Use this app and enter the corresponding verification code to link with search engines. If you don’t know how to get the verification code, click on the link below the corresponding box to learn more.

Sharing profile

While social shares may or may not affect a web page’s position in search listings, your social profiles definitely influence the content of your search results. In fact, social media profiles are often amongst the top results in search listings for brand names.

Adding your organization social profiles into SEO Audit to manage better your social sharing activities.

Social URL

We also integrated Open Graph into SEO Audit to help you easily set up and share your content through the most popular social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, etc.

A robots.txt file enables you to block specific automated bots and web spiders that crawl the Web in order to find more web pages to add to their company’s servers. Some bots you want to have full access to your website, such as Google’s or Yahoo!’s, and some others you would rather not, such as spambots, content thieves, e-mail collectors, etc.

SEO Audit’s robots.txt generation tool simply creates a file with exclusion directives for files and directories that are not meant to be public, and should not be indexed. You can edit the content of robots.txt file or restore it to the default configuration.

A sitemap is a way of organizing a website, identifying the URLs and the data under each section. Sitemap can be submitted to Google, Bing, and other search engines to help them crawl your website better and allow website visitors to easily navigate on your site.

SEO Audit generates a sitemap containing sub-sitemaps to all your pages without cronjob. It also provides a sitemap for each language if your website has multi-language mode. You can customize sitemap settings to satisfy your requirements.

Limit items: you can set a limited number of sites for each item. This is a dynamic sitemap, so when you add any new sites (new products, for example), the app will automatically update to the sitemap. However, you must ensure that the website you just added does not exceed the limit items. If the number of sites per item exceeds the limit items, you need to reset and increase the limit items to display enough sites on the sitemap.

In addition, if you want to add a site that is not in the choice list, you can add it to the sitemap by clicking “Add URL” then entering the URL and the site’s name. Click “Save” and you’ve done!

How to delete all the SEO Audit code

Installation of our SEO Audit app automatically injects certain code snippets into your Shopify theme in order to make the installation process fully automatic and make our app work fast and smoothly.

Unfortunately, when you uninstall SEO Audit, we lose programmatic access to your store, thus we cannot remove the code snippets that we injected automatically.

Although these code snippets that we add do not harm your store even after the uninstallation process, you might want to remove them anyway, the following guide will walk you through this process.

Step 1: Go to “Online store” in your Shopify Admin Panel > On your “Current theme” select “Actions” -> “Edit Code”.

Step 2: Find and open the “theme_ets_seo.bak.liquid” file:

– Copy all the content of this file.

– Open the “theme.liquid” file then paste the copied content into “theme.liquid” file. Save your change.

– Delete the “theme_ets_seo.bak.liquid” file.

Step 3: In the “Snippets” folder: delete “ets-seo-template.liquid” file.

Step 4: In the “Assets” folder: delete “ets_seo_app.css” file.
