Phrase Forum metatags vs. Branding / SEO & Social?

​@revote “FUN!”

Well, I dont know about that 😀

I’ve been following closely on all things related to SEO here on Gainsight community (and formerly InSpired). Not much seems to be happening.

But here’s a few topics around this:

The description of how meta titles and meta descriptions work (MDs are “automatically populated” btw)
 

Here’s an idea by ​@timcavey about this:

And here’s an idea by me:
 

I understand, kinda, that MD is populated automatically for topics. But why for the community itself also?

I mean, I can see again that when searching our community name from Google, we dont have community MD in place. There is MD form random topic? Why MD is in place sometimes, and sometimes not?

What comes to ideas you shared, we used Khoros platform before this Gainsight. When you create new article, you can define SEO title and Meta Description for it. Each and every article individually, if you like. And of course you want.

Khoros doesnt have editable MD for topics either, it is populated automatically there as well. Communities have so many topics, I dont want to edit MD´s to each and every topic but sure, I see the benefit if I can edit MD to some of them.

For some reason these SEO related ideas doesn’t get votes here...

Yeah, the meta descriptions seem to randomly change also for categories and ideation. 🤔

I wonder, is this because of Gainsight platform or Google 🤔

Also, does this effect to our SEO? This is not my comfort zone but I think it might cause problems.

I hoped that Gainsight team joined to this topic?

• Why community´s meta description is some day from random topic, and later on MD is same what is set to platform settings? And later it is again from random topic (comment above)
• Does this cause problems to SEO?
• Why there are two different places where define SEO? From Control and frontend from Admin panel? (Question in the opening post)
• Why places of the phrases vary between different communities? (comment above)

This is getting ridiculous, when searching our community from Bing, Meta Description is in place and ok but our favicon is replaced with random members profile picture.

If I would not cry, I would laugh for this.

I agree, I see the same for your community on Bing. This is very random 🤔

Is it possible to have comments from the team now, ​@revathimenon / ​@Kenneth R or someone else? I have keep waiting...
