How to Prepare Your Page for Search Engines in Onepage

In this article, we show you how to configure the SEO settings for your website.

Basic settings in the project – These apply across projects for your entire website.

SEO settings on individual pages – Here you can set individual SEO details per page.

Log in to your project and click on "Settings" at the bottom left. Then go to "SEO" to set the basic settings for your entire project.
​

Enter the name of your company or brand here. This will be displayed next to the favicon and URL in search results and strengthens your brand presence. Then click "Save"

Here you define how the titles of your pages are displayed in search results. By default, the website name and page title are combined automatically, e.g.: {{website_name}} – {{page_title}}

​
​1. Authorize Google Account
Log in with your Google account to connect your tool with Google Search Console. This allows your website to communicate with the Search Console and transmit data such as indexing and your page’s performance. Click "Authorize" and follow Google’s instructions to confirm access.
​

​
Once you have successfully connected and submitted your website, you will see that your Google account is authorized. You can also disconnect this connection again, but please note that the features of Google Search Console will no longer be available to you afterward.

2. Add Website to Search Console

After authorization, you can submit your website to the Google Search Console. This will monitor your website and give you insights into visibility and possible issues. In many cases, your domain will be suggested automatically; alternatively, you can enter and verify it manually.
​​

Once you click "Done," the following actions will be available after successful submission:

Add the Google Analytics ID or Google Tag Manager to track users on your website.
​

Structured data is automatically created here for your page so that search engines can better understand your content.

You can choose between Standard (recommended) and Custom if you want to use your own structures. Then click "Save" after changes.
​
​

Onepage automatically creates a sitemap for your website so search engines can find and index all pages correctly.

We recommend leaving the setting on Automatic (recommended), unless you need your own sitemap. Then click "Save" after changes.
​

Here a robots.txt file is automatically created to tell search engines which pages they are allowed to crawl.

We also recommend the standard setting (recommended), unless you need special rules. Then click "Save" after changes.
​

Here you can define which content AI bots are allowed to read from your site. By default, a file with an overview of your pages is created automatically to help AI systems understand your content. You can choose between Automatic or Custom if you want to restrict or control the content.

Optimize SEO directly on individual pages!

With the integrated SEO function, you can enter page titles, descriptions, and keywords directly in your editor, structure headings, and add alt texts for better findability and a clean structure of your website.

First open your project, then go to the page for which you want to configure the SEO settings. Click on “Settings” to open the page settings. Now select the “SEO” area to enter or edit the title, description, keywords, and other SEO options for this page.

First, you will see a live preview of how the page is displayed in search engines. Here you can edit the page title, description, and immediately see how your changes take effect.
​

The page title is one of the most important SEO factors for your website, as it is displayed directly in the search results and plays a key role in whether users click on your page.

The description provides a short summary of your page and is displayed under the page title.
​

Enter comma-separated keywords to help search engines better understand the content of your page.

You can fill these fields manually. For paid plans, an AI-assisted text creation is also available.

In the background, the system analyzes the page content and automatically creates suitable descriptions in the language set on the website.

Helps search engines better understand your page by listing all headings (H1–H6).

Here you get an overview of all headings on your page and can directly select which heading level (H1–H6) you want to assign.

This way, you can quickly and clearly adjust the structure of your page without having to search through each heading individually in the editor. Additionally, you immediately see which headings have not yet been assigned an H-heading and can add them directly here to optimally structure your page for search engines.

Describe images for screen readers, improve accessibility, and help search engines better classify your content.

Here you also have an overview of all alt texts, see which images already have alt texts, and which images still lack alt texts.

Besides the option to enter alt texts manually, you can also have AI-assisted alt texts created. This saves you time and ensures your images quickly receive appropriate descriptions to improve findability and accessibility of your page.
