Setting the SEO Title and Description for Your Content

Do you want to set the SEO Title and Description for your content?

This article will walk you through the easy steps to do this.

The instructions in this article apply to Posts, Pages, Media Attachments, any Custom Post Types, Categories, Tags and any Custom Taxonomies. We’re using the Add New Post screen in the screenshots below.

Important:

Search engines don’t have to use the SEO title and description you provide. They will generate the search result snippet on a per-search basis and it’s completely automated. They may use your SEO title and description or they may use something they feel is more relevant to the search term.

To get started, edit your content and scroll down to the AIOSEO Settings. You should see the Snippet Preview, as well as the Title and Meta Description settings.

The Snippet Preview shows an example of how your content may look in search results based on the Title and Meta Description you set.
