    Article Summary

    Document360 offers several ways to customize your article metadata to make the most out of SEO. You can update the SEO metrics within a few seconds. It'll help in yielding organic traffic to your knowledge base.

    Meta title

    The Meta title is the title that is shown on the search engine results page (SERP). The meta title is also referred to as the SEO title. The Meta title differs from an article title and will appear on a search engine result page or when the article link is shared on social media or other websites. This allows you to optimize a title to include more keywords that relate to your product than you would in your knowledge base.

    Updating the SEO title does not change the title of the article in your knowledge base.

    What happens if no SEO title is specified for an article?

    If the user does not specify any SEO title, the article title entered while creating the article will be added as the default SEO title. SEO title will not change with any future article title changes.

    How to add/update the Meta title?

    Meta description

    Similar to the meta title, the meta description is the summary that will be returned on a search engine result page or when the article link is shared on social media. The Meta description should be short, concise, compelling, and descriptive of the content within the article.

    SEO description generator

    In Document360, you can utilize the SEO description generator feature to generate the meta descriptions. This AI (Artificial Intelligence) powered feature will yield the best meta description for your articles and category pages based on the content.

    What happens if no SEO description is specified for an article?
