Main page SEO tags
You can set up the page titles and page description tags for each of your main pages, from Admin Settings ▸ SEO:
Page title: This is the title of the page and will show in search results after the "site name". In the example above, "Turnkey software for sports & outdoor rentals", for the landing page.
- For other pages, such as "Products" it can be wise to be descriptive on what the page contains. E.g. if you rent out bikes, you may rename "Products" into "Bikes" or "Rental Bikes". This will also become the page header name on the Shop. The "Blogs" page may be renamed "Bike tour tips", etc.
Description tag: This is a description text that Google will read through to understand what your site is about and is shown below the main page title in search results.
- In the example above "Make renting easy. Make equipment renting as easy...". Write this text in a natural language, describing what the site is about, and what you want to rank for. If you want to rank high for e.g. "Cheap bike rentals in Oslo", then you could include keywords such as "discount", "el-bikes", "kids bikes etc." to show Google that the page is relevant for people looking for this.

These will be generated separately for each product and can be easily set up in Admin Products:
- Title tag

Blog post content
We recommend writing blog posts / Activity pages, about topics related to the rental of your products.
