Site-Wide SEO

LocalBusiness schema, title and description templates, default social images, and the structured data every page emits automatically.

Site-wide SEO lives in the Technical tab: the business's structured-data identity, the templates that fill in whatever individual pages leave blank, and the default share images. Set these once per client site and every page benefits.

Per-page controls (focus keyword, meta fields, canonical, noindex) are covered in Page SEO.


Business Schema (LocalBusiness)#

The Business Address & Location and schema settings describe the business behind the site. They emit a single LocalBusiness node - the site's canonical organization entity - that the rest of the structured data references.

SettingWhat it feeds
Business TypeThe schema type: Plumber, Electrician, Roofing Contractor, Landscaping, Pest Control, HVAC, Moving, Locksmith, General Contractor, Home & Construction, or a generic LocalBusiness
Street Address / City / State / ZIPThe business's postal address. Leave the street blank for a service-area business with no public address
Latitude / LongitudeOptional geo coordinates
Service AreaThe list of areas the business serves
Hours of OperationOpening hours, for example "Mon-Fri 7am-6pm, Sat 8am-2pm"

The business name, phone, and social profile links come from Site Settings (the social URLs become the entity's profile links).

This same data also powers the local-business content blocks - NAP, Hours, Service Area, and Service elements read it as their defaults. See Local Business Blocks.


Title and Description Templates#

Templates fill the search snippet for any page that has no meta title or description of its own. They accept two tokens: the page's title and the site name.

TemplateApplies to
Meta Title TemplatePages and posts without a meta title
Meta Description TemplatePages and posts without a meta description
Category / Author Title TemplateCategory, tag, and author archive pages
Category / Author Description TemplateThe same archive pages

A typical title template: the page title, a separator, the site name. Set the templates once and stop hand-writing "About Us | Business Name" on every page.


Default Share Images#

Two independent fallbacks in the Default OG / Social Sharing card:

  • Default OG image (wide, 1.91:1) - the share card image for any page without its own social image.
  • Default featured image (square, 1:1) - the SERP-thumbnail / representative image for any page without a featured image.

Each cross-falls back to the other, so setting just one still covers both roles. Default OG title and description fields cover pages missing those too.


What Every Page Emits Automatically#

With the business schema configured, the published site carries a coherent structured-data graph with no per-page work:

Structured dataWhere
LocalBusiness (the organization)Site-wide, referenced by everything else
WebSiteSite-wide, published by the organization
WebPage + BreadcrumbListEvery page
Article markup (BlogPosting)Every blog post, with headline, dates, image, and author
PersonPost authors - one consolidated entity per author across all their posts, plus profile-page markup on the author archive
FAQPagePages using the FAQ element
ServicePages using the Service block, linked to the business as provider

Everything renders into the static output at deploy time - no client-side scripts involved. Per-page custom JSON-LD (see Page SEO) merges into this graph rather than fighting it.


Language#

The site's locale setting (for example en-US or es-ES) sets the page language attribute and the social-card locale for the whole site.


Summary#

  1. Fill in Business Address & Location + pick the Business Type
  2. Set the four meta templates
  3. Upload the two default share images
  4. Confirm the site's locale
  5. Deploy - the structured-data graph ships with the static build
