Aurora SEO: Avoid duplication of content title and description meta tags
Often, the first impression you make with people trying to find your community content is how that content appears in web search results. Clear titles and descriptions are important factors in attracting more visitors to your site. Effective SEO titles and descriptions help your content achieve higher rankings in search engines.
Khoros Communities offers out-of-the-box SEO metadata for your forum discussions, blog posts, ideas, and knowledge base articles to attract more readers to your site. Learn more about custom metadata.
By default, Khoros sets the SEO title and description for a post based on the title and a snippet of its content. The SEO title and description added to your content appears in web search results as shown below:
In some cases, a community may contain multiple pages with the same meta titles or descriptions. These duplications can confuse search engines and make it harder for them to prioritize the right content and reduce search results.
To ensure that the metadata for your titles and descriptions are unique, Khoros enables you to append the topic ID of individual posts to your title and description metatags. This avoids duplication of the tags and improves search engine rankings.
Admins can navigate to the SEO settings page (Settings > System > SEO) to enable the Append topic ID to title and description meta tags option.
To append the topic ID to title and description metatags:
- Sign in to the community as an Admin.
- Go to Settings > System > SEO.
- Toggle on Append topic ID to title and description meta tags.
