Pages and search engines
Add pages, set their web address, title, description and share picture, private pages, the sitemap, the page checker, redirects and missing pages.
Add a page
- Open Pages and click New page.
- Pick a ready-made layout (for example About us, Services, Prices or Contact) or start blank.
- Give it a name. The web address is made from the name; change it under Page settings if you like.
- Change the words and pictures, then click Publish. See The editor and blocks.
Add the page to a menu under Design > Menus so visitors can find it.
The Free plan has 5 pages per website. Blog posts never count. From Standard there is no limit.
Page settings
Open a page's Settings to set:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Web address | The part after your domain, such as /about-us |
| Search title | The title in search results and the browser tab |
| Description | The line under the title in search results |
| Share picture | The picture shown when someone shares the page |
| Hide from search engines | Keeps the page out of search results |
| Who can see it | Everyone, people with the password, or only people who have the link (Standard and up) |
| Publish later | A date and time when the page goes live by itself |
Search engines
Grow > Search engines shows every page with a short check: title length, description, picture descriptions and headings. Each line says in plain words what to fix.
- Your website has a sitemap at
/sitemap.xmlthat updates itself whenever you publish. Give that address to Google Search Console. - robots.txt is made for you.
- Each page tells search engines its main address, so the same page on two addresses doesn't count twice.
Redirects and missing pages
From Standard:
- Grow > Redirects sends an old address to a new one. Use it when you rename a page or move from another website, so old links and search results keep working.
- Missing pages lists the addresses visitors tried that don't exist, with how often. Click one to send it to the right page.
Delete a page
Use the page's menu and Delete. Its address then shows your "page not found" page, unless you add a redirect.
