FAQ
Yes. From the Makes Monster Editor, open the SEO settings of any page and enter the text you want to appear in the relevant fields (i.e. title tag, meta description). If you want, you can add additional meta tags and edit the URL slug for each page of your site.
Once you’ve edited the field values, your custom settings will override the default content provided by Makes Monster.
Yes. All Makes Monster Sites automatically come with their own editable robots.txt file. This file tells search engines which of your site pages should/should not be indexed.
For more control over crawl requests to your site, you can write your own directives in the Robots.txt Editor. To view your site’s robots.txt file, add “/robots.txt” to your root domain (i.e., www.domain.com/robots.txt).
Canonical tags tell search engines which URL is your primary version and consolidate URLs on your site that contain duplicate content. Additionally, canonical tags can be used to simplify tracking analytics.
By default, Makes Monster adds the page URL to the canonical tag. This is called a self-referencing URL because it makes reference to itself as the canonical. Since most of your site pages won’t have duplicate versions, self-referencing canonical tags are used—an SEO best practice. You can always customize the default canonical tag for any page.
