How to use the Easy Seo module?

The module lets you prepare templates for page titles and meta descriptions, then apply them to selected items. Saved settings can also be reapplied by a cron job.

Create and apply a setting

  1. Open the module configuration and choose the relevant page type: categories, products, suppliers, CMS or manufacturers.
  2. Under Load settings, choose an existing setting or create a new one. Enter a name and choose the language.
  3. For categories or products, explicitly select the categories to process. Enter your templates in Meta title and Meta description. Links below the fields insert the variables available for that page type. For example, [NAME] - [SHOP_NAME] uses the category or product name and the shop name.
  4. Check the option to override existing metadata. Without overriding, the module fills empty fields. With overriding enabled, it can overwrite existing text: keep a backup before processing data you may need to restore.
  5. Click save settings to keep the setting for later. Click Apply to run it immediately. Saving a setting and applying it are separate actions.

Check the result on a few representative pages in the relevant language before expanding the scope.

Update metadata automatically

Enable Automatic update is allowed ? for the required settings, save them, then schedule calls to the URL shown in the Help tab. See automatic update configuration. To update fields that are already filled in, also check the override option.

Edit image legends

The Images tab lets you choose the language, filter the list and edit product image legends. After editing a field, leave it and check the save indication. This process is separate from automatic title and description settings. Also check the alternative text actually displayed by your storefront theme.
