SEO Tab
The SEO tab on /admin/branding handles search engine verification, crawler rules, AI bot policy, sitemap refresh, and meta defaults. Every control writes to your tenant alone.
For the rest of the Branding panel, see Branding & Appearance. For analytics tracking, see Analytics Tab.
Search engine verification
Add verification codes for Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
- Google Search Console. Paste the content value from your GSC HTML tag verification. The platform emits the right meta tag on every page.
- Bing Webmaster. Same flow. Paste the content value from Bing's HTML tag verification.
Both verifications take effect within seconds of save. Re-run the verify step in GSC or Bing after you save.
Verification meta tags textarea
Some tools (Pinterest, Yandex, Naver) need their own meta tag. Paste up to 10 verification meta tags into the textarea, one per line. Format:
<meta name="pinterest-site-verification" content="abc123" />
<meta name="yandex-verification" content="xyz456" />
The platform inserts each tag verbatim into the page head.
robots.txt editor
By default, your tenant serves a sensible robots.txt that blocks search results pages, user walls, and other non-crawlable surfaces. To customize, paste your own robots.txt into the editor.
The platform appends a single line at the end: Sitemap: https://your-domain.com/sitemap.xml. You don't need to add that yourself.
Click Save. Your robots.txt is live at /robots.txt immediately.
llms.txt editor
llms.txt is the proposed standard for telling AI training crawlers what your site is about and what to read. Your tenant exposes one at /llms.txt.
Leave the editor blank for auto-generation. The platform pulls your public wiki pages and top forum threads and renders a clean llms.txt every time the file is requested.
Paste your own llms.txt to override the auto-generation entirely.
AI bot allowlist
A single toggle controls whether AI training and inference crawlers can read your community.
- Allow. GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, CCBot, and similar are allowed in robots.txt.
- Block. All known AI bots are disallowed in robots.txt.
The platform maintains the list. New bots get added in a later release.
Support communities and public-content tenants usually allow. Private or members-only communities usually block.
Sitemap force refresh
Click Refresh sitemap to regenerate /sitemap.xml and ping IndexNow.
- The platform crawls wiki pages, forum threads, landing pages, and other public surfaces.
- 171+ URLs is typical for a content tenant.
- IndexNow pushes the new URL set to Bing, Yandex, and Seznam.
The button takes a few seconds. You'll see the new URL count and last-refreshed time.
The sitemap also rebuilds automatically when content changes. The button is for when you want to force the cycle.
Meta title and description defaults
- Meta title suffix. Appended to every page title that doesn't override its own. Example:
| Acme Community. - Meta description. Default description for pages that don't have their own.
- Open Graph image. Default social share image. Use 1200x630 px for best results across Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook.
