Status: Available Control how your community appears in search engines.
Overview
TribeCrafter gives you control over search engine visibility at both the site level and individual content level.
Site-Level SEO
In Site Settings:
- Meta Description — the description shown in search results for your homepage
- Search Engine Visibility — master switch. If disabled, no page on your site is indexed
Content-Level SEO
Individual blog posts and articles have their own SEO fields:
- Is Indexable — controls whether this specific piece of content is visible to search engines. Auto-set to true when you publish, but you can override it
- Meta Title — custom title for search results (falls back to the content title if empty)
- Meta Description — custom description for search results
How It Works
- When Is Indexable is true, the page includes a
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">tag - When false, it includes
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">tag - This is set automatically on publish but can be manually overridden
Tips
- Always write custom meta descriptions for important content — auto-generated ones are often poor
- Keep meta titles under 60 characters and descriptions under 160
- Premium/gated content can still be indexed — search engines see the preview, members see the full content
- New content is automatically set as indexable when published
