Recommended SEO Field Lengths
Field | Recommended Length | Best Practice |
Meta Title | 50 – 60 characters | Place your primary keyword near the front; defaults to post title if left blank |
Meta Description | 120 – 158 characters | Write a clear summary with a reason to click; defaults to excerpt if left blank |
URL Slug | 3 – 6 words | Use lowercase hyphen-separated words targeting the core topic |
Cover Image Alt Text | Up to 125 characters | Describe the image accurately and naturally |
Internal Linking and Read Next Modules
Search engines rely on internal links to understand topical authority. In the Post Editor sidebar under Read Next, enable related articles and select 2 to 3 relevant posts to display at the bottom of the article.
Managing 301 and 302 Redirects
If you change a published URL slug or migrate content from another CMS, open Redirects in your Dashboard to map the old path (for example, /2024/05/old-post-slug) to the new destination (/new-post-slug) with a permanent 301 redirect so you preserve backlinks and search rankings.
