How to optimise for SEO
Make your Shareables pages discoverable by search engines.
Embedding Methods and SEO
How you embed your Shareable affects its SEO potential:
Script Tags (Best for SEO)
When you embed using script tags, your content renders directly in the page DOM:
- Search engines can crawl the embedded content
- Content becomes part of your main page
- Recommended when SEO matters for your embedded widget
iframes
When using iframe embeds:
- Modern search engines (like Google) can crawl iframe content
- Content lives in a separate document context
- Works for SEO, but script tags are preferred
Hosted Web Pages (Full SEO Control)
When using Shareables as a complete website (at yourname.shareables.ai or a custom domain):
- Full control over all SEO settings
- Configure favicon, meta description, OG image, and custom code
- Best option when your Shareable is the primary destination
SEO Settings for Hosted Pages
Configure these settings in Settings → SEO within the creator:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Site Name | Used as the page title in browser tabs and search results |
| Meta Description | Description shown in search results (keep under 160 characters) |
| Favicon | Browser tab icon (upload an image) |
| Open Graph Image | Image shown when shared on social media (1200x630px recommended) |
| Custom Head Code | Add verification codes, additional meta tags, or analytics scripts |
These SEO settings only apply to hosted pages, not embedded widgets.
Social Sharing (Open Graph)
When your hosted page is shared on social media, the preview uses:
- Title — Uses your Site Name
- Description — Uses your Meta Description
- Image — Uses your Open Graph Image (1200x630px recommended)
Upload a compelling OG image to make your shares stand out in social feeds.
Custom Meta Tags
Use the Custom Head Code field to add any additional meta tags:
<!-- Google Search Console verification -->
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="your-verification-code" />
<!-- Additional meta tags -->
<meta name="author" content="Your Name" />This is also where you’d add analytics scripts or other tracking codes.
Sitemap
Hosted Shareables pages are automatically included in a sitemap, helping search engines discover your content.
Indexing
By default, hosted pages are indexable by search engines.
Google Search Console
Verify your custom domain in Google Search Console to:
- Monitor search performance
- Submit your sitemap
- Fix indexing issues
Add your verification code using the Custom Head Code field in Settings.
