Ok so i add SEO info to joomshaper page builder, i also add it in to joomla navigation. However when i look at google it seems to be pulling through the first couple of lines from the page content not the meta?
I have no SEO apps or anything installed just joomshaper page builder.
Hello Steven Gourlay
Please follow this documentation:
and add SEO related information to the page. Then it will be shown on the frontend.
Best regards
Remember that even after those changes, Google needs time to reindex that data, it may takes few days, weeks!
I have a question on this - I hope you dont mind.
I have some metadata text included for most of my web pages - but this is on the metadata tab - from within Menu - Edit Item.
Is this OK - or is it best to repeat this from within the Spagebuilder SEO section - or even add some new metadata text.
I am trying to improve my SEO after a massive hit where a developer installed a bad extension and I got hacked.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi yes Ofi Khan that is where i have been putting the data, i will give it sometime but the snippet info from google seems to be that from the page and not what is within the meta.
I will come back to this at a later date.
So you have to wait - Google needs time, you cannot speed that too much. Try add sitemap at least.
If you have them in Menu item settings - leave it there. If you would use them in SPPB Page SEO tab it will be used as first way. What is important is what the browser sees in HTML view.
Scan your site content (DB + files) for suspicus URLs as well.
It takes several weeks, sometimes months, to improve Website SEO. This is because Google, Bing, and others, need to switch to new content.

Hi Paul - I couldnt see the reply about SEO help
I do have another quick question.
It has been pointed out that most of my pages have a very low text to html count - which can affect rankings apparently. Is this down to extra code used with pagebuilder etc ... ?
Is there a way of limiting the code ?
Hi Gavin,
and: google decides if the meta desc is good for this page or not. so if you write something which doesnt fit to the content - google choose some other text.
sort of Google AI works there .... old times when only you decided almost gone away.
@Gavin, It certainly follows that you have too few sentences on these subpages, suggested SEO minium is around 600 words with headers (h2, h3, h4) and <strong> inside. Anything below lowers the ranking points.
Example how much text is it...
Too much HTML code is not a big problem. Little content yes.
Thanks Paul, yes I am trying to do that ...

example page ...
SEO software says ...
Text to HTML ratio: 10.4%
That's a bit low. Can you remove unneeded code?
19,671 characters of text
189,287 characters of HTML
It should be possible to reduce HTML code, but it's far beyond JoomShaper support. This requires rebuilding the entire page + bottom section.
OK no problem
Thanks for looking ...
I just wondered if I am doing anything wrong ... or if there was a button to simplify the amount of code or somethingb ....
There are only HTML compressors, but they just squezze html spaces, not remove not needed lines.
