Meta titles play a crucial role in the realm of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and website usability. When displayed in search engine results or shared links via internal communication tools (e.g. Slack) meta titles serve as the first impression of your content. You can take advantage of Curator’s meta title controls impacting the the meta titles for your entire site by creating a site name, specifying a title on the home page. All other meta titles will be auto-generated based on the title of the content (e.g. Page Title, Dashboard Title). All Meta titles for individual pages will have this structure: Page Meta Title | Site Meta Title So for example, if we were to call our site “My Website”, and create a page with a title of “My Page” that would result in My Page | My Website

Changing the Page Meta Title for an individual Page

When creating a page, or analytic element (e.g. Tableau Dashboard), the Page Meta title will draw from the name of the content given on the edit page. The only exception to this is the homepage Meta Title which will override the page being displayed on the homepage. If you wish to change a Page’s Meta title you must change teh Page’s title itself.

SEO Considerations

Remember that meta titles play a crucial role in SEO and determining how your website appears in search engine results. Make sure to use relevant keywords, keep the titles concise (usually between 50-60 characters), and create compelling titles that entice users to click through to your site. Also, check your website regularly to ensure the meta titles are accurately representing the content and objectives of your pages.
