Step-by-Step Instructions

Access your Shipixen project dashboard

Log into your Shipixen account and select the project you want to configure SEO meta tags for. Click on the Project Settings tab in the main navigation menu.

Make sure you're working on the correct project if you have multiple sites

Navigate to SEO Settings

In the project settings sidebar, click on SEO Configuration. This will open the meta tags management panel where you can configure global and page-specific SEO settings.

Global settings will apply to all pages unless overridden by page-specific configurations

Configure global meta tags

Fill in the Site Title, Meta Description, and Keywords fields in the Global SEO section. Set your Open Graph Image and Twitter Card settings. Enable Schema Markup if desired.

Example:

Site Title: Your Brand Name | Best Product Category
Meta Description: Discover premium products with fast shipping and excellent customer service. Shop now for the best deals.
Keywords: product, ecommerce, shipping, deals

Keep meta descriptions between 150-160 characters for optimal display in search results

Set up page-specific meta tags

Navigate to Pages in the sidebar, then select a specific page to customize. Click the SEO Tab for that page. Override the global settings by filling in custom Page Title, Meta Description, and Focus Keywords fields.

Use unique meta descriptions for each page to avoid duplicate content issues

Configure structured data markup

In the SEO settings, scroll to the Structured Data section. Select appropriate schema types from the dropdown (e.g., Product, Article, Organization). Fill in the required fields for your chosen schema type and enable Auto-generate JSON-LD.

Use Google's Rich Results Test tool to validate your structured data after implementation

Set up social media meta tags

In the Social Media section of SEO settings, configure Open Graph Tags by uploading custom images (1200x630px recommended) and setting titles and descriptions. Configure Twitter Cards by selecting card type and adding Twitter handle if applicable.

Test your social media tags using Facebook's Sharing Debugger and Twitter's Card Validator

Enable automatic sitemap generation

Navigate to SEO Tools and enable Auto-generate XML Sitemap. Configure sitemap settings including Update Frequency and Priority Settings. Click Generate Sitemap to create your initial sitemap.

Submit your sitemap URL to Google Search Console for better indexing

Preview and publish changes

Use the SEO Preview feature to see how your pages will appear in search results and social media shares. Once satisfied, click Save Changes and then Deploy to make your SEO meta tags live on your website.

Changes may take 24-48 hours to fully propagate across search engines

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

Meta tags not appearing in page source

Check that you've clicked Save Changes and Deploy after configuration. Clear your browser cache and wait up to 10 minutes for changes to propagate.

Duplicate meta descriptions across pages

Ensure each page has unique meta descriptions set in the Pages > SEO Tab section rather than relying solely on global settings.

Open Graph images not displaying correctly

Verify your images are exactly 1200x630 pixels and under 1MB in size. Use Facebook's Sharing Debugger to refresh the cache for your URLs.

Structured data validation errors

Use Google's Rich Results Test tool to identify missing required fields. Return to Structured Data settings in Shipixen and fill in all mandatory schema properties.
