Overview
Your Super site comes with a lot of SEO optimizations right out of the box, these include:
- Sitemaps (generated from pages you add to Super)
- Title (from Notion page title)
- Description (from first Text, Quote or H3 block on a page or description of a database page)
- Image (from Notion page cover)
- Site language
- OG tags for social sharing
Default SEO settings
Your Super site will have some SEO settings by default and these are set using the specific areas below unless you override them with custom settings.
SEO title: Notion page title
SEO Description: The first h3 block, text block or quote block in the main page content (not inside callouts, tables, toggles…).
SEO Image: Notion page cover
Search engine indexing
Search engine indexing is the process by which search engines organize and store information from web pages to make it searchable later. You can disable search engine indexing from the "SEO" page in the site editor.
Social preview
Every site on the internet has an SEO social preview. The social preview refers to the content that appears when the website URL is shared on social media platforms and it typically includes the site title, description, and image. You can preview your site social preview on the SEO settings page.
Set a Default Social Image
The Default Social Image is used as a fallback for pages where you haven't uploaded a custom social media preview image.
For example, if you have 20 pages on your site and only 5 of them have custom social images, the remaining pages can use your Default Social Image when shared on social media.
To set your default image:
- Go to your SEO Section
- Enable Search Engine Indexing
- Find the Default Social Image option
- Save your changes
Open your Super dashboard and navigate to SEO.
Ensure that Search Engine Indexing is turned on. This is required for social platforms to read your page metadata.
Locate the Default Social Image setting and upload the image you'd like to use as the fallback image.
Your default social image will now be used for pages that don't have a custom social image.
Per-page settings
SEO and social sharing tags can be overridden on a per page basis. You can override the defaults by clicking the menu button and selecting "Edit SEO settings" from the menu in the "Pages" page.
Manage your SEO using Notion database properties
If you want to handle your SEO meta properties in Notion, you can do that using our custom database properties.
- In Notion add the meta properties to your database
- Next on the database or database view, ensure that these properties are displayed in the view. Do this by clicking the three dots on the view and show the meta properties on the database view. They will remain hidden on your Super site.
