Use this file to discover all available pages before exploring further.

To display the details of a List item, we use the Item Details block, which generates and displays the data for each list entry on the same page. To index each item’s details as a separate page that can be discovered by search engines as well as apply a custom slug and meta data, you can set up SEO parameters for your Item Details data.

How to set up item detail seo

Since there’s only one Item Details page for a specific List, you can define custom SEO parameters for each List item page within your data source.
The SEO parameters will be applied only if the Item Details page is valid, i.e. it is linked to a specific List block.
The following fields can be added (please, take into account that the names are not case-sensitive):
  • SEO:Index – indicates whether the item page should be indexed or not. Can take yes/no, 1/0, true/false values. If positive, the page will be indexed by search engines and added to Sitemap.
  • SEO:Slug – Here you can define a custom URL slug for the item page. If left empty, the automatically-generated slug will be used for the item page. Your final shareable URL with the SEO slug attached will look like this: https://yourdomain.com/page-name/SEO-slug/r/recordID. Do not store a / in the database; Softr will append this for you.
  • SEO:Title – Custom meta title for the page.
  • SEO:Description – Custom meta description for the page.
In the example below, you can see how the SEO fields filled in for a “Leather Shoes” product.
The data source configuration described here is all you need to do. Nothing needs to be done in your Softr application in order to enable the SEO setup.
SEO fields example
If you have too many (more than 1000) entries that you want to index, the system can have issues adding them to the sitemap automatically. To address this, add /generate-sitemap at the end of your site URL (e.g. yourdomain.com/generate-sitemap) in the browser address bar and hit enter. After the action is complete, all your List Details URLs should be added to your sitemap.

​
Social media

Similar to SEO fields, you can also add the following social media parameters to specify how each list item page should appear when shared on social media:
  • Social:Image
  • Social:Title
  • Social:Description
You can check out how the page social parameters work here. The names are not case-sensitive. Below is an example of the social fields added for a particular list item.
Social fields example
There are tools for Twitter and LinkedIn that can be used to check how the page’s social tags will appear on those social networks.
