Updating Your SEO Metadata using RankMath

Transcript:

Hi, my name is Daniella, I’m from Grow My Business, and today I’m just going to show you how to update your SEO metadata. So that is what we see when, uhm, you search your business name, and you see this, this is your SEO meta title, this is your SEO meta description, and your keyword, uhm, is critical.

So, the way to update this and change what this says, is to go into the back end of your website, and the websites that we’re from, we use RankMath. So, uh, what you do, you go from your dashboard down to page 1, you’ll see all the pages on your website here.

When you hover, you can click on the edit button. First and foremost, ignore this whole section. Do not touch it. Uh, it What we want to do is pop into the top corner over here, where we can currently see, we’ve got 26 out of 10, and that’s Rank Math when I hover.

There’s also Content AI, which we don’t want to touch, because that’s more in regards to content. So if I click on this one, what I see here has changed, and I can see that my focus keyword is here. So I’m going to go ahead and click and put in my SEO keyword, which is Web Design Wellington.

That’s currently coming up as red. That is completely fine. What I want to do here is click on Edit Snippet. Now, this is where, ah, this is going to show you a preview, and this is where you change what you see.

So I am going to paste in my ready-made SEO meta title, where I have used my keyword in here, and then I’ve just said something else about our business, or even used our business name as well. Permalink, do not touch it.

Ah, this is not the place to change your URL, if you would like to, plus it’s not possible with homepage. However, I’d strongly recommend not touching this at all. If you would like to change your URL, get in touch with us, and we can sort out some redirects there.

Then we’re going to move down into our description. And pop our description in there. You can use this, ah, wee bar here as a gauge, ah, it shows you a, ah, example of what it looks like here, uhm, and as you can see, it’s green up here, and it kind of shows you, it gives you a guide of, ah, what to show and what not to show.

I’m going to leave this just like this for right now, ah, for the purpose of this. When I click exit there, you can see that my, uhm, SEO metadata has updated, my score is now 72 out of 100. There are a few different things I can change here, ah, and there’s some, ah, recommendations that we can look at here as well, if we want to.

I would recommend against clicking fix with, uhm, AI, you are welcome to, ah, but not necessarily needed. Ah, but this is a really good way to get some tips on how to incorporate and boost the SEO of your website. When you’re done with that, like anything, we want to click save in the top corner.

Wait till that’s all done, and then you can go back to all of your pages. And that is how you update your SEO metadata. Ah, just for reference as well, ah, final note, it will take Google a few days usually to SEO metadata. So, just be patient with that.

If it doesn’t show up straight away, that is very common. If it hasn’t shown up within a week or two of changing it, then let us know and we’ll see what we can do to help push that along.

Thank you so much.
