Store settings

SEO settings

Control how your store appears in search engine results and on social media previews, and manage your robots.txt file.

What the SEO settings cover

The SEO panel sets store-wide metadata: the social sharing image, the title and description that appear in Google results, keywords, indexing permission, a custom robots.txt file, and a read-only link to your sitemap. To open it, go to Settings → Search Engine Optimization.

Meta image

This image appears when someone shares your store's URL on social media platforms. It is optional.

  • Allowed formats: WebP, JPEG, or PNG.
  • Maximum file size: 1 MB.
  • Recommended dimensions: 1200 × 600 pixels. This ratio ensures the image is not cropped on most platforms.
  • The image must be in your store's media library. Clear the field to remove an existing meta image.

Meta title

  • Required.
  • Maximum 50 characters.
  • Appears in the browser tab title and as the heading in Google results. Keep it concise and descriptive.
  • Storeep automatically prepends your store name followed by a dash when rendering the store. The meta title you enter here follows that prefix.

Meta description

  • Optional.
  • Maximum 160 characters. A character counter (0/160) is displayed inside the field as you type.
  • Search engines typically show up to 160 characters in the results snippet. Writing a concise, keyword-rich description improves click-through rates.
  • If left blank, search engines will generate their own snippet from your page content.

Meta keywords

  • Optional.
  • Maximum 255 characters in total across all keywords.
  • Type a keyword and press Enter to add it as a tag. Each keyword is added individually.
  • Modern search engines (Google, Bing) give very little weight to the keywords meta tag, but it can still help with some smaller or niche engines.

Visibility on search engines (indexing toggle)

This checkbox controls whether search engines are allowed to index your store.

  • Checked (active): search engines can crawl and index your pages. This is the correct setting for a live store.
  • Unchecked: a no-index directive is added, telling compliant search engines to exclude your pages from results. Use this while building or testing your store.

Robots.txt file

  • Optional. A text area where you write custom robots.txt directives.
  • Maximum 1,000 characters.
  • The placeholder example shows the standard allow-all syntax:
    User-agent: * Allow: / Sitemap: https://www.example.com/sitemap.xml
  • Whatever you enter here is served verbatim at your domain's robots.txt address.
  • If left blank, Storeep serves its default robots.txt.

This read-only field shows your store's sitemap URL. Click the copy icon at the right of the field to copy it to your clipboard. Submit this URL to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools to ensure your pages are crawled promptly.

Saving

Click Save. Your SEO settings are updated immediately. A success message confirms the change.

Tips

  • The SEO preview block in the panel gives you a live preview of how your store might appear in a search engine result based on the current meta title and description values.
  • Each policy page has its own independent SEO fields. See Store policies for details.
