SEO Settings

Manage sitewide SEO defaults — noindex toggle, OG image fallback, Google verification, and robots.txt.

Go to Settings → SEO to control the site's search engine visibility and metadata defaults.

Discourage search engines

When Discourage search engines from indexing this site is checked, Contensio:

  • Adds <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"> to every page.
  • Serves an empty sitemap.xml (so crawlers don't index URLs).
  • Returns a Disallow: / in robots.txt.

Use this while developing or staging. Remember to uncheck it before going live.

Default OG image

A fallback Open Graph image used when a page or post doesn't have a featured image set. Paste a full URL to any image on your server (e.g. https://example.com/og-default.jpg). Recommended size: 1200 × 630 px.

Google Search Console verification

Paste the content value from the <meta name="google-site-verification"> tag that Google provides. Contensio outputs it in the <head> of every page. You don't need to touch your theme.

Custom robots.txt

The textarea lets you write a fully custom robots.txt. When this field is non-empty it overrides Contensio's default robots logic entirely — exactly what you type is served at /robots.txt.

Leave it blank to use the built-in behaviour:

  • Disallow: /admin/ (or your configured route prefix)
  • Sitemap: https://your-site.com/sitemap.xml

XML sitemap

Contensio automatically generates a sitemap at /sitemap.xml containing:

  • Homepage and blog archive
  • All published pages
  • All published posts
  • All taxonomy term archive pages

The sitemap respects the Discourage search engines toggle — when it's on, the sitemap is empty.
