Om

This module allows a site to automatically provide structured metadata, aka "meta tags", about the site and individual pages.

In the context of search engine optimization, providing an extensive set of meta tags may help improve the site's and pages' rankings, thus may aid with achieving a more prominent display of the content within search engine results. They can also be used to tailor how content is displayed when shared on social networks. For additional information, see the online documentation for Metatag.

Intended worflow

The module uses "tokens" to automatically fill in values for different meta tags. Specific values may also be filled in.

The best way of using Metatag is as follows:

  1. Customize the global defaults, fill in the specific values and tokens that every page should have.
  2. Override each of the other defaults, fill in specific values and tokens that each item should have by default. This allows e.g. for all nodes to have different values than taxonomy terms.
  3. Add more default configurations as necessary for different entity types and entity bundles, e.g. for different content types or different vocabularies.
  4. To override the meta tags for individual entities, e.g. for individual nodes, add the "Metatag" field via the field settings for that entity or bundle type.
