What are SEO warnings?
You may notice on your account dashboard a section dedicated to SEO warnings
Every 24 hours, our system will check for specific SEO errors on your website. At the moment these are limited to 3 things concerning your product, category, brand, website pages and blog pages on your website.
i) Duplicate title tags
ii) Duplicate meta descriptions
iii) Duplicate page URLs
Each page on your website should have a unique Title Tag, Meta Description and URL. If we find two or more pages sharing the same then we'll flag this up as a warning.
Fixing the errors
Selecting the 'view all' link on the SEO warnings page will display the warnings.
The warnings are grouped into their respective types (either a title tag, meta description or URL warning).
In the above example you can see that 2 products are sharing the same meta description tag.
The two products are 'Set of 4 Muslin Blankets' and 'Blue Night Clouds'.
Selecting the product name will open up the product page in a new window so that you can change the meta description tag.
Sometimes the warning might be flagged because a category and a brand page share the same meta description tag, or a product and a category.
The other warnings (for meta titles and page URLs) work in the same way.
The SEO warning system only checks your website every 24 hours (overnight) so any fix you apply won't immediately update the warnings page.
