Every page you create or edit in the WanderOS Site Editor has its own SEO (search engine optimization) settings: a title tag, a meta description, keywords, and a social share image. Search engines use the title and description to build your result; social networks use the image when someone shares the page.
This applies to all WanderOS hosts and property managers. Property pages are the exception; see the last section.
Open the SEO tab
Sign in to app.wander.com.
Under Channels, select Website, then Edit website.
In the left column, select the page.
At the top of the section list, select Page settings
.Select the SEO tab.
Fill in the fields, select Save in the dialog, then select Save in the top right of the editor.
The dialog's Save stores the settings in your draft. The editor's Save publishes them. If the page is published, the new tags are live after the second Save.
Fill in the four fields
Field | What it controls | Length shown in the editor | How to write it |
Title tag | The clickable headline in search results and the browser tab | 50–80 characters; the counter turns red past 80 | Lead with the words guests search for, then the place, then your brand. Example: `Pet-Friendly Cabins in Gatlinburg, TN' |
Meta description | The summary under the headline in search results | 120–200 characters; the counter turns red past 200 | One or two sentences that say what the page offers and why to click. Example: |
Keywords | Comma-separated terms describing the page | No limit; 5 to 10 is plenty | Use phrases guests type, such as |
Social share image | The preview image when the page is shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, iMessage, and similar | One image | Select Select image and choose a landscape photo that represents the page. If left empty, the page may show no image or a generic one when shared.
|
Example of how above fields are guest-facing:
Google may rewrite a title or description it considers unclear or too long, which is why the editor's ranges are recommendations rather than hard limits.
Best practices: write tags that are unique and specific
One page, one title. Pages with identical titles and descriptions compete with each other. Write each page's tags about that page.
Name the place. "Vacation rentals in Sedona" beats "Vacation rentals." Local phrases are what most direct-booking searches contain.
Match the page. The description should reflect what a visitor actually finds. A mismatch raises bounce rates and can lead Google to rewrite your snippet.
Fill in every content page. About, Contact, FAQ, blog posts, and local guides all appear in search. Leave none blank.
Keep the brand consistent. Use the same brand name and separator (
|or a dash) across pages.
Ask the assistant to write or fix SEO tags
The Ask assistant can write tags for one page or audit the whole site. Open Ask in the editor and try:
"Write a title tag and meta description for the About page that mention Hilton Head vacation rentals."
"Check my site for missing or duplicate titles and meta descriptions and fix them."
"Set the social share image on the Blog page to the lake photo."
Assistant changes are saved as it works and go live on published pages. Review them in the preview. See Use the Ask assistant to edit your WanderOS site.
Property pages, search, and legal pages use generated tags
Individual property pages (/property/...) do not have a Page settings dialog. Their title and description are generated from the listing: the property name, bedroom count, location, and the first sentence of the property description, with your brand name appended.
To improve a property page's search snippet, edit the property's title and description under Listings, or in your property management system (PMS) if that is where the text comes from. See Edit Property Title and Description.
The search page (/s) and the generated Terms and Privacy pages also use platform-set tags and cannot be edited.
The site name in search results is set separately
The grey site name above the URL in a Google result comes from Customize → Styles → Logo & favicon → Title, not from a page's title tag. If you rename your brand, update both.
