Page settings: URL, SEO and sharing image

What can you manage in Page settings?

Some of the most important things about a page are not part of the page content itself. Its URL, search appearance, sharing image, publication status and deletion controls all live in Page settings. Open them from the Page tab of the editing panel, or, with the panel folded, from Page settings in the ⋯ menu.

The panel is split into six sections: Readiness, Title and URL, Search appearance, OG share card, Visibility and Other. News and events include a few extra fields such as category and author.

Readiness: is the page ready?

At the top of the Readiness tab, you can see whether the page is Published or Draft, and publish it in one click. Below that, a checklist shows what is already in good shape and what is worth fixing. Each item is marked Required or Recommended:

  • Search title length: whether it is too short, in range or likely to be truncated.
  • Meta description: whether one exists and whether it is between 50 and 160 characters.
  • H1 heading: whether the page contains exactly one H1 in both mobile and desktop views.
  • Heading order: whether levels are skipped, such as jumping from H2 to H4. Heading outline shows the complete heading structure.
  • ALT text: whether every relevant image has it.
  • Links: whether any link points to deleted or unavailable content, or is empty.
  • Canonical URL: warns when the page names another address as its original, because search engines are then asked to index that one instead.
  • Translations: on multilingual sites, whether titles, descriptions and blocks are complete for each language.
  • Amount of copy: whether the page contains at least 100 words.

Some items include a Fix action. When supported, AI handles the issue for you, for example by drafting a missing meta description.

Title and URL

  • Page title: appears in the browser tab, in search results when no separate SEO title is set, and in the page list under Settings.
  • URL slug: the page-specific part of the URL, for example /services. If you change it, Demona creates an automatic 301 redirect from the old URL and updates menu links to the new one. The panel also shows which redirect was created and how many menu links were updated.
  • Parent page: places this page under another page in the URL structure. For example, /services/web-development. A Breadcrumb block can reflect that hierarchy. Choosing a parent does not change the menu.

The homepage sits at the root of each language version (/), so it has no parent and its slug is not shown in the public URL.

Search appearance: how the page looks in search

This is where you control how the page can appear in Google:

  • Meta title: if left blank, the page title is used, through the site's title pattern. If you fill it in, it appears exactly as written, without the pattern, so include your brand name if you want it there. Around 30–60 characters is usually a practical range for Google results.
  • Meta description: 50–160 characters. Use Suggest from page content to ask AI for a draft.
  • Search preview: shows roughly how the result may look and warns when the title or description is likely to be cut off.
  • Canonical URL: only needed for a page that repeats another page's content. Pick the original page or paste its full address: search engines are asked to index that one instead, and this page leaves the sitemap. Left empty, it stays the page's own address, which is right for most pages.

On multilingual sites, use Different by language? to set a separate meta title and description for each language. For site-wide defaults, see Site-wide SEO settings.

OG share card: how the page looks when shared

  • Card image: used by card grids and lists that link to this page.
  • OG image and ALT text: used when the page is shared on services such as Facebook, LinkedIn or messaging apps. If no page-specific image is set, the site's default sharing image is used.
  • Share title and description: what a share on Facebook, LinkedIn or in a chat app says. Fill them in when a share should say something other than the search result; left empty, the meta title and meta description are used. They can differ by language too.
  • Share preview: shows how the shared link looks, with its image, title and description.

Visibility

  • Published: when enabled, visitors can access the page; when disabled, it is a draft.
  • Homepage: make this page the site's root page. Only one homepage can exist at a time and it must be published. The current homepage cannot be unpublished or deleted until another page takes its place.
  • Visible in: on multilingual sites, hide the page in selected languages, for example while a translation is unfinished. Hiding it in every language is effectively the same as keeping it as a draft.

Other: indexing, print and deletion

  • Allow search engines to index this page: when disabled, the page receives noindex, nofollow, is excluded from search results and is left out of the sitemap. Other pages are unaffected.
  • Allow AI crawlers: when disabled, the page receives a noai signal and is also omitted from the llms.txt content listing.
  • Print optimisation: pages already print without navigation, footer and cookie banner. This option makes the result more paper-friendly with tighter margins and dark text on white. It can be useful for price lists or information sheets.

Use the Danger zone to delete the page. Deletion is permanent and removes all of its blocks too, so if you only want to hide the page temporarily, switch it to draft instead.
