Answer
OpenScholar has a helpful guide on improving your site’s search engine optimization (SEO).
One simple way to boost your SEO is by adding a meta description to each page on your site.
To add one:
-
Go to Edit mode on a page
-
In the sidebar panel, open the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) dropdown
-
Paste in a short description of the page (under 150 characters is ideal)
An easy way to create these descriptions is to use ChatGPT. Just provide the page URL and ask:
“Generate a meta description under 150 characters: [URL]”
You can also add a meta description for your entire site by going to Settings, then Global Settings, and choosing SEO.
