Publish and get found
Make every shared link represent your business
Set page titles, descriptions, search visibility, share images, and the icon visitors recognize.
- Who this helps
- Site Owners, Admins, and Editors.
- Before starting
- Know the site's preferred domain and the purpose of each page.
- Done when
- The published pages have the intended metadata, visibility, images, and working old links.
01
Set the home page's search details
Open Site overview → SEO & Social. Basic shows the home page's Title and Description with search and message previews.
An override replaces the page's own text on the next publish. Use the page's own removes that override.
- Write a Title that names the page's service or purpose.
- Write a Description that helps a visitor decide whether the page is relevant.
- Check the previews and save the change.
- Publish and inspect the live page.
The previews are illustrations. Search engines and messaging services may choose different text or keep an older cached preview.
02
Review the rest of the pages
Advanced provides a page grid for titles, descriptions, and page-specific settings. The site description is a fallback for pages without their own.
Use the page filters and sorting to find missing or unsuitable text. Review AI suggestions as drafts before accepting them.
- Switch to Advanced.
- Find the page that needs attention.
- Edit its text and check the page address.
- Save the page changes.
- Publish and verify the affected live pages.
Saving a site default does not save unsaved page edits. Check each save control and the remaining-change indicator.
03
Decide what belongs in search
Show the site in search engines controls site-wide visibility. Page settings can also hide an individual page.
A connected custom domain can still be hidden. Crawling may separately block search engines. The webrenew.app address stays excluded from indexing.
- Set the site visibility for the intended launch state.
- Review page-specific hiding where needed.
- Check Crawling before expecting public discovery.
- Publish the settings.
Hidden from search is not private. Anyone with a public URL may still open it. Do not publish confidential content under this setting.
04
Set the social image and favicon
Social share image is the picture used when a link is shared. Use 1200 × 630 and keep important text away from the edges.
Favicon is the icon used in browser tabs and bookmarks. Use a square image at least 512 × 512.
- Upload or replace the Social share image.
- Upload a suitable Favicon.
- Check the previews, then publish.
- Open a fresh browser tab and check a newly shared link.
Browsers and sharing services can cache an old image. Verify the published image before repeatedly replacing the upload.
05
Keep old addresses working
A redirect sends an old page address to its replacement. Plan these before changing public page addresses or replacing an older website.
- List the old paths that customers, search results, or emails still use.
- Map each to the most relevant replacement and ask Launch to add those redirects.
- Save and publish.
- Open each old address and confirm it reaches the intended new page.
Do not redirect every missing page to the homepage. A useful redirect preserves the visitor's original intent.
