About this task
You can also use the Commerce Composer
tool to change the SEO properties for categories and catalog entries.
Procedure
- Open the Catalogs tool.
- Select your store, then find
and open the category or catalog entry that you want to modify its
SEO properties for.
- Click the Search Engine Optimization tab.
- To change the URL
keyword, type a new keyword.
Note: The sample URL displayed for the URL
keyword always displays the URL for the master catalog. In a sales
catalog, if you change the URL keyword for a category or catalog entry,
you can view the correct URL by following these steps:
- Copy the URL for the master catalog, for example: http://mystore/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/aurora/classic-frying-pan
where aurora is the name of the master catalog
- Replace the name of the master catalog with the name of the sales
catalog. For instance, the new URL would be http://mystore/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/aurora-sales-catalog/classic-frying-pan
Note: If you are
viewing a category that does not belong to the default catalog for
the current store, then the sample SEO URL is not displayed.
- To change the page
title, meta-description or image alt text, click Override
default for the property you want to change.
- Enter the preferred
content. For instance, the page title can be rewritten to be: "Welcome
to the Aurora furniture department" for the furniture category page.
If wanted, you can include
any SEO substitution parameters.
- Repeat for each
property you want to change.
- Click Save or Save and
Close.
