Procedure

  1. Open the Commerce Composer tool.

    The SEO properties for the page are displayed.
  3. Change any of the SEO properties:
    • To change the URL keyword property, type a new keyword.
      Note:
      • The URL displayed beneath the field is for the default catalog that is selected for the store.
      • 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 properties:
      1. Click Override default for the property.
      2. Type the value for the property in the field. For example, for the Furniture category page, you might change the Page title value to Welcome to the Aurora furniture department. You can use SEO substitution parameters.
