Route-Level SEO

Overview

Route-level SEO lets you set SEO values for a specific URL, even when the underlying page content is reused.

This is useful when you need two URLs to have different search identities without duplicating content.

How route-level SEO fits into the hierarchy

Marketplace resolves SEO through a priority chain. Route-level override is more specific than Page SEO, so it can replace Page settings for that URL.

Common priority order (least specific to most specific):

  • Project default SEO
  • Location SEO (for location pages)
  • Page SEO
  • Route SEO override
  • Path SEO override

When to use route-level SEO

Use route-level SEO when:

  • The same Page is used by multiple routes
  • Each route needs a different meta title or meta description
  • You want a specific URL to rank for a different keyword theme

Examples include:

  • Two contact URLs that serve the same contact page
  • A shared landing page used for multiple campaigns

What you can override

Route-level override typically allows you to set the same SEO fields as a Page:

  • Meta title and meta description
  • Open Graph title and description
  • Open Graph image and alt text

Important considerations

  • If you need different SEO per path within the same route, use Path-level SEO.
  • Route-level SEO affects only the URL or URLs defined by that route.

What to review after updates

After updating route-level SEO, review:

  • Search previews for each URL under that route
  • Social share previews
  • Any localized variants if your site supports multiple languages
