SEO For Login Page

[SWalker]

Hey folks,

Does anyone know of a way to customize the SEO for the login page? Specifically, I would like to clean up the description that Google/ Bing displays in the result.

SEO has never been a strong focus of ours since most apps are internal and not being used for marketing. However, i asked our SEO person to look into this and advise.

Hey Seth,

It seems the current setup for the Meta Description is not properly configured since it’s showing as empty. To rectify this, you’ll need to update the meta tags within the section of your page’s HTML code.

For your login page, a relevant and unique meta description could be:

<meta name="description" content="Welcome to the CTF Evaluation Portal. Log in to access your dashboard and manage your evaluations efficiently and securely.">

1. Go to ‘Custom Header/Footer Code’ (arrow 1 in the screenshot).
2. Paste the meta tags into the ‘Custom Header’ area (arrow 2).
3. Save the changes.
   
   
   
   Make sure your meta description is unique to the login page and concisely summarizes the page content.

Below is the fully updated meta tags. This snippet includes Open Graph and Twitter meta tags which will optimize how your page looks when shared on social platforms.

<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>CTF Portal</title>
<meta name="description" content="Welcome to the CTF Evaluation Portal. Log in to access your dashboard and manage your evaluations efficiently and securely."/>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" name="viewport"/>
<!-- Social Media Meta Tags -->
<meta property="og:title" content="CTF Portal" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Access your CTF Evaluation Portal for management and analysis of trust fund data." />
<meta property="og:image" content="https://d10w0xb1xxwn2r.cloudfront.net/2ejlZ5BNo9/1712077827-eab9e1-9bca1bd1b633463aa7f81dc3a78a39fe-mv2.png" />
<meta property="og:url" content="https://portal.ctfeval.com/" />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />
<meta name="twitter:title" content="CTF Portal" />
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Access your CTF Evaluation Portal for management and analysis of trust fund data." />
<meta name="twitter:image" content="https://d10w0xb1xxwn2r.cloudfront.net/2ejlZ5BNo9/1712077827-eab9e1-9bca1bd1b633463aa7f81dc3a78a39fe-mv2.png" />

Feel free to tweak the text within the content attributes to align with your site’s messaging.
