Set how your pages look in search, change an address safely and publish a content hub

Kyloth gives every published product, collection, journal post, guide and policy page one clean address and lists exactly those addresses in your shop's sitemap. Nothing here promises a position in search results, and Kyloth does not submit your shop to any search engine. To have Google see the sitemap you add your own domain in your own Google Search Console account and submit the sitemap address yourself.

1. Open a product in Catalog, or a post in Journal, and find Search appearance. Write a Search title and a Search description. Leave a box blank and the product name and description, or the post title and summary, are used.
2. Watch the character counts. Results usually show about 60 characters of title and 160 of description, and longer text may be cut. The preview shows how your words may read; search engines choose what they show.
3. Read the Checks list. Each line names something specific it found: a heading that skips a level, an image with no alt text, no link to your own shop, another page of yours with the same title or description, the reading time. It is not a score and says nothing about ranking.
4. To change an address, edit it under Address and select Change address. The old address keeps working and sends visitors to the new one permanently, so links you have shared and results people already clicked do not break. Letters, numbers and hyphens only.

One address per page. A shopper can reach the same product with a size, colour, coupon, sort or filter in the address, or with tracking added by an advert or a share. Those addresses stay open to search engines and each one states the clean address as the main one, so everything counts toward one page. Your cart, checkout, order receipts and your shop's search results page are the pages Kyloth asks search engines not to visit, because they hold nothing to rank.

1. Connect and verify your own domain first (Connect your domain). Content hubs are available only on your own domain; a shop on a kyloth address cannot have them.
2. Open Journal, then Content hubs. Choose a name such as tips, guides or style, and a title. Names Kyloth uses itself, and names used for email and DNS, are refused. A shop can have up to five hubs.
3. At your domain registrar add a CNAME record for that name, for example tips, pointing at your Kyloth shop address shown on the page. Kyloth cannot do this for you.
4. Publish the hub. Then, in a post's editor, choose Where it appears and pick the hub. The post is served at the hub's own address, under /p/, and not in your main journal. Each post links back to your shop and, for a guide, to its collection.
