Metadata
Metadata is stored at the page level and is configured using the properties in the Page tab of the panels sidebar. Out of the box, Makeswift exposes some standard metadata properties that can be used for SEO.
Meta tags
The following meta tags are managed within the Page tab of each page in Makeswift:- Title
- Description

For additional meta Tags that aren’t standard within the page properties in
Makeswift, or if your OG Tags differ, you must configure this in your codebase
using a custom host. For more info view the Next.js
documentation.
Canonical URL
Canonical URLs help search engines identify the preferred version of a page to index and rank.
Sitemap settings
Your sitemap is automatically generated for all sites using the default host. You can control several settings for your sitemap in Makeswift, including the priority and frequency of each page. These settings are located in the Page tab under your meta tags.To configure the sitemap for your custom Next.js host, read our developer
