Overview
After publishing your Website Studio site, you may want to connect a CMS (Content Management System) to power dynamic content and add meta tags to improve SEO. This article covers where to find these settings in Website Studio and how to complete each task independently.
Connecting a CMS Data Source
Website Studio supports CMS and data source integrations so your pages can pull in dynamic content from external sources. To connect a CMS data source, follow these general steps:
- Click your Avatar, then go to Settings → CMS Connectors to begin the CMS connection flow.
- Choose your source type (for example, a spreadsheet or external database) and follow the on-screen prompts to authenticate and map your data fields to page elements.
- Once connected, publish or preview your site to confirm that dynamic content is loading correctly.
If you do not see a CMS or Data Sources option in your editor, your account plan or editor version may not include this feature. In that case, note your project name and any error messages you encounter, then contact our team for plan-specific guidance.
Adding Meta Tags to Your Pages
Meta tags — including title tags, meta descriptions, and canonical URLs — help search engines understand your page content and improve how your site appears in search results. To configure meta tags in Website Studio:
- Open your project and select the page you want to configure from the page list.
- Look for a Page Settings, SEO, or Meta panel — this is usually accessible by clicking a gear or settings icon associated with the individual page, or through a top-level SEO Settings menu.
- Enter your desired title tag and meta description in the provided fields.
- If you need to set a canonical URL, look for a Canonical URL field within the same SEO or page settings panel and enter the full URL of the preferred version of the page.
- Save your changes and republish the page for the meta tags to take effect.
Repeat these steps for each page you want to optimize. Changes typically appear in search engine indexes within a few days to weeks after republishing.
