Update titles and meta descriptions on your platform

Find where your website platform keeps each page's SEO title, meta description and H1, and check the change went live.

Open in the appUpdated 2026-10-19

Your On-Page Mapping gives every page a new meta title, meta description and H1. SearchBlueprint writes them, but it doesn't change your website. You paste each one into your website platform yourself, and every platform keeps them in a different place.

Pick your platform

Each guide covers the title, description, H1, URL, image alt text and hiding a page from search. Every step links to the platform's own help page.

Not on the list? Search your platform's help centre for "SEO title" and "meta description".

What each field changes

FieldWhat it isWhere people see it
Meta titleThe page's <title> tagThe clickable headline in Google, and the browser tab
Meta descriptionThe <meta name="description"> tagSometimes, the two lines under that headline
H1The main heading on the pageOn the page itself
URL slugThe last part of the page's addressThe address bar and the search result
Image alt textA short description of an imageScreen readers read it out; search engines read it too
NoindexA tag that keeps a page out of searchNowhere. The page drops out of search results

Most platforms keep the meta title apart from the name you give the page. Changing one leaves the other alone, so check which box you're typing into.

When someone else edits your site

If a developer looks after your site, or it's built in code, hand the changes over instead. On the On-Page Mapping tab, Copy as AI prompt gives you one prompt for Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable. Export > Word implementation guide (.docx) lists every change page by page for a developer.

Check it worked

To check a page after you change it:

  1. Open the free Meta tag checker and enter the page's address. It shows the title, meta description, H1s and robots tag the page serves right now.
  2. Compare them with the page's row on the On-Page Mapping tab.
  3. Tick Mark done on that row. Your On-Page Health Score moves at the next audit, once it finds the change live.

Google shows a new title once it has recrawled the page, which Google says can take a few days to a few weeks. It can also choose other text for the headline or the snippet. Google explains how in Influencing your title links and Control your snippets.

Troubleshooting

The checker still shows the old title

Why this happens: the change isn't live yet. Webflow, Framer, Wix and Duda only update the live site when you publish it, and a cache can keep serving an older copy.

To fix: publish the page or the site, clear any cache your site uses, then check again.

The new title shows on the page but not in Google

Why this happens: Google hasn't recrawled the page yet, or it chose its own wording.

To fix: give it time. If you own the site in Google Search Console, you can ask Google to recrawl the page with the URL Inspection tool. See Ask Google to recrawl your URLs.
