The Extended SEO Settings tab in the Admin Panel provides professional-grade control over the technical meta tags that define how your search engine communicates with every corner of the web. While the standard SEO tab handles your visible brand identity, Extended SEO focuses on the specialized directives that govern mobile behavior, security policies, and compatibility with both modern and legacy indexing systems. By mastering these settings, you ensure your platform remains technically superior and accessible to all types of web crawlers and user agents.
🚀 Modern Technical Directives
These tags manage specific, high-value functionality for modern web standards and mobile devices:
- Format Detection (Mobile): This setting allows you to control whether mobile devices automatically detect and highlight data like phone numbers as clickable links. Disabling this ensures your search results maintain their intended design without unintended browser styling.
- Referrer Policy: Control how much information your site shares with other domains when a user clicks an external link. By setting this to “Origin Only,” you maximize user privacy while still providing enough data to maintain your site’s authority in web logs.
- Generator & Publisher Identity: Explicitly identify the software used to power your engine and name your organization as the official publisher. This reinforces your brand’s legitimacy to search engine crawlers.
📜 Legacy Compatibility & Deep Indexing
To ensure no crawler is left behind, the Legacy Tags section allows you to support older systems and provide deep-level site classification:
- Revisit After Directives: Tell search engine crawlers exactly how often they should return to re-index your home page. Setting this to “30 Days” ensures a consistent refresh cycle without overwhelming your server resources.
- Global Distribution & Classification: Define your site’s target as “Global” and its classification as “Business”. These broad signals help categorize your engine correctly within diverse global directories. Unless of course you are aiming more local and more niche)
- Abstract & Rating: Provide a concise “Abstract” summarizing your engine’s purpose and set a “General” rating to ensure your site is flagged as safe for all audiences across all filtering systems.
