The SEO & Social Media Settings tab in the Admin Panel is the master control centre for your engine’s global authority and viral potential. In a “Surgical Learning” model, where your engine gets faster as it grows, your primary goal is to ensure that your domain, not just the search results, is the first thing people see when they look for a modern, efficient search alternative. This tab provides the tools to build a “Social Fortress” around your brand, ensuring that your site isn’t just a script, but a legitimate, high-trust business entity in the eyes of Google, Bing, and major social networks.
🌐 Global Authority: Basic SEO Meta Tags
This section allows you to dictate exactly how search engine crawlers perceive your platform. By fine-tuning these fields, you are optimizing for the “Alternative Search” market:
- Website Title: Craft a concise, keyword-rich title (recommended 50-60 characters). This is your first impression in the SERPs and the most important factor in branding your specific search experience.
- Website Description: You have 150-300 characters to write a “hook.” This is where you sell the unique value proposition: a search engine that learns, caches, and runs with lightning speed on minimal resources.
- Keyword Management: While often considered legacy, these keywords help with internal organization and provide signals to smaller search engines and directories that still utilize meta-keyword tags.
🛡️ Building the “Social Fortress”: 17+ Platform Integration
To rank at the top, you need high-authority back-links and social signals. The Admin Panel allows you to hard-code your presence across a massive array of global platforms. By filling these out, you generate the schema and metadata that tell Google you are a broad-spectrum brand:
- Western Giants: Full integration for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Snipesocial and Pinterest.
- The New Guard: Connect your TikTok, Mastodon, and Bluesky profiles to capture the decentralised and short-form video audiences.
- The Professional Edge: Dedicated slots for GitHub, Slack, Discord, and Telegram to foster a community around your engine.
- Global/Eastern Markets: This is where you scale globally with integration for Baidu Tieba, WeChat, Weibo, and VK (Vkontakte), ensuring your brand has a footprint in every major internet economy.
- Regional Specialties: Slots for Odnoklassniki, Tumblr, and Vimeo ensure no demographic is left out of your social network.
📱 Mastering the “Click”: Open Graph & Twitter Cards
When a user finds a cool result on your site and shares it, you want that share to look like a professional media card, not a plain text link. This section manages your “Rich Snippets”:
- Open Graph (og:) Tags: Set your og:title, og:site_name, and og:description. This controls how your site appears when shared on Facebook, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn.
- Twitter/X Cards: Specifically choose your Twitter Card Type (Summary or Summary with Large Image) to dominate the feed. You can also define your Twitter Site and Twitter Creator handles to ensure every tweet about your engine is attributed back to your account.
- The Global Thumbnail: Upload a high-resolution Image URL (HTTPS). This image acts as the “face” of your brand, appearing as the thumbnail for every social share, significantly increasing click-through rates.
🏢 Trust Signals & Business Schema
Search engines prioritize “Real Businesses.” By providing your structured data in the Contact Information section, the script automatically generates JSON-LD Schema.org tags:
- Direct Contact: Input your Phone Number and Email Address to verify your legitimacy.
- Physical Presence: Entering your Physical Address tells search crawlers that your engine is a verifiable entity, which is a major signal for high-authority ranking.
- Global Reach: The system uses this data to prove your engine is a high-trust, professional organization, giving you a distinct advantage over “fly-by-night” competitors who leave these signals blank.
By fully populating the SEO and Social tab, you aren’t just filling out a form—you are deploying a sophisticated SEO strategy that builds a massive, multi-platform identity, ensuring your search engine stays at the top of the rankings and looks like a multi-million dollar corporation every time a link is shared.
