How can I begin to Search Engine Optimize my Agent Studio website?

Although there are many ways to search engine optimize a website, Agent Studio website owners can begin by adding unique content (like keywords and phrases) to their homepage, webpages and sub-pages using tools located within the Control Panel of their Agent Studio website.

1. Log into your Agent Studio Website's Control Panel.
2. Click the CONTENT tab from the Control Panel menu.
3. Then click the PAGES tab from the side menu.
4. Next, click on the DEFAULT SEO button and use the form provided to enter general Search Engine Data for your website:

• The Search Engine Title, or title tag, is the clickable headline that will appear on search engine result pages allowing a user to select and visit your Agent Studio website.  Some website owners re-enter their Agent Studio Website Name into this field - for example, ABC Travel Company.
• The Search Engine Description, or meta description, is a short paragraph that describes your Agent Studio website by mentioning the unique content a website visitor will find there.  Think about what makes your Agent Studio website different from all other travel websites and enter a description that reflects your business model specifically.
• Search Engine Keywords are single words and phrases that search engines will use to match your Agent Studio website to web searches that contain the same key words.  Each keyword or phrase should be separated by a comma (,) and a single empty space.  Some website owners will enter keywords that support their company name, the destinations they sell, the types of travel they sell, the types of clientele they sell to, and the location of their agency - for example, ABC Travel, ABC Travel Company, Mexico, Cancun, Beaches, Luxury travel, VIP travel, travel, travel tips, travel information, travel agent, travel support, travel professional and so on.

You can also Search Engine Optimize individual pages of your website by following these steps:
