Defining Inventoried Product Search Engine Optimization

As of 7.6.0, enhancements have been made to the Personify360 .NET web controls to support Search Engine Optimization (SEO). SEO is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's "natural" or unpaid ("organic") search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users.

 

On-page optimization refers to factors that have an effect on your website or web page listing in natural search results. These factors are controlled by you or by coding on your page. As of 7.6.1, you can define on-page factors on a inventoried product.

As of 7.6.1, you can also define alternative text for images that display on the Product Detail and Meeting Detail controls. For more information, please see Adding Inventoried Product Online Store Listing Images.
