SEO & Index Tools is a powerful collection of search engine optimization features for Xenforo 2. SEO & Index Tools is developed with years of experience in managing SEO and brings numerous key features missing from Xenforo.
With a focus on indexing content, you can have fine-tuned control over what content is indexed by search engine providers such as Google, Bing and more. Set noindex and nofollow directives on entire nodes or categories -- including those from addons such as Media Gallery or Resource Manager -- or set at the content level!
SEO & Index Tools includes a custom Google Live Preview feature for previewing how your content will appear in search engines! With optional meta title and description fields, this powerful exclusive feature will guide you to creating fantastic search snippets. Simply start typing and the Live Preview will update on the fly.
Uses content titles and descriptions by default
Fill out optional SEO titles or descriptions to override these values for search engines only, without interfering in your front-end or what your visitors will see
Assign custom OG:Auth images for social media sharing
SEO & Index Tools goes above and beyond in extending functionality to the most popular Xenforo addons. Enter custom SEO titles, descriptions and social sharing images to categories and content from Media Gallery, Resource Manager, Xenforo shop addons and more!
