The Preview shows an example of how your pages may look in search results based on the Page Title and Meta Description formats you set.

Setting the Page SEO Title Format

To set the SEO title format that will be used to automatically generate SEO titles for your pages, click on one of our smart tags shown above the Page Title field.

Adding a smart tag to the Page Title field

You can also type the hash character ( # ) in the field to display a list of available tags you can choose from.

You can also enter text in the Page Title field or combine text with the smart tags and there’s an emoji picker where you can add an emoji.

Whatever you set in the Page Title will apply to all your pages. However, you can override this in the Edit Page screen where you'll see a Page Title field in the AIOSEO Settings section.

Setting the Page SEO Description Format

You can set the SEO description format that will be used to automatically generate SEO descriptions for your pages by using the Meta Description field.

This field works in the same way as the Page Title field. You can select from one of the smart tags displayed above the field, or type the hash character ( # ) in the field to display a list of available tags you can choose from.
