Product Meta Description for SEO

Post by tessthepup »

I have added a short brief synopsis of a product to the Product Meta Description for SEO.

And according to a brief search
The meta description is a snippet of up to about 155 characters – a tag in HTML – which summarizes a page's content. Search engines show it in search results mostly when the searched-for phrase is within the description. So optimizing it is crucial for on-page SEO
My question is ... should the Product Meta Description for SEO show in the productg listing and how do I stop it showing but still keep it for SEO???

Is there a setting somewhere I have missed?

Thanks

You could remove this line in a copy placed in the same path in the override-template.

I thought there would be a setting somewhere, maybe a suggestion for future updates

It could actually rather easily be done as an addon. I think that would be better than including it in core.

I forgot to mention that the change could also be done with css:

Code: Select all

.card-body .font-weight-lighter {
  display:none;
}
in templates/override/static/user.css

Yes that works but I think it is better to target more specifically by using the 'Phoenix Cart' class of the parent div first, that is .cm-ip-product-listing so:

Code: Select all

 .cm-ip-product-listing .card-body .font-weight-lighter {
    display: none;
  }

No it should not show in the product listing on the website. It should only show in the text of the page when you "View page source" from your internet browser. Its only something for the search engines really and should let them know what is on the page.

Yes it does show on product listings on a default Phoenix Cart installation.
Some shops like to have a short description on their product listings but as shown in previous posts it can be prevented from displaying with CSS but it will still be picked up by search engines and used in some search engine results.
