|
way. This will be explained here below.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
But first, let see how you can easily boost your ranking
|
||||||
|
by finetuning the content of your website.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Meta Tags
|
||||||
|
=========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Title, Description
|
||||||
|
------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Every web page should define the ``<title>`` and ``<description>`` meta data.
|
||||||
|
These information elements are used by search engines to promote your website.
|
||||||
|
They are automatically generated based on page title & content, but you can
|
||||||
|
finetune them. Make sure they fit the content of the page, otherwise you will
|
||||||
|
be downgraded by search engines.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Keywords
|
||||||
|
--------
|
||||||
|
In order to write quality content and boost your traffic, Odoo provides
|
||||||
|
a ``<keyword>`` finder. Those keywords are the searches you want to head
|
||||||
|
towards your website. For each keyword, you see how it is used in the content
|
||||||
|
(H1, H2, page title, page description, page content) and what are the related
|
||||||
|
searches in Google. The more keywords are used the better.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. note::
|
||||||
|
If your website is in multiple languages, you can use the Promote
|
||||||
|
tool for every language of a single page and set specific title,
|
||||||
|
description and search tags.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Content is King
|
||||||
|
===============
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When it comes to SEO, content is usually king. Odoo provides several
|
||||||
|
modules to help you build your website content:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Odoo Blogs**: write great contents.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Odoo Slides**: publish all your Powerpoint or PDF presentations.
|
||||||
|
Their content is automatically indexed on the web page. Example:
|
||||||
|
`https://www.odoo.com/slides/public-channel-1 <https://www.odoo.com/slides/public-channel-1>`__
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Odoo Forum**: let your community create contents for you. Example:
|
||||||
|
`https://odoo.com/forum/1 <https://odoo.com/forum/1>`__
|
||||||
|
(accounts for 30% of Odoo.com landing pages)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Odoo Mailing List Archive**: publish mailing list archives on your
|
||||||
|
website. Example:
|
||||||
|
`https://www.odoo.com/groups/community-59 <https://www.odoo.com/groups/community-59>`__
|
||||||
|
(1000 pages created per month)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. note::
|
||||||
|
The 404 page is a regular page, that you can edit like any other
|
||||||
|
page in Odoo. That way, you can build a great 404 page to redirect to
|
||||||
|
the top content of your website when visitors get lost in invalid URLs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use Social Networks
|
||||||
|
===================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Social media is built for mass sharing. If lots of people share your content
|
||||||
|
on social media, then it's likely more people will link to it,
|
||||||
|
and links are a huge factor for SEO ranking.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Odoo embeds several tools to share content through social media:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Social Network
|
||||||
|
--------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Odoo allows to link all your social network accounts in your website footer.
|
||||||
|
All you have to do is to refer all your accounts in your company settings.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Social Share
|
||||||
|
------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Drop the building block *Share* on any page you want your visitors to share.
|
||||||
|
By clicking the icon, they are prompted to share the page in their social media
|
||||||
|
wall.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Most social media use a picture of the picture to decorate the share post.
|
||||||
|
Odoo uses the website logo by default but you can choose any other image
|
||||||
|
of your page in the Promote tool.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Facebook Page
|
||||||
|
-------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Drop the building block *Facebook Page* to display a widget of your Facebook
|
||||||
|
business page and encourage visitors to follow it.
|
||||||
|
You can display the timeline, the next events and the messages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Twitter Scroller
|
||||||
|
----------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Display the Twitter feeds with customer satifaction on your website.
|
||||||
|
THis will increase the number of tweets and shares.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Test Your Website
|
||||||
|
=================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can compare how your website rank, in terms of SEO, against Odoo
|
||||||
|
using WooRank free services:
|
||||||
|
`https://www.woorank.com <https://www.woorank.com>`__
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
URLs Handling
|
||||||
|
=============
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
URLs Structure
|
||||||
|
--------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A typical Odoo URL will look like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- https://www.mysite.com/fr\_FR/shop/product/my-great-product-31
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With the following components:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **https://** = Protocol
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **www.mysite.com** = your domain name
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **/fr\_FR** = page language. This part of the URL is
|
||||||
|
removed if the visitor browses the main language of the website
|
||||||
|
Thus, the main version of this page is:
|
||||||
|
https://www.mysite.com/shop/product/my-great-product-31
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **/shop/product** = every module defines its own namespace (/shop is
|
||||||
|
for the catalog of the eCommerce module, /shop/product is for a
|
||||||
|
product page).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **my-great-product** = by default, this is the slugified title of the
|
||||||
|
product this page refers to. But you can customize it for SEO
|
||||||
|
purposes. A product named "Pain carré" will be slugified to
|
||||||
|
"pain-carre". Depending on the namespace, this could be different
|
||||||
|
objects (blog post, page title, forum post, forum comment,
|
||||||
|
product category, etc.).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **-31** = the unique ID of the product
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that any dynamic component of an URL can be reduced to its ID. As
|
||||||
|
an example, the following URLs all do a 301 redirect to the above URL:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- https://www.mysite.com/fr\_FR/shop/product/31 (short version)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- http://mysite.com/fr\_FR/shop/product/31 (even shorter version)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- http://mysite.com/fr\_FR/shop/product/other-product-name-31 (old
|
||||||
|
product name)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some URLs have several dynamic parts, like this one (a blog category and
|
||||||
|
a post):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- https://www.odoo.com/blog/company-news-5/post/the-odoo-story-56
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the above example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- *Company News* is the title of the blog
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- *The Odoo Story* is the title of a specific blog post
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When an Odoo page has a pager, the page number is set directly in the
|
||||||
|
URL (does not have a GET argument). This allows every page to be indexed
|
||||||
|
by search engines. Example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- https://www.odoo.com/blog/page/3
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Changes in URLs & Titles
|
||||||
|
------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When the URL of a page changes (e.g. a more SEO friendly version of your
|
||||||
|
product name), you don't have to worry about updating all links:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Odoo will automatically update all its links to the new URL
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- If external websites still points to the old URL, a 301 redirect will
|
||||||
|
be done to route visitors to the new website
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As an example, this URL:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- http://mysite.com/shop/product/old-product-name-31
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Will automatically redirect to :
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- http://mysite.com/shop/product/new-and-better-product-name-31
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In short, just change the title of a blog post or the name of a product,
|
||||||
|
and the changes will apply automatically everywhere in your website. The
|
||||||
|
old link still works for links coming from external websites, with a 301
|
||||||
|
redirect to not lose the SEO link juice.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
HTTPS
|
||||||
|
-----
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Search engines boost ranking of secure HTTPS/SSL websites.
|
||||||
|
So, by default all Odoo Online instances are fully
|
||||||
|
based on HTTPS. If the visitor accesses your website through a non HTTPS
|
||||||
|
url, it gets a 301 redirect to its HTTPS equivalent.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Links: Nofollow Strategy
|
||||||
|
------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The more a page is linked from external and quality websites,
|
||||||
|
the better it is for your SEO.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here are Odoo strategies to manage links:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Every link you add to your website is
|
||||||
|
"dofollow", which means that this link will contribute to the SEO
|
||||||
|
Juice for the linked page.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Every link posted by a contributor (forum post, blog comment, etc.)
|
||||||
|
that links to your own website is "dofollow" too.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- But every link posted by a contributor that links to an external
|
||||||
|
website is "nofollow". In that way, you do not run the risk of
|
||||||
|
people posting links on your website to third-party websites
|
||||||
|
which have a bad reputation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Note that, when using the forum, contributors having a lot of Karma
|
||||||
|
can be trusted. In such case, their links will not have any
|
||||||
|
``rel="nofollow"`` attribute.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Multi-Language Support
|
||||||
|
======================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Multi-Language URLs
|
||||||
|
-------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you run a website in multiple languages, the same content will be
|
||||||
|
available in different URLs, depending on the language used:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- https://www.mywebsite.com/shop/product/my-product-1 (main language, English here)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- https://www.mywebsite.com\/fr\_FR/shop/product/mon-produit-1 (French version)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In this example, fr\_FR is the language of the page. You can even have
|
||||||
|
several variations of the same language: pt\_BR (Portuguese from Brazil)
|
||||||
|
, pt\_PT (Portuguese from Portugal).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Language Annotation
|
||||||
|
-------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To let search engines know that the second URL is the French translation of the
|
||||||
|
first URL, Odoo will add an HTML link element in the header. In the HTML
|
||||||
|
<head> section of the main version, Odoo automatically adds a link
|
||||||
|
element pointing to the translated versions of that webpage;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- <link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr"
|
||||||
|
href="https://www.mywebsite.com\/fr\_FR/shop/product/mon-produit-1"/>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With this approach:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Search engines will redirect to th right language according to the
|
||||||
|
visitor language.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- You do not get penalized by search engines if your page is not translated
|
||||||
|
yet. Indeed, it's not a duplicated content, but a different
|
||||||
|
version of the same content.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Language Detection
|
||||||
|
------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When a visitor lands for the first time on your website (e.g.
|
||||||
|
yourwebsite.com/shop), they may automatically be redirected to a
|
||||||
|
translated version according to their browser language preference: (e.g.
|
||||||
|
yourwebsite.com/fr\_FR/shop).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Next time, it keeps a cookie of the current language to
|
||||||
|
avoid any redirection.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To force a visitor to stick to the default language, you can use the
|
||||||
|
code of the default language in your link, example:
|
||||||
|
yourwebsite.com/en\_US/shop. This will always land visitors to the
|
||||||
|
English version of the page, without using the browser language
|
||||||
|
preferences.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
How Odoo Handles Search Engines
|
||||||
|
===============================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sitemap
|
||||||
|
-------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The sitemap points out pages to index to search engine robots.
|
||||||
|
Odoo generates a ``/sitemap.xml`` file automatically for you. For
|
||||||
|
performance reasons, this file is cached and updated every 12 hours.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By default, all URLs will be in a single ``/sitemap.xml`` file, but if you
|
||||||
|
have a lot of pages, Odoo will automatically create a Sitemap Index
|
||||||
|
file, respecting the `sitemaps.org
|
||||||
|
protocol <http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html>`__ grouping sitemap
|
||||||
|
URL's in 45000 chunks per file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Every sitemap entry has 4 attributes that are computed automatically:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ``<loc>`` : the URL of a page
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ``<lastmod>`` : last modification date of the resource, computed
|
||||||
|
automatically based on related object. For a page related to a
|
||||||
|
product, this could be the last modification date of the product
|
||||||
|
or the page.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ``<priority>`` : modules may implement their own priority algorithm based
|
||||||
|
on their content (example: a forum might assign a priority based
|
||||||
|
on the number of votes on a specific post). The priority of a
|
||||||
|
static page is defined by it's priority field, which is
|
||||||
|
normalized (16 is the default).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Structured Data Markup
|
||||||
|
----------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Structured Data Markup is used to generate Rich Snippets in search
|
||||||
|
engine results. It is a way for website owners to send structured data
|
||||||
|
to search engine robots; helping them understand your content and
|
||||||
|
create well-presented search results.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Google supports a number of rich snippets for content types, including:
|
||||||
|
Reviews, People, Products, Businesses, Events and Organizations.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Odoo implements micro data as defined in the
|
||||||
|
`schema.org <http://schema.org>`__ specification for events, eCommerce
|
||||||
|
products, forum posts and contact addresses. This allows your product
|
||||||
|
pages to be displayed in Google using extra information like the price
|
||||||
|
and rating of a product:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. image:: media/seo12.png
|
||||||
|
:align: center
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
robots.txt
|
||||||
|
----------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When indexing your website, search engines take a first look at the
|
||||||
|
general indexing rules of the a``/robots.txt`` file (allowed robots,
|
||||||
|
sitemap path, etc.). Odoo automatically creates it. Its content is:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
User-agent: \*
|
||||||
|
Sitemap: https://www.odoo.com/sitemap.xml
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It means that all robots are allowed to index your website
|
||||||
|
and there is no other indexing rule than specified in the sitemap
|
||||||
|
to be found at following address.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can customize the file *robots* in developer mode from
|
||||||
|
*Settings --> Technical --> User Interface --> Views*
|
||||||
|
(exclude robots, exclude some pages, redirect to a custom Sitemap).
|
||||||
|
Make the Model Data of the view *Non Updatable* to not reset the
|
||||||
|
file after system upgrades.

URLs Handling

=============
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
URLs Structure
|
|
||||||
--------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A typical Odoo URL will look like this:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- https://www.mysite.com/fr\_FR/shop/product/my-great-product-31
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
With the following components:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **https://** = Protocol
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **www.mysite.com** = your domain name
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **/fr\_FR** = page language. This part of the URL is
|
|
||||||
removed if the visitor browses the main language of the website
|
|
||||||
Thus, the main version of this page is:
|
|
||||||
https://www.mysite.com/shop/product/my-great-product-31
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **/shop/product** = every module defines its own namespace (/shop is
|
|
||||||
for the catalog of the eCommerce module, /shop/product is for a
|
|
||||||
product page).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **my-great-product** = by default, this is the slugified title of the
|
|
||||||
product this page refers to. But you can customize it for SEO
|
|
||||||
purposes. A product named "Pain carré" will be slugified to
|
|
||||||
"pain-carre". Depending on the namespace, this could be different
|
|
||||||
objects (blog post, page title, forum post, forum comment,
|
|
||||||
product category, etc.).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **-31** = the unique ID of the product
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note that any dynamic component of an URL can be reduced to its ID. As
|
|
||||||
an example, the following URLs all do a 301 redirect to the above URL:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- https://www.mysite.com/fr\_FR/shop/product/31 (short version)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- http://mysite.com/fr\_FR/shop/product/31 (even shorter version)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- http://mysite.com/fr\_FR/shop/product/other-product-name-31 (old
|
|
||||||
product name)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Some URLs have several dynamic parts, like this one (a blog category and
|
|
||||||
a post):
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- https://www.odoo.com/blog/company-news-5/post/the-odoo-story-56
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In the above example:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- *Company News* is the title of the blog
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- *The Odoo Story* is the title of a specific blog post
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When an Odoo page has a pager, the page number is set directly in the
|
|
||||||
URL (does not have a GET argument). This allows every page to be indexed
|
|
||||||
by search engines. Example:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- https://www.odoo.com/blog/page/3
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Changes in URLs & Titles
|
|
||||||
------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When the URL of a page changes (e.g. a more SEO friendly version of your
|
|
||||||
product name), you don't have to worry about updating all links:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Odoo will automatically update all its links to the new URL
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- If external websites still points to the old URL, a 301 redirect will
|
|
||||||
be done to route visitors to the new website
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As an example, this URL:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- http://mysite.com/shop/product/old-product-name-31
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Will automatically redirect to :
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- http://mysite.com/shop/product/new-and-better-product-name-31
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In short, just change the title of a blog post or the name of a product,
|
|
||||||
and the changes will apply automatically everywhere in your website. The
|
|
||||||
old link still works for links coming from external websites, with a 301
|
|
||||||
redirect to not lose the SEO link juice.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
HTTPS
|
|
||||||
-----
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Search engines boost ranking of secure HTTPS/SSL websites.
|
|
||||||
So, by default all Odoo Online instances are fully
|
|
||||||
based on HTTPS. If the visitor accesses your website through a non HTTPS
|
|
||||||
url, it gets a 301 redirect to its HTTPS equivalent.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Links: Nofollow Strategy
|
|
||||||
------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The more a page is linked from external and quality websites,
|
|
||||||
the better it is for your SEO.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Here are Odoo strategies to manage links:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Every link you add to your website is
|
|
||||||
"dofollow", which means that this link will contribute to the SEO
|
|
||||||
Juice for the linked page.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Every link posted by a contributor (forum post, blog comment, etc.)
|
|
||||||
that links to your own website is "dofollow" too.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- But every link posted by a contributor that links to an external
|
|
||||||
website is "nofollow". In that way, you do not run the risk of
|
|
||||||
people posting links on your website to third-party websites
|
|
||||||
which have a bad reputation.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Note that, when using the forum, contributors having a lot of Karma
|
|
||||||
can be trusted. In such case, their links will not have any
|
|
||||||
``rel="nofollow"`` attribute.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Multi-Language Support
|
|
||||||
======================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Multi-Language URLs
|
|
||||||
-------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you run a website in multiple languages, the same content will be
|
|
||||||
available in different URLs, depending on the language used:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- https://www.mywebsite.com/shop/product/my-product-1 (main language, English here)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- https://www.mywebsite.com\/fr\_FR/shop/product/mon-produit-1 (French version)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In this example, fr\_FR is the language of the page. You can even have
|
|
||||||
several variations of the same language: pt\_BR (Portuguese from Brazil)
|
|
||||||
, pt\_PT (Portuguese from Portugal).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Language Annotation
|
|
||||||
-------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To let search engines know that the second URL is the French translation of the
|
|
||||||
first URL, Odoo will add an HTML link element in the header. In the HTML
|
|
||||||
<head> section of the main version, Odoo automatically adds a link
|
|
||||||
element pointing to the translated versions of that webpage;
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- <link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr"
|
|
||||||
href="https://www.mywebsite.com\/fr\_FR/shop/product/mon-produit-1"/>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
With this approach:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Search engines will redirect to th right language according to the
|
|
||||||
visitor language.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- You do not get penalized by search engines if your page is not translated
|
|
||||||
yet. Indeed, it's not a duplicated content, but a different
|
|
||||||
version of the same content.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Language Detection
|
|
||||||
------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When a visitor lands for the first time on your website (e.g.
|
|
||||||
yourwebsite.com/shop), they may automatically be redirected to a
|
|
||||||
translated version according to their browser language preference: (e.g.
|
|
||||||
yourwebsite.com/fr\_FR/shop).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Next time, it keeps a cookie of the current language to
|
|
||||||
avoid any redirection.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To force a visitor to stick to the default language, you can use the
|
|
||||||
code of the default language in your link, example:
|
|
||||||
yourwebsite.com/en\_US/shop. This will always land visitors to the
|
|
||||||
English version of the page, without using the browser language
|
|
||||||
preferences.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Meta Tags
|
|
||||||
=========
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Titles, Keywords and Description
|
|
||||||
--------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Every web page should define the ``<title>``, ``<description>`` and ``<keywords>``
|
|
||||||
meta data. These information elements are used by search engines to rank
|
|
||||||
and categorize your website according to a specific search query. So, it
|
|
||||||
is important to have titles and keywords in line with what people seek.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In order to write quality content and boost your traffic, Odoo provides
|
|
||||||
a keyword finder. For each keyword, you see how it is used through the content
|
|
||||||
(H1, H2, page title, page description, page content) and what are the related
|
|
||||||
searches in Google. The more keywords are used the better.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
:align: center
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. note::
|
|
||||||
If your website is in multiple languages, you can use the Promote
|
|
||||||
tool for every language of a single page.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Sitemap
|
|
||||||
-------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The sitemap points out pages to index to search engine robots.
|
|
||||||
Odoo generates a ``/sitemap.xml`` file automatically for you. For
|
|
||||||
performance reasons, this file is cached and updated every 12 hours.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
By default, all URLs will be in a single ``/sitemap.xml`` file, but if you
|
|
||||||
have a lot of pages, Odoo will automatically create a Sitemap Index
|
|
||||||
file, respecting the `sitemaps.org
|
|
||||||
protocol <http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html>`__ grouping sitemap
|
|
||||||
URL's in 45000 chunks per file.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Every sitemap entry has 4 attributes that are computed automatically:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- ``<loc>`` : the URL of a page
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- ``<lastmod>`` : last modification date of the resource, computed
|
|
||||||
automatically based on related object. For a page related to a
|
|
||||||
product, this could be the last modification date of the product
|
|
||||||
or the page.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- ``<priority>`` : modules may implement their own priority algorithm based
|
|
||||||
on their content (example: a forum might assign a priority based
|
|
||||||
on the number of votes on a specific post). The priority of a
|
|
||||||
static page is defined by it's priority field, which is
|
|
||||||
normalized (16 is the default).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Structured Data Markup
|
|
||||||
----------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Structured Data Markup is used to generate Rich Snippets in search
|
|
||||||
engine results. It is a way for website owners to send structured data
|
|
||||||
to search engine robots; helping them understand your content and
|
|
||||||
create well-presented search results.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Google supports a number of rich snippets for content types, including:
|
|
||||||
Reviews, People, Products, Businesses, Events and Organizations.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Odoo implements micro data as defined in the
|
|
||||||
`schema.org <http://schema.org>`__ specification for events, eCommerce
|
|
||||||
products, forum posts and contact addresses. This allows your product
|
|
||||||
pages to be displayed in Google using extra information like the price
|
|
||||||
and rating of a product:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. image:: media/seo12.png
|
|
||||||
:align: center
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
robots.txt
|
|
||||||
----------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When indexing your website, search engines take a first look at the
|
|
||||||
general indexing rules of the a``/robots.txt`` file (allowed robots,
|
|
||||||
sitemap path, etc.). Odoo automatically creates it. Its content is:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
User-agent: \*
|
|
||||||
Sitemap: https://www.odoo.com/sitemap.xml
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It means that all robots are allowed to index your website
|
|
||||||
and there is no other indexing rule than specified in the sitemap
|
|
||||||
to be found at following address.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You can customize the file *robots* in developer mode from
|
|
||||||
*Settings --> Technical --> User Interface --> Views*
|
|
||||||
(exclude robots, exclude some pages, redirect to a custom Sitemap).
|
|
||||||
Make the Model Data of the view *Non Updatable* to not reset the
|
|
||||||
file after system upgrades.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Content is King
|
|
||||||
===============
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When it comes to SEO, content is usually king. Odoo provides several
|
|
||||||
modules to help you build your website contents:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Odoo Slides**: publish all your Powerpoint or PDF presentations.
|
|
||||||
Their content is automatically indexed on the web page. Example:
|
|
||||||
`https://www.odoo.com/slides/public-channel-1 <https://www.odoo.com/slides/public-channel-1>`__
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Odoo Forum**: let your community create contents for you. Example:
|
|
||||||
`https://odoo.com/forum/1 <https://odoo.com/forum/1>`__
|
|
||||||
(accounts for 30% of Odoo.com landing pages)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Odoo Mailing List Archive**: publish mailing list archives on your
|
|
||||||
website. Example:
|
|
||||||
`https://www.odoo.com/groups/community-59 <https://www.odoo.com/groups/community-59>`__
|
|
||||||
(1000 pages created per month)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Odoo Blogs**: write great contents.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. note::
|
|
||||||
The 404 page is a regular page, that you can edit like any other
|
|
||||||
page in Odoo. That way, you can build a great 404 page to redirect to
|
|
||||||
the top content of your website when visitors get lost in invalid URLs.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Social Features
|
|
||||||
===============
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Social media is built for mass sharing. If lots of people share your content
|
|
||||||
on social media, then it's likely more people will link to it,
|
|
||||||
and links are a huge factor for SEO ranking.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Odoo embeds several tools to share content through social media:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Social Network
|
|
||||||
--------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Odoo allows to link all your social network accounts in your website footer.
|
|
||||||
All you have to do is to refer all your accounts in your company settings.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Social Share
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Drop the building block *Share* on any page you want your visitors to share.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Facebook Page
|
|
||||||
-------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Drop the building block *Facebook Page* to display a widget of your Facebook
|
|
||||||
business page and encourage visitors to follow it.
|
|
||||||
You can display the timeline, the next events and the messages.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Twitter Scroller
|
|
||||||
----------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Display the Twitter feeds with customer satifaction on your website.
|
|
||||||
THis will increase the number of tweets and shares.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
