SEO lives in your site dashboard, not your account portal. Your account portal is only for billing — your subscription, Wallet, and account details. To work on SEO, open your site dashboard with the Glowply dashboard button. See Site dashboard overview.
Glowply handles SEO through a built-in optimization tool, so you don’t install or set up anything. You just fill in the details for each page, and your site takes care of the technical parts behind the scenes.
What SEO controls
A few small details decide how your page appears in search results and when it’s shared. These are the parts you’ll set:Page title
The headline that shows in Google results and at the top of the browser tab. It tells searchers — and search engines — what the page is about.
Meta description
The short summary under the title in search results. A clear, inviting description encourages people to click.
Web address (URL)
The friendly link to your page, like
/about or /candles. Short, readable addresses are easier to share and rank better.Share preview
The title, description, and image that appear when your page is shared on social media or messaging apps.

Open your SEO settings
Site-wide SEO options live in the Marketing section. This is where you set defaults that apply across your whole site.1
Open your site dashboard
Sign in to Glowply, open your account portal, and click Glowply dashboard on your site card. Your dashboard opens in a new tab.
2
Go to Marketing → SEO
In the left-side menu, choose Marketing (التسويق), then SEO (تحسين محركات البحث).
3
Set your site-wide basics
Add your site name and a default description. These are used across your site and as a fallback whenever a single page doesn’t have its own title or description.
Set the SEO for a single page
The most important SEO work is done on each page. You set a page’s title, description, address, and preview while you edit it.1
Open the page
In your site dashboard, go to Pages (الصفحات) and open the page you want to optimize — for example your Home or About page. (For a product, open it under Store → Products instead.)
2
Find the SEO settings
Look for the SEO settings for that page. This is where you enter the title, description, and address that search engines and social apps will use.
3
Write a clear title
Enter a page title that says what the page is and includes your business or product name — for example Vanilla Soy Candles — Nour Store. Aim for roughly 50–60 characters so it isn’t cut off in results.
4
Write a short description
Add a meta description of about one or two sentences (around 150 characters) that sums up the page and gives people a reason to click. Write naturally — describe what visitors will find.
5
Tidy up the web address
Check the page’s address (also called the slug or permalink). Keep it short and readable, using words instead of numbers — for example
/about or /vanilla-candle. See Friendly web addresses below.6
Set the share preview
Choose the image, title, and description that appear when the page is shared on social media. A good preview image makes your links stand out. See Social share previews below.
7
Save and publish
Save your changes, and make sure the page is published so search engines can find it. New or updated pages can take a little while to appear in search results.
After publishing, search Google for your business name or page title. It can take days or weeks for a new page to appear — search engines update on their own schedule.
Friendly web addresses
A page’s web address (its URL) is the link people see and share. A friendly address is short, uses real words, and hints at what the page contains.
Tips for good addresses:
- Use words, not numbers —
/contactis clearer than/p7. - Keep it short — a few words is plenty.
- Use hyphens between words —
/gift-sets, not/gift_setsor/giftsets. - Stick to lowercase English letters, numbers, and hyphens — avoid spaces, symbols, and capital letters.
Social share previews
When someone shares your page on social media or a messaging app, that platform shows a preview card — usually an image, the page title, and the description. Setting these makes your links look professional and clickable instead of plain.1
Choose a preview image
Pick a clear, attractive image that represents the page — your logo, a product photo, or a banner. Wide (landscape) images display best. Upload it or pick one from your Media library (مكتبة الوسائط).
2
Set the preview title and description
These can match your page title and meta description, or you can write a shorter, punchier version made for social feeds.
3
Save the page
Save and publish. Now your links show a tidy preview wherever they’re shared.
SEO for products
Your Store products are pages too, so they get the same SEO settings. Open a product under Store (المتجر) → Products (المنتجات) and find its SEO options.- Product title — include the product name and a useful detail, like Handmade Vanilla Soy Candle.
- Product description — your normal product description helps search engines understand the item, so write it for real shoppers with honest, specific details.
- Web address — keep the product’s link short and word-based, like
/vanilla-candle. - Share preview — use your best product photo as the share image so links look great when customers send them to friends.
Clear categories and tags help shoppers and search engines understand your catalog. They also create the menus and filters customers browse. See Categories & tags.
Simple best practices
A few habits go a long way. You don’t need to be an expert — just be clear and consistent.Give every page a unique title and description
Give every page a unique title and description
Each page should have its own title and description that match what’s on it. Avoid using the same title across pages — it confuses both visitors and search engines.
Write for people, not search engines
Write for people, not search engines
Use the words your customers would actually search for, written in plain language. Don’t stuff keywords or repeat phrases — natural, helpful writing performs better and reads better.
Use clear headings on your pages
Use clear headings on your pages
Structure each page with a strong main heading and helpful subheadings in the Builder (البلدر). Headings help readers scan and help search engines understand your content.
Add descriptive text to your images
Add descriptive text to your images
When you add images, give them descriptive alt text (a short phrase describing the picture). It helps search engines and makes your site usable for visitors who rely on screen readers. You manage this in your Media library (مكتبة الوسائط).
Keep your most important pages easy to reach
Keep your most important pages easy to reach
Link to your key pages from your menu and homepage. Pages that are easy for visitors to reach are also easier for search engines to find.
Be patient and keep your site fresh
Be patient and keep your site fresh
SEO takes time — new pages don’t appear in search instantly. Keep adding useful content, like blog posts, and update your pages when things change. See Write your blog.
Your address always uses secure HTTPS automatically, which search engines prefer — there’s nothing to set up. See Site management.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to submit my site to Google?
Do I need to submit my site to Google?
No. Search engines discover and index public websites on their own over time. Just publish your pages and fill in their SEO details. New sites and pages can take days or weeks to appear in results.
Why isn't my site showing up on Google yet?
Why isn't my site showing up on Google yet?
New pages take time to be found and ranked — this is normal. Make sure the page is published, has a clear title and description, and is linked from your menu or homepage. Then give it time.
What's the difference between the page title and the title on my page?
What's the difference between the page title and the title on my page?
The page title in your SEO settings is what shows in search results and the browser tab. The headings on your page (the big text visitors read) are set in the Builder. It’s good for them to match closely, but they’re set in two different places.
Can I change a page's web address later?
Can I change a page's web address later?
You can, but it’s best not to once a page is live. The old link will stop working and anyone who saved or shared it will hit a “not found” page. Choose a good address when you first create the page.
How long should my title and description be?
How long should my title and description be?
Aim for a title of about 50–60 characters and a description of around 150 characters. Longer text gets cut off in search results, so put the most important words first.
