SEO/Metatags
Meta tags are best used when exactly describing the product. Your tags should be accurate, relevant, and descriptive. These tags do not appear on the page itself, but on the page’s code. Some basic guidelines:
|
Meta Title |
Optimal length is under 70 characters, most important keywords need to be first in your title tag (and usually your brand name at the end). Please limit your meta title description to 42 characters as “ThingPark Market by Actility” will be automatically added at the end. Please, add calls to action in the extent possible (“buy”, “browse catalog”,”purchase”) if possible.
|
|
Meta Description |
Recommended Meta description is between 150 and 160 characters. Try to use an active voice and a call to action. |
Images
Here you may add images that represent your brand. Product images can be in a TIFF, Jpeg, or PNG format.
You need to upload two images
➢ Upload your two images in the dedicated section. Please see below for the prefered requested format.
➢ Click on each photo and set which one you want as a “small” or “cover”. We do not suggest you have only one photo being both “small” or “cover” as the result is not showing well on our website.
➢ Photo set up as “small” is showing in “Our Sellers” dedicated page and should not exceed 600 x 300 pixels (2 by 1 report). Make sure to use a logo image
➢ Photo set up as “cover” is showing in Seller’s dedicated page and should not exceed 1250 x 240 pixels (5 by 1 report). Make sure to place a lifestyle image.
➢ Input your alt text / Image description in the right hand side box form, describing the image in as much detail as possible, with keywords separated by hyphens. This will help to improve your brand visibility on the image search tool on search engines.
