Operations SEO - Mass Update Content Page SEO Meta Fields by Import

  1. Navigate to "CMS"

    Kodaris generates meta fields for your content pages based on your store SEO and your CMS data. You can also customize the meta fields per page. To mass update the SEO Meta Fields on pages by importing, navigate to the "CMS" section in the operations portal.

  2. Click "Pages"

    Click "Pages". In order to access and edit CMS Pages, you will need to have the role of: "administrator" or "superuser", or have the roles of: "contentView" and "contentEdit".

  3. Select "Data"

    Select the "Data" tab.

  4. Click "Show/Hide Columns" icon

    Click on the "Show/Hide" icon to choose the columns you would like to add to your grid.

  5. Select the needed columns

    In order to update SEO Meta Fields by import, you will need to add the "SEO Meta Description" and "SEO Title Tag" columns to your screen. You can also include other columns that you would like to export and update by importing. In this instance, we are also going to choose the "Code" and "Name" columns. If you would like to remove any columns from this screen before exporting, unselect any columns to remove. If you will be accessing this view often, it may be helpful to save this view with a sticky filter.

  6. Type in the pages keyword

    If you would like, you can choose to only export certain pages by filtering on the pages that you would like to mass update by typing in a keyword in the "Search..." field. Then, hit "Enter".

  7. Click "File"

    Now, click "File".

  8. Click "Export"

    Select the "Export" option. This export will have the needed header row and data that will be used for importing back into the system when using this screen.

  9. Name export

    You can choose to name your export by clicking into the field and typing to update the name.

  10. Click "Save"

    Click "Save" to save the file to your computer. If you are exporting a large amount of data, it may take a small amount of time to complete the export. The file will download and save to your computer.

  11. Header Row

    You can see in this sample export that we have the header row that is needed to import data, and also the exported data from the data tab on the pages screen.

  12. "code" = content page code

    The "code" column contains the content page code. When importing pages' data, the code is required as it is the identifying factor for matching information.

  13. "name" = content page name

    The "name" column contains the name of the page - while not required for importing, it can be a helpful reference when updating content page data. You can also make any needed updates to the names, and update with this import if you would like. If you do not wish to update the "name" data, then just remove the column before importing - or you can add an extra character to the name header, and the column will not update with the import.

  14. "seoMetaDescription" = meta description

    Enter the values you would like to use in "seoMetaDescription" column. If no meta description is set, your global store meta description will be used by default.

  15. "seoTitleTag" = meta title

    Enter the values you would like to use for your "Meta Title" in the "seoTitleTag" column. If no meta title is set, the content page name will be used by default.

  16. Example Spreadsheet

    Once you have entered the data that you would like to update, save your spreadsheet as .CSV file which is spreadsheet compatible and your file is ready to import. Be sure the spreadsheet you are using only contains the data that you would like to update by import. If you remove data from a cell, the data imported into the system will be blank for that field on that page.

  17. Click "File"

    To import the data, click "File".

  18. Click "Import"

    Click "Import". In order to import data, you will need to be set up as an “administrator” or “superuser” or have the roles of: importEdit & importView.

  19. Click "Default Content Page Mapping Update Only"

    Choose your preferred import option. "Default Content Page Mapping" will create any new content page codes included in the spreadsheet and also update existing and new content page codes with the data in your spreadsheet. "Default Content Page Mapping Update Only" will only update existing content page codes with the data in your import. "Default Content Page Mapping Create Only" will only create new content page codes and update the new content page codes with the data in your spreadsheet. Since we only want to update content page data at this time, we want to select the "Default Content Page Mapping Update Only" option.

  20. Choose the file and click "Open"

    Choose your saved .csv file and click "Open" to import. Please be sure that you select the correct file, as there are no rollbacks for imports.

  21. Uploading Spreadsheet

    If you are importing large amounts of data, it may take a short amount of time to complete. The import will continue to run in the background.

  22. Import Report

    Once the import is complete, you will receive an email with the report of your import.

  23. Click "Preview on Website"

    To verify your content page meta fields are properly set, view the page on your website by clicking on the "Preview on Website" icon.

  24. Click "View Page Source"

    Right-click on the page and select "View Page Source". Alternatively, you can press "Ctrl + U" on your keyboard.

  25. Locate the title and meta description tags

    Locate the title and meta description tags, and they should be set to the values you entered for that imported content page. Again, if no meta description is set, your global store meta description will be used by default. If no meta title is set, the content page name will be used by default.
