Managing SEO for Editors

What is SEO Management and why is it important?

Creating a site that’s Optimized for Search Engines (SEO) is the combined responsibility of both the Developer creating and structuring the site as well as the Editors creating content for the site. 

Agility helps streamline this process by providing some built-in fields as part of our Page Management to empower Developers to use them and give Editors a consistent place to manage them. For best results they should be used whenever possible.
